#AudioDramaSunday! Today I did a few random things I stumbled over, Omen, Dark Tides, Hot Survivors Near You. ooh and I better squeeze in the new mini-sode of The Strange Case of Starship Iris before bed! And I can stop hoarding eps of @oz9podcast.bsky.social right?

As every glimpse of the news kicks my fight or flight, I look around and realize the only reason I can afford to live alone is because I got on the property ladder early and cheap. There’s nowhere to go not because there’s nowhere to go, but because I can’t afford to. :(

I love podcasts, I always do #audiodramaSunday but I think I’m going to implement a #NonfictionSaturday for #podcasts! Today, BBC Evil Genius and Unexpected Elements, and Inside Science, then Gastropod, Atlas Obscura and Science and the Sea! 🤩🎧

#AudiodramaSunday! The Godfrey audio guide, waiting for October, the Vesta Clinic, the mysterious old radio listening society, Victoriocity, and hello from the magic Tavern! Some old stuff mixed in with some new stuff, and I saved the new episode of Oz9 for when I need a pick-me-up! 😁

I wonder if I can get an answer. #allergies #allergist does anyone know if a bug bite can trigger a rash elsewhere on the body? In summer, I frequently have a minor bumpy rash over my shoulder(s) and/or very itchy rash on the back of one arm. These are *not* adjacent to bites.

Can I get a #sociologist to weigh in on this? I think there’s more to it but I honestly cannot parse a lot of it.. splitticket.substack.com/p/elite-femi...

So far, the one correct thing he has said is that we should not take medical advice from him. 😅🤦‍♀️

Today, we honor the service members who gave their lives for this country. We’ll be posting less so our team, and all of you, can take time to reflect, remember, and spend the day with loved ones. We’ll only post if truly needed.

Amid those anxieties, the idea surfaced that federal judges should form their own armed security force. That would involve bringing the US Marshals Service under the direct control of the head of the judiciary, Chief Justice John Roberts. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...?

You know 10 years ago I would’ve said “we’re in this together”. But now I am firmly on the quote “if you voted for him, no one should save you from him” team. Team F’koff & dye.

So I looked into Canada, and I learned that they are also going backwards. Not into fascism, but… regressing. Does anyone know why the world is regressing? How did progress get broken? is there an article or a book or something that I can read and understand?

#AudioDramaSunday! WorldGoneWrong, SPR, Oz9, StoryTime with Wil Wheaton, Have Monster Will Travel, and the crowning gem shockily applicable to current events, Levar Burton Reads: The Hidden Forests of Earth & Mars. Yay!

It’s interesting. I just realized many of my favorite book series from when I was younger involves partnerships with symbiotic relationships between species or variations on the same species. 🤔 #booksky 📚💙

This is the kind of thing that, if true, leads to life sentences for treason

Ep of Sected, 2 of Solar, SPR which i keep forgetting to add to my list, and an ep of Waiting for October. Happy #AudioDramaSunday, kids. :)

Sigh. If I have the kind of #ADHD where I process slightly more slowly, what is my superpower? I task switch quickly, but I do not absorb quickly at all. :(

"Solar" is bingeworthy. it’s a big money production by comparison to most of the things I listen to, and usually that stuff is too...standard? Sterile?.. For me. But I'm loving this one. #AudioDramaSunday

Shame on every D who ever says this guy has a point about anything.

there’s positive? tell me anything, literally anything...

Raskin: "Look at how sick that is. Basically anybody who has rendered any ruling they disapprove of they think should be removed from the bench. Any lawyer who has ever represented a party adverse to them they think should be cleared out of the way. That is in naked opposition to the rule of law."

this was from A Wise Man's Fear by Patrick Rothfuss, BTW. The audiobook for both that one and the predecessor are just phenomenal. The book itself is gorgeously worded and the reader is amazing. 10 out of 5 stars. #booksky 📚💙

"...it's not just you. Things are bad and my gut tells me they'll get worse yet. It wouldn't hurt a man to get ready for a hard winter, and maybe see that he can defend himself if need be." Sigh. I obviously started this book at exactly the right time. #booksky 📚💙

Hey #AudioDrama #podcast fans, you should go listen to this. It’s one of my favorites and I have good taste. ;)

I'm probably opening a can of worms here, but has anyone found a #bible version that emphasizes love and acceptance? There's a segment of #christian folks who are just keeping their heads down... IF you want to to scream about "GOD IS A TOOL OF PATRIARCHY!" this post is not for you. just scroll.

Read the whole article. And ponder this:

Hey #podcast people, #AudioDramaSunday people, if you were loading up a player with a ton of episodes in advance before taking the device into airplane mode for weeks or longer, what would it be?

Happy #AudioDramaSunday! Today: Sected is back and has clearly been watching American politics! Also Fawx & Stallion and Victoriocity and a couple mini-sodes of Moonbase Theta Out from @monkeymanprime.bsky.social! Also loving The Godfrey Audio Archive! Wonderfully weird! ❤️

I had to pull over on the side of the road on my way back home today! #birb #bird #lakesuperior 🪶

Sunday morning pecker! Have bird, be happy like bird. For just a second. 🥹 #birb #bird #birdfeeder 🪶

Love. 👇 Science + creativity = win. 💪 "...context-driven audio drama was effective in reducing the strength of belief in COVID vaccine misinformation & increasing the perceived safety of the vaccines." "...strong protective effect against belief in misinformation." www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I live near the Great Lakes. And I cannot get my friends riled up about him threatening to go to war with Canada (he uses the word “annex“. But unwilling annexation is war). I have been planning a home improvement loan to fix up my house. I don’t know if I should.

#AudiodramaSunday today! But I'm tired so you'll have to settle for names: Cybernautica The Godfrey Audio Guide Who the F*ck Killed my Sister an old ep of Levar Burton Reads Oz9 and the first ep of Waiting for October! There's new stuff mixed in there, all looking promising! <3

Saw someone on Insta claim that they wish “RFK’s coroner” would release their own report on Gene Hackman’s cause of death, because they don’t like “mainstream coroners’ reports.” Bitch, what??
