Their platform actively harms the arts. Facebook sucks. Metaverse sucks, and even if it didn't, nobody sane is going to move their art there, because we know facebook would fuck us there too. Leave, and do something that makes the world better.

Don't be scared of escalation, and don't submit to the politics of appeasement. You see that the enemy is weak, and has literally no changes against the united front. It's only if we get scared and polarised we lose our power. Push back on their imperialism and propaganda.

🚨I wrote about “brain fog”—one of the most common & disabling symptoms of long COVID (and many other pre-pandemic conditions), and one of the most misunderstood.
