It’s Friday! It’s nearly June! How the heck did that happen?! Here’s our #NewstodonFriday selection of stories from independent newsrooms and a few that caught the Flipboard editorial team’s eye. And while there’s hard-hitting journalism in there (we live in hard-hitting times), there’s more than our usual number of inspiring, positive stories of hope and beauty amidst destruction and oppression. 
@timkmakTim Mak’s team writes about secret apartment concerts in Ukraine. 
@TheConversationUS’s story is about “bone music” in Soviet Russia. We’ll end with a Tiny Desk concert from 
@npr to take you into the weekend. Please follow independent publishers on the open social web, engage with their stories, and donate money if you can. ⤵️
