Hi art and design bluesky! I'd like to commission a poster to convey the message that audiobooks are real books. My new place will have very few books, and I want visitors to have a visible clue that I STILL READ. #artsky The vibe should be nonbinary and ungendered.

Nobody. Wants. This. Audiobooks are an art form. AI narrators are not even remotely qualified to replace the talented human narrators. And I think Audible is kidding themselves if they think people are going to use a $12 credit on something read by a machine.

Just heard about SoundCloud's scraping of all content to train AI - no notice, no way to opt out...and I'm feeling...all the bad-sad-mad things. I've used it for both pub sharing & priv collaboration & coaching for 15 yrs...they stole 15 yrs of "me" to train tech to make a "Better ME". Sickening 💔

...drawn in...then quietly blown away... Just found the SPARKS podcast this morning and holy hellballs...THIS. Beyond minimalist, and compelling as hell. Its simplicity is its superpower, and the performance is phenomenal. open.spotify.com/show/1mXggYf...

Out of the dark forest mist, it rises — THE STAIRCASE IN THE WOODS is now on bookstore shelves! I hope you’ll check it out, spread the word, leave a review somewhere, let it whisper to you, do its dark bidding, give yourself over to it entirely, your bones become balusters, you know, normal stuff
