🎱❤️8 BALL NEEDS YOUR HELP - FUNDRAISING UPDATE❤️🎱

First and foremost, we want to thank every single person who was made a donation to our fundraiser, or spread the word. As of today, we have raised just over $8,000. The support we have received so far means the world!

We are still $11,850 short of our original $20,000 goal, and with our current lease ending in August, we may not be able to continue operating out of a physical space in the fall. The funds we are hoping to raise through our current campaign will only cover our most basic needs — paying the remainder of the rent for our Chinatown office and preparing for a potential move in the fall.

To be able to provide printing resources to ~200 members and allied groups, broadcast dozens of weekly radio shows, produce apparel, support TV production and keep our equipment in good shape, the amount we need to raise is even higher.

We have been operating as an independent, volunteer-run collective for 13 years, and need your support to continue providing a vital gathering space for individuals of all ages and identities to get inspired, build lasting connections, and create amazing zines, videos, radio shows, events, and merch, while feeling a sense of shared ownership over the space and its operations.

We have launched a fundraising campaign via Fractured Atlas for the remaining funds we need to keep the lights on. The current campaign allows you to make a one-time donation without creating an account, while recurring donors will be asked to register an account. As a way to thank you for your support, we have added a reward system — by donating you can claim a mystery merch item or a piece of art lovingly drawn by our volunteers.

As always, link in bio <3
Any donation is much appreciated – thank you!

i gotta combine the movement day 1 post and my HYBRIDITY posts!!

despite being in detroit i will have an episode of HYBRIDITY out THIS MONDAY at its regular time of 8pm!! i had to prerecord this one as i’m obviously out of town and i didn’t have time this month to write as many loops as i normally do so this episode is going to be pretty special

i’ve told some of you that i’ve been working on a release that i want to put out by the end of the summer and part of the reason i haven’t been writing loops is because i’ve been working on arranging some of these loops into full tracks, and for this episode of HYBRIDITY i will be featuring a number of these tracks alongside new stuff i’ve been digging and past tracks i’ve loved that i’ve played on the show before!! so if you want a lil preview of what that release might sound like TUNE IN MONDAY at @8ballradio

thank youuuuuu

View Instagram Stories in Secret

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
