#BandcampFriday is one day where Bandcamp waives its fees to artists. So it's the perfect time to buy music to support musicians. But in my case, I'm having to fundraise to pay down bills for my mobility aid (underseat steered recumbent e-trike) and physical therapy, and other medical bills that I currently cover out of pocket. So if you have wanted to help out, but don't like using Paypal (my only way of getting money otherwise), buying my music on Bandcamp with a tip is a great way to do it and buying today when fees to me are waived is an even better way! Hopefully you like the music, too! #Disability #MutualAid #Cycling #BikeTooter

Has anybody here solved the following conundrum?

  • wanting a bluetooth/gps tracker to be able to recover a stolen bicycle (or other use case)
  • not trusting Google, Apple and other companies to not use/sell/lose data
  • using a deGoogled phone and Linux computer (in my case, LineageOS and Fedora)

That is, I would want to be able to recover my bicycle if stolen, while keeping my daily movements as private as possible. Enshittified web search has not helped much..

Morning all. Here are some posters I've released into the wild. They are very well house-trained, though it's best to pen them in a frame, behind glass. It stops them wandering off or causing any mischief. You can find lots of domesticated wall-art here: https://www.edwardphilips.co.uk Have a lovely weekend! xx #illustration #wallart #birds #cycling #jazz #xmas #art #scotland

Tonight, on day one of #DougFord 's planned removal of #Toronto bike lanes, protesters successfully blocked their removal. Toronto folks would rather that $50 million be spent on keeping small town hospital ER's open or getting school roofs fixed. #Ontario #onpoli #topoli #cycling

👋 Hey! I’m Javi, and here’s my #Introduction in English

🏔️ I’m into #Mountains, #TrailRunning, mountaineering, climbing, #Gravel #Cycling and gorgeous bikes in general. I’m pretty obsessed with #Campervans, loud, distorted guitars, and tinkering with #UNIX. But above all, #Cats who doesn't love them?

Progressive and openly anti-fascist.

💻 I make a living working for “The Evil Empire” as an #SRE at #IBM #Research #Quantum

PD: I had to recover this introduction toot

:wq

Today is #BandcampFriday, when they waive their fees so artists can take home more of what you're paying for the music. I'm a disabled person who's falling behind due to medical, mobility aid, and other costs. If you buy my music with a '"tip" as a form of #MutualAid today, it would really help me keep my head above water. https://meganlynch.bandcamp.com/album/the-krakatoa-sessions #Disability #Cycling

:boosts_ok: I need to ask for aid again.

I'm disabled, with no partner, no children, and little in-person community. I know everyone has a lot of needs right now and everyone's hurting. However, if you're able to spare something to help out,

I'm grateful to all who've helped me get this far with trying to pay down the trike debt! 😚 Recent donations went to paying for PT appointments, which I'm still in the middle of.

And I just found out today my landlord will now be billing extra each month to pass on building expenses to tenants.

  • I have yet to pay off my mobility aid (which I desperately needed, doctor's orders).

  • A fall last Dec worsened one of my disabilities and I'm doing PT again so I can get out of pain enough to sleep through the night. It's all out of pocket.

-And my survival plan is getting into a PhD program and there are unfortunately costs involved with that.

Paypal direct is best if you do PP: paypal dot me slash plantedu

But if you don't do PP, #BandcampFriday on October 2 means more of the money people buy my music with goes to me instead of fees. So if you want to use a credit card, this is the best way I have so far. Buy with a big tip = donation to help disabled geezer get along.
