Lydia X. Y. Brown isn't as focused on autism anymore, but they still write about autism sometimes, and their blog archives are gold.https://www.autistichoya.com/#RedInstead #AutismResources #actuallyautistic

@emsenn I guess I'm coming from a different place than many American white folks because I HAVE a culture other than whiteness already. So for me decolonizing largely looks likes 1) embracing my Jewish heritage, 2) recognizing and removing from myself those things that come from the European-Christian hegemony, 3) learning to recognize and correct those things which are harmful within Judaism, including aspects of white culture European and white American Jews have picked up in recent centuries

Libro.fm is featuring "audiobooks about racism and antiracism, and amplify black voices."If you are looking for new listening material (and a chance to support black-owned small business) now's a good time to check them out.

@Algot The leaves look different from dandelion leaves too. Is that how you distinguish them?

I'm interested in starting to do some recording (audio versions of my books, founds files for pronunciation guides) and can't afford a 'good' microphone. Been looking at headsets w/ boom mic in the $30-$90 range and running out of spoons.Can anyone point me to brand of headsets that are worth looking at bc all the info I'm seeing focuses on output quality, not input.I don't expect to be able to get professional grade, but if possible I'd like 'good amateur.'

Hi Jess, I am presenting strategies for digital accessibility (word, ppt, zoom, social media) on 9/14 to the Network of Human Services Agencies. I was wondering if you wanted to give me a testimonial on why digital accessibility is important and/or strategies that are helpful for you. This testimonial can be written or I can do a 1 minute clip on zoom (where I will record it). I will make sure you approve it before it is used. (1/3)

A large polyamory org (or perhaps several) are promoting a vote for an 'official' polyamory flag in November.I'm not sure how I feel about this, but if it's going to happen, I hope as many queer/PoC/both polyam folks vote as possible bc this org was very very straight/white/cis last time I connected with them.Here's link the voting website for folks interested.https://www.polyamproud.com/#polyamory

1) If you are new to Fedi, do NOT dictate to those of who are long term residents what our culture should be and how things should work. I've seen this bullshit called both gentrification and digital colonization and I think both terms have merit. You are new here, be fucking respectful.2) If someone says they are done with a convo, STOP @ ing them.

Not up for writing fiction yet, but have an essay:Fantasy World Building: These Ancient Governments Are Bullshitve got a beef with a common urban fantasy trope. (Okay, I've got beefs with a lot of Urban Fantasy tropes.) But there's one that destroys my suspension of disbelief every time. Every fucking time. One thing I've never seen anyone talk about or call out.Ancient governments.https://jessmahler.com/fantasy-world-building-these-ancient-governments-are-bullshit/#fantasy #WorldBuilding #tropes

I shared an essay the other day about how Amazon is using KU to trap authors and how authors can break free:https://jessmahler.com/breaking-free-of-kindle-unlimited/What I didn't talk about was that Kindle was ALSO used as a trap-&-destroy tool for many small-medium magazines. Especially literary/genre magsI just boosted a toot from @clarkesworld , one of the longest running & most respected SFF magsAmazon is ending the Kindle subscription program, which Clarkesworld delicately describes as 'a major blow'(1/3) #books

This is not an accident. The KU author trap is not an accident. Amazon's goal has always been a monopoly on books -- publishing, selling, & readingEvery mag Amazon drives out of business with this trick is one more reader buying short fiction and short story collections from AmazonReaders: PLEASE support authors and mags that are trying to survive outside the Kindle traps. Amazon isn't your friend any more than it's oursAuthors: Support the mags that supported us for so long(2/3) #books

Health shit means I'm unable to cook or shop, and even if I could, we don't have enough money for food this month.(We don't have enough money because I've had to order fast food because couldn't cook/shop, and food stamps got cut.)$200+ would get us through the month without constantly wondering when the food is going to run out.paypal: jessicaburde@gmail.com#mutualaid
