My next book is The Internet Con: How to Seize the Means of Computation: it's a disassembly manual that explains how to disenshittify the web and bring back the old good internet. The hardcover comes from Verso on Sept 5, but the comes from me - because Amazon refuses to sell my audio:

I got the green light to go hunting for a blind audiobook narrator! I believe in putting my money back into the community, so anyone know where I can find some blind audiobook narrators? #VoiceOver #AudioBook #Publishing

I confirmed this with my narrator for my #hopepunk #climatefiction #audiobook for Nothing is Promised#4.

It's an important balance: on-strike actors & writers NEED alternate ways to make money so they can stay on strike as long as necessary... and yet NO SCABS!

I'm not gonna cross the picket line, so it's important to know where it is &how to help my fellow striking artists.

If you've been thinking of making #audiobooks WITH HUMAN NARRATORS...now's a good time.

I might have a job for an indie voice actor/audio book reader but don't know where to look?

Where can I find someone lookin for a basic audio book job?

Helloo! Calling all lovely people who like #sff #books with lashings of mystery and detection. We've just been given some reviewer #audiobook codes for our novel, OverLondon and would love to share them with anyone with a hankering to listen, (hopefully) snort-laugh and leave a review.

OverLondon has pirate detectives. It's got rogue artificers! It's got a big explosive crime. It's got an angry badger! It's got an alternate version of London formed by the Vengeful Queen Anne Boleyn! It's got a world so vivid we regularly run #ttrpg #dnd and pathfinder campaigns based on it. It radiates awesomeness like the power of a supernova that's showing off for its grandparents!

It's narrated by Brendan McDonald who did C.K. McDonnell's amazing Stranger Times audiobooks, which roosted like Smaug on his gold pile at no 1 in the Audible charts for 3 entire days last month. (A near impossible feat!)

It's been likened to what would happen if Spike Milligan and Terry Pratchett ever wrote a book!

If the thought of listening to an amazing voice actor at the height of his game sounds like your cup of tea, just message me or reply, and we'll get you sorted with a code.

And if it's not, that's super cool too!

Either way, I hope you're having a lovely day!

One of my absolutely favorite #SciFi #dystopian short #stories is "The Machine Stops" by E.M. Forster.

It reads as though it was written in the mid 20th century, but it was first published in 1909!

I reread or listen to it maybe every two years. This week, I listened to it as an #audiobook for the first time.

There's always something I find in it that applies to life in the moment. This round, #enshittification popped up for me.

Well worth the read/listen. #AmReading

Good night. 🌠 #3GoodThings

  1. I got laundry done. Took me three days but I got some done. 😁
  2. Got some reading done today in #Braille as well as listening to an #AudioBook.
  3. We looked at some things to make our home “smart” and have placed an order. I’m excited to set things up and not have to worry about anything ever again. Well, until the stuff has to be replaced.
    Sleep well and may your dreams be out of this world. 🤗🫶❤️🫂

A friend caught a tuna while this morning & shared 4lbs with us. Husband is currently in the kitchen muttering sweet nothings to it, slicing it into smaller pieces- some to eat tonight, some to freeze- I'm outside soaking up the heat and listening to my (rather 🔥🔥 naughty 🔥🔥) . Happy Friday! 😉🎆

Every one of the voices used by Eleven Labs in their initial model is a recognizable audiobook narrator. I hope Eleven Labs is paying them well for the use of their voice.

Sometimes I draw #audiobook covers for #LibriVox, a public domain project where you can listen and download (mostly) old books read by volunteers.

All my covers are made with #inkscape and .svg are available on the #internetarchive

This time I decided to draw a #sheep and use gradients despite not being very comfortable with them 🙈 The audiobook is "Catalogs to sleep by" a collection of texts aimed at helping you.. to #sleep! 💤

  1. SIL has made a change to our travel plans so I won’t be leaving until Tuesday. Hopefully that extra day will be good for me and the side effects will have lessened.
  2. Most of the packing is done, just have to wait for SIL to get here.
  3. Finished an #AudioBook today.
    Sleep well and may your dreams be sweet. 🥰🫶❤️🫂

This #audiobook of IT by #StephenKing is narrated by Steven Weber and he does such a fantastic job, especially with all the voices he's asked to do including a lot of Maine accents, that I have a much greater appreciate for his acting talents and it makes me excited for getting to watching The Shining minseries he stars in which I picked up on #VHS a few months back for my watch through of Mike Garris's filmography.

Czy tożsamość to coś stałego? A może otwierając się na inność, tak naprawdę niszczysz własną osobowość? I czym w ogóle jest ta inność, która próbuje w ciebie wtargnąć? Odmiennym widzeniem świata? Zbyt mocno przeżywaną fikcją? A może... demonem?
