The LAPD murdered Keenan Anderson. A beloved high school English teacher and father who FLAGGED THEM DOWN FOR HELP after a car accident. He was a threat to no one. He needed help and it cost him his life. The LAPD must be held accountable for this at all costs. #KeenanAnderson

There is no level of adequate mental health care that can be given to someone who is houseless that will change the structural conditions of their houselessness. Safe shelter is a baseline, a foundation, for any remotely useful psychiatric care.

Not being able to provide yourself with food, housing, and health care is an indictment of a failed neoliberal capitalist settler colonial state — NOT an indication of mental illness.

Also: being in a “delusional state” can be a form of self-protection/self-defense for people living in chronically vulnerable, survival situations where full cognitive awareness is actually just painful or not sustainable. What we call mental illness is not the root of the root.

Houseless folks deserve access to competent, free, accessible mental health care + opportunities for culturally and trauma responsive healing + harm reduction on their OWN TERMS. That meets them where they’re at IN community. That starts with/centers meeting basic needs.

Melody McKiver | #CovidIsAirborne

Jumping in on the annual Spotify discourse, full text in the alt but tl;dr, I pay more money to Spotify and Distrokid annually than I receive in return for sharing my music. I'm especially mad seeing Spotify CEO Daniel Ek run to the aid of Apartheid Mush in today's news.

This is Spotify. Spotify rips off artists.

From January 1 - October 31 2022, Melody McKiver had 10970 streams on Spotify.

Spotify paid out $34.83163501 US for 10970 streams, before fees paid to Distrokid ($35.99 US annually) for having their music available on streaming services. That works out to $0.00317517 per song.

Many independent artists don't even break even on the costs to make their music available on the largest streaming service(s).

In contrast, from January 1 - October 31 2022, Melody McKiver sold the equivalent of 382 tracks for a profit of $283.33US at Bandcamp. That's an equivalent of $0.7417 per song.

Had all of the Spotify listeners purchased from Bandcamp, Melody McKiver would have made close to $8136.45 instead of $34.83.

The image is posted in the format of Spotify's branding, and features Anishinaabe artist Melody McKiver holding a viola in the bottom left corner.

And they do. In Q1 of last year, Tesla's entire profit came from selling half a billion dollars of carbon credits to other carmakers. Which hey, good for them, but in reality it means driving and owning a Tesla hasn't actually reduced global emissions at all. 6/

Because Tesla is basically selling indulgences to other manufacturers so they can continue building and selling fleets of ICE vehicles that don't meet standards, delaying the day the rest of the industry commits to investing in decarbonization. 7/
