reminder to come visit yur mum's house tonight at 8pm EST
Heyyyy, errybody!
Until I source a way to do separate, opt-in notifications—broadcasting from the hottest, but cleanest college radio basement studio in the USofA—here's a reminder to join me tonight from 8pm until 10pm at wbar.org/listen at yur mum's house.
Since being radicalized in high school/first year of college by the South African anti-apartheid movement, learning about queer liberation, and chasing freedom on the dancefloor in gay clubs, my solidarities and allegiances are obvious.
Tonight I'll feature two sets by Palestinian DJ Sama' Abdulhadi. Interspersed will be always-on-🩰 words from Angela Davis on solidarity as historical and imperative, and why its impossible to live in a silo. Also featured: poetry by the inimitable June Jordan who was speaking out our American complicity with the war machine way before any of the current carnage.
Here's just one tech tip to keep Just the One moderately on-brand:
I'm trying to put down perfectionism and the crazy-making of zero-inbox, but also be a responsible newsletter sender so I recommend this free (for now) tool, Omnivore, for managing mailing list and newsletter subscriptions! Think Pocket or Read It Later, but better.
I like Omivore because:
It's open source and free while it's in development...and development doesn't mean buggy! It works so well, I went back a couple of times to figure out how to pay for it. High praise from this cheapskate.
Their privacy policy is legible and earnest and I believe them when they say they don't sell our data (leave that to the 🤬 State, if you register an LLC...)
You can generate an email address (yes, another one) to have newsletters sent to an Ominvore inbox or to send yourself documents, such as .pdfs.
My email inbox is no longer cluttered with newsletters. I can go to the minimalist and easy to navigate Ominvore inbox when I feel like it to read articles or have them read to me by its text-to-speech feature in the mobile app. Great for following recipes!
You can create labels to facilitate reading the content when you want.
Be safe...stop scrolling...turn off the so-called-news...seek critical nuance...be well...get rest.
I hate binaries, but as Howard Zinn said,
You can't be neutral on a moving train.
