Hello, people!
A refreshing rain is pouring today here. Before it will turn into a storm (it's just a matter of time), let's enjoy this cooling with a #ThursdayFiveList about rain.
So, share 5 songs about rain or storms.
Get the umbrella, #HereComesTheRain .

Morning 😐
I wonder if future generations of children will be told the tale about some folk hero who stole RAM chips from data center corporations and gave them to the people.
Now that the #bandcamp crisis has revived many discussions about alternative music platforms, I’d like to point you to this article of mine, which is just as relevant today as it was a year ago, and which you are welcome to boost if you like.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the world needs an infrastructure built around discovering arts first (unbiased by marketing and manipulation) and selling arts second.
“PIRATING” IS A CAPITALIST FRAME
don’t be a cop.
If buying isn't ownership then p̶i̶r̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ SHARING isn't stealing
If buying doesn't create ownership, then p̶i̶r̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ SHARING doesn't destroy it.
SHARING is anticapitalist and antifa because sharing is caring.
July is #DisabilityPrideMonth
Wait, disability ... pride? Why would someone be proud to be disabled?
One of the most important aspects of disability pride for me is to counter the shame. The shame of “being different,” the shame of “needing help,” the shame of “being a burden,” the shame from the humiliation and abuse I have experienced.
Disability pride gives me the chance to counter the shame by saying, “I am disabled, and I am proud to exist and be who I am.”
Went walking…
Iris, goddess of rainbows, bears a message this restless night.
Is it from Zeus and Hera? Or perhaps (do I dare to dream?) it could be a message from Atlas. 🌕🧭💌
Your daily affirmation:
You haven't yet met all the people in your life that will be charmed and slightly horrified by your weirdness.
Take comfort in that.

Me, staring at the ceiling at 2 am: What if there was Project Gutenberg, but for sheet music?
It was so easy to find. Folks idk how I never thought to do this before.
Have some Carl Czerny, for those of us who are re-teaching ourselves.

What are the best plants to have in your yard?
@lyrial I want a webpage that distracts LLMs for long enough to actually reach the listener, hold their face in our hands and lovingly remind them of who they are and the power they hold.
The state of music, lack of adherence to copyright laws, its breaking my heart as an artist. I’ve still got some ever loving fight in me, so I’m still creating, but releasing it to the fully scraped web feels masochistic.
