Shout out Kaya Thomas-Dyke. I saw Alfa and his band play in Glasgow, she held it down flawlessly all night then stepped upto the mic for 'Breathe' and blew everyone away. What a woman. I see you Kaya!

[@OdhranWAR]

She’s such a beast of a musician but goes about her business with pure class. True artistry!

[@CRASS2047]

It’s strange how once you get into this stuff, nothing else seems to do it any more. Jordan Rakai, and Alpha Mist are the top of the game in my little universe.

[@newtagwhodis4535]

@@mcovarrubiasc if only the tips (I live off of to make this job effort make any sense financially) reflected it. Chicago. 1/12 tip anything, even a penny. Tip your drivers please if you see this. Lyft and Uber pocket consistently 60-70% of the ride fare. I keep only 30-40%. Don’t forget us while we have your lives in our stressed hands for a few minutes. Still an exploitive scam. 1 year in…

[@newtagwhodis4535]

@@mcovarrubiasc it’s uniquely American to not tip, btw. Foreigners always do. When I hear an accent when they get in, it nearly makes my day. At least it makes my heart content on the ride, all the while knowing the next sloppy, bossy Karen or Ken make requests and demands, while coughing with no mask, then shirks off even saying thanks to me after perfect performance and comfort and effort. Please remember this. This is a regular occurrence. Some of us really do try. We’re being failed, please don’t contribute to the anti-labor norm that’s being shaped in America. We see the wage by changes in regular fares decrease, making it one week, 30$ per hour to the next, 36 minutes drive = 6-8$. It’s theft.
