"this is just like star wars. this is just like Harry potter. actually this is like battlestar galactica" actually maybe the things that are happening are real? and are occurring in reality, in the real world? and constantly viewing them through the lens of fantasy isn't helping?

I NEED to stop having hyper-specific ideas for audio drama fanfics. At least this idea will fit in well with what's already being written by fans, unlike some of my other fandoms where I'm the outlier. 😅

Reminder: jury nullification won't be in your jury instructions and is not something you're allowed to talk about in court. If you bring up jury nullification during jury selection, you WILL be thrown off the jury. Want to nullify? Just vote to acquit. That's all nullification is: a vote to acquit.

I'll never understand "F*ck you, I got mine". What's the point of achieving glorious heights if you can't share that experience with others? It's just an empty existence. No point to it. "I got mine, now let's get you yours" will always be the more fulfilling option.

I love getting jumpscared by hearing @betheyre.bsky.social in every audiodrama I'm relistening to. Today it's Wolf 359. Also, I'm terrible with names but can identify someone's voice within a few words and I think that shows how many podcasts I listen to. 😂

Pride Month so far: Jonathan Joss is murdered in a disgusting hate crime and the Navy intentionally announces they are changing the name of the USNS HARVEY MILK. America... now more than ever... David Lynch's words ring loudly. "Fix your hearts or die." This cannot be our normal.

So, I think it's time I begin, in detailed specifics, talking about the mess that is Unbound / Boundless as a book publisher, in essence stealing most of a years royalties from me and many other authors, as a result of poor financial decisions, and legal BS. Please read and share this thread.

Audio fiction friends, let's boost this! An incredible sounding musical audio drama is currently crowdfunding. It's produced by two women of colour and looks gorgeous. Musicals always cost a lot to make, so let's spread the word and help it happen!

Yeah. It’s like “how do we talk to Joe Rogan fans” have you considered activating new and lapsed democratic voters who care about universal healthcare and trans issues and maybe even Palestine instead of ice skating uphill to convert a handful of unreliable flat earthers

I've been relistening to all of #TheBrightSessions by @atypicalartists.co (accidentally celebrating 10 years, I guess) and I NEED to know if the theme song for The College Tapes is available anywhere. I bop along every single episode.

Then let it ded. You cannot have my work. I'm not giving any permission. I am at the point of burn out and you want my work for free so you can sit on your lazy ass and use it to make money while you kill the planet and ruin artists lives. Absolute Parasites.

I've been relistening to The Bright Sessions and the opening credits of an episode mentions Octavia Bray and I'm such an audio drama fan that I got excited because I love her work on Cry Havoc and I'd totally forgotten she wrote for The AM Archives too!

It bears repeating that 5calls.org makes it incredibly easy to contact your reps. They give you the phone numbers, a script to read, and a run down of what is happening with each issue. I just called my senators in my pjs half awake and I'll probably do it some more later

your regular reminder that buying Harry Potter stuff gives money to Rowling and she uses that money directly and in large quantities to fund attacks on trans people no ethical consumption under capitalism and all but “don’t buy Potter stuff” is an extremely easy baseline to follow

"Lmao you can totally see this thing is derivative of-" yeah and? That's fine! You can't create in a vacuum. Art can't escape us, no matter how hard it tries- art is nothing but the endless, pathetic, and ultimately impossible process of repurposing ourselves towards escape velocity.

Hello! I’m raising funds for Rose and Alessa. While moving to Europe to escape an abusive living situation (and DeSantis’ Florida), bad weather left them stranded in NYC and lost them jobs overseas. Funds will be used to pay for a place to live and necessities till they can save to leave the US.

Long-standing issues in my bathroom are FINALLY getting fixed tomorrow (after being shrugged off for years) so I used that as motivation to finally tidy up and reorganize the bathroom counter. I've got a ways to go, but I'm so proud of myself.

Today I suddenly remembered back when @jonrisinger.bsky.social streamed Minecraft occasionally and every time he found diamonds, I'd make a joke about how many diamond shovels he could make. Simpler times. (Why is there no shovel emoji?)
