I find it requires an uncanny amount of energy to just coexist with and compartmentalize the worldsuck. That just doing laundry is a willful act of hope.

Partial Veil was recommended to me a ton and I finally listened to the first episode. I'm pretty optimistic and subscribed. Might be way off but I'm getting True Detective vibes. #AmListening #audiodrama

I heard the 1st episode of LIMINAL last night. It's a miniseries (?) where someone goes real deep while lucid dreaming - and gets stuck. My vibe is ... Inception + Freddy Krueger, in the what-happens-in-dreams-is-real sense. Easy subscribe for me.

Most fiction is an exercise in empathy, and novels have the unique quality of putting other people’s lives in one’s head.
That skill is not useful to the alt-right vision of the future. Novels are consequently deprioritized.

Nothing like punching down on indie creators who are basically blessed if they even break even with ads.
for all the #audiodrama folks out there, be aware of these POS. they're stealing podcasts and rebroadcasting, obviously violating copyright: podnews.net/article/podc...
The tool copying podcasts, stripping the ads, and selling them
It might have cost the podcast industry almost a million dollars in lost revenue
