Today (5/2/24), I noticed Spotify put their lyrics behind a pay-wall, and I'm pretty sure that's an accessibility issue - but by how much, and what can we all do about it to get this ridiculous change reversed?

I don't use Spotify, so I can't answer "What can we do about it?"

But off the top of my head, two major accessibility issues I can think of:

Understanding the lyrics for those with hearing / audio processing disorders, and

For those who want to share and talk about the lyrics but can't type them out.

Thanks for telling me. Maybe other folks have ideas on what to do about this.

I find this interesting. I will reblog.

DO NOT DO THIS!!!

If a website has a paywall, like New York Times, DO NOT use the ctrl+A shortcut then the ctrl+c shortcut as fast as you can because then you may accidentally copy the entire article before the paywall comes up. And definitely don't do ctrl+v into the next google doc or whatever you open because then you will accidentally paste the entire article into a google doc or something!!!! I repeat DO NOT do this because it is piracy which is absolutely totally wrong!!!

Yeah yeah we’ve all been to the combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell, but what about I want researchers to be given both fair wage and money to do all the research they desire and also have knowledge for free not locked behind pay walls. Where is my combination abundantly paid for research and free knowledge market huh?

Since we're talking about abstract art, I don't think I've shown these off before.

So the basic technique is:

1. Start with a black canvas.

2. Swirl dish soap in a cool pattern on the canvas. (The soap will be the black lines later)

3. Spray the canvas with spray paint. The paint slides off the soap, but will dry on the non-soaped bits.

4. Wait for it to dry, then gently rinse the canvas to get the soap off and air dry it.

You can also spray paint the canvas first, let it dry, then soap, and spray black (or another color) over it. (Which is what I did for the last one. I also washed that one more aggressively, which got some cool texture stuff going on)

i went on a 3.5 hour walk and suddenly the phrase “i’m sorry you saw me growing and decided it wasn’t worth staying to see who i became” came to me so vividly and intensely that i had to find somewhere to sit so i wouldn’t collapse where i stood.

Just remembered that one picture of Leigh standing next to Cary lmfao

Adam wants to get down for the sake of his dignity, and totally not because being hoisted up kinda freaks him out a little

Preach!

Rant: The early access model has kind of creatively bankrupted CC, actually.
