I want more folks to know about libro.fm as an alternative to Audible or Spotify or other shady corps.

It’s 100% employee-owned and works like Audible, except your credits support an indie bookstore of your choosing instead of Amazon.

If you’ve never seen Dorothea Lange’s photographs of the World War II internment camps and the Japanese-Americans who were imprisoned there, today is a good day to see them and to commit to making sure this never happens again.

Producers mostly did a good job this year picking numbers for the Tony Awards that make you want to see their show. The number from Illinoise, however, is above and beyond. Absolutely gorgeous.

At the risk of not following instructions, I helped work on this hilarious webnovel out today — think The Princess Bride meets Little Mermaid but make it gay — that fits this description pretty damn closely.

But huge caveat that heroine & love interest would both be dudes.

Huh, I’d never heard of them. Maybe a once-you-notice-you-see-them thing? Or they got good SEO/PR reps, some culture editors pounced, and the algorithm fed you more kind of thing? (Goes to my own larger thoughts of how hard it is to identify trends across individual circle / algorithmic feeds.)
