Artists are not supposed to care about commerce.

The lies told to artists mirror the lies told to women: Be good enough, be pretty enough, and that guy or gallery will sweep you off your feet to the picket fence land of generous collectors and 2.5 kids.

But make the first move,

seize your destiny,

and you're a whore.

-Molly Crabapple, Drawing Blood.

This day in history

I’m kickstarting the audiobook for “The Internet Con: How To Seize the Means of Computation,” a Big Tech disassembly manual to disenshittify the web and bring back the old, good internet. It’s a DRM-free book, which means Audible won’t carry it, so this crowdfunder is essential. Back now to get the audio, Verso hardcover and ebook:
