completely blind computer geek, lover of science fiction and fantasy (especially LitRPG). I work in accessibility, but my opinions are my own, not that of my employer. Fandoms: Harry Potter, Discworld, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Buffy, Dead Like Me, Glee, and I'll read fanfic of pretty much anything that crosses over with one of those.

@jdking92 I am someone who has a very strong belief that I can do this for anyone and that it will make them feel better.

Excitedly waiting for the day (probably tomorrow) when this instance has over a million notes stored.

@TSchulte Yeah. CBC did a good job as always, but it's far too late to remember now.

Excellent of Remembrance Day on as always. Usually, I cry because we remember. This year, I cried because we have forgotten.

@mcourcel @dhamlinmusic We do know each other outside of Mastodon, so it was probably overdue.

@dhamlinmusic Dark humour is best humour. Just like dark chocolate is best chocolate.

@dhamlinmusic Oh, this one also looks good; not sure why I haven't heard of it yet.

@dhamlinmusic Not sure I'd say DCC fits my current mood, even though I loved it. Emily Wild's looks fun, though!

I've been spending too much time on Royal Road lately. As much as I dislike Amazon, Kindle Unlimited is how the authors writing the things I want to read make a living. Well, "living" might be overstating it a bit. Never-the-less, I can't afford to subscribe to fifty Patreons, and at least someone, somewhere, gets something if I read on KU. Problem is that Royal Road is way better at pushing me books I enjoy than Amazon/Goodreads are, and literally none of the openweb book sites (bookworm, etc.) seem to have any readers at all. So anyone wanna sell me on something on ? Right now, I'm looking for or , and smut are okay as long as there's also plot, only if the main character is a sweetheart, and I have a slight preference for or , or fun offbeat main characters. I'm in the mood for something that vaguely matches the vibes of stuff like Terminate the Other World! by Icalos, Courier Quest by Flossindune, This Used To Be About Dungeons by Alexander Wales, or Beesong Chronicles by Benjamin Medrano. Please don't recommend anything by Logan Jacobs or Eric Vall; they always sound okay, but end up disappointing me. Kindle Unlimited isn't a hard requirement, I'll buy a book if it matches the above vibes and isn't on KU.

If you don’t have at least a couple dozen people on your blocklist, can you really even call yourself part of the fediverse?

Also, the have more rights than us humans. Blind folks had to fight for years and years for copyright exemptions that would allow us to access and read books. The AI bots are just allowed to read as many books as they want, and swallow entire libraries whole. Yup; I'd definatly be better off as a bot.
