Hi Bluesky, we're EAR•WAX Magazine and we're coming soon to build community over all things ears. Hope you follow and listen along with us. More soon!

Aside from the fact some people actually wear masks when they’re sick out of consideration for others, let’s take a moment for the guy who presumably spent half an hour on elaborate, mostly pointless TSA theater to get inside an airport, but thinks a person in a mask has succumbed to paranoia.

New — I talked with @katmabu.bsky.social the morning after a judge dismissed all charges against her and her co-defendants thanks to extreme government fuckery about what comes next, the crazy rumor mill and setting a precedent for telling ICE to fuck off. Our convo here:

It only takes a few minutes to tell the FCC that this sucks

Me and the homies all googling methyl methacrylate

Oh my fucking god I thought they made this up. They did not. I just tried it myself

Apparently someone is impersonating me on discord and scamming money off people, which forces me to clarify that while I have an account for work purposes, I can barely use discord, it baffles and alarms me, so if you ever receive an unprompted discord message from me you probably didn’t

There's still time to nab digital tickets for TAFCON! Watch our Main Stage LIVE and get the recordings after! www.eventbrite.com/e/tafcon-dig...

One of the best things you can do as an adult is realize that you didn’t actually have to stop drawing, coloring, painting, playing with clay, doing whatever else you loved as a kid. Even if you’re bad at it. Maybe especially if you’re bad at it

the fuck it will

The audacity to come into my HOUSE (discord sever) and ask for AI Asset Technicians in my opportunities channel. Sir! SIR!

Please, my fellow queer creatives. Do not discount every single book you have ever put out to $0.99 or free. Do not cut your commission prices down by 70%. Do not make your album just $1. Do not make your video game $1. I understand the urge. I understand the feeling of doing it "for the cause"

Since the announcement of our union, Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro have hired Fisher Phillips (a union avoidance firm), and chosen to engage in a daily union-avoidance campaign by sending emails to the Arena team that is spreading misinformation and sowing fear among our colleagues. #uwotc-cwa

Just a little PSA- Neil Gaiman has reactivated his Bluesky account. Because he deactivated before a lot of people could unfollow him, and/or because Bluesky doesn’t remove you from a person’s followers when you block them, a LOT of you are still publicly listed as following him. You should check.

I would love ✨Black TTRPG creators✨ who: - Would like to read over something - Loves giving soulful feedback - Who has a love for game mechanics - Loves they grandma/granny Non-Black people can DM me as well, but the focus will be a bit different! Hit me up either on here or Discord 🙏🏾🖤✨

My book is out! It's got everything I know about making audio drama! Thinking about dipping your toes into fiction podcasting? You should! Get my book at: talminear.com#howtomakeaud... (ebook is only $7 cause it want it to be accessible)

Is there anything anyone would like to know about writing for audio drama, IP, horror, or indie/self publishing that I can address in my tips/tricks video series?

Anticrastination launches May 25th! The show is funny and heartfelt and full of podcasting satire (with an unexpected twist!) Please share this with everyone you know. You can get more information at anticrastination.fyi. #audiodrama #audiofiction #comedy #podcast #fiction #procrastination

Get ready for TAFCON! Check out the schedule at audiofictioncon.com#schedule - there's so much to do June 14! Plan ahead!

If your book has an AI cover I am NOT reading your shit

This book is so good. If I could time travel, I would give this to myself ten years ago when I was first trying to get into audio drama. Just a *phenomenal* guide. Thank you, Tal, for making a book and sharing your wisdom with the world!!!

FYI: If your plan as a business is to deliberately, massively underpay writers, actors and use generative AI in your audio drama, I will not ever work with you. Apart from all of the profound ethical concerns, it is not worth the reputational damage to myself and my career. Good luck elsewhere.

Warning! You might see posts in the wild claiming "Hogwarts Legacy is free right now!" but this is malware, if you try and run it, it'll install Hogwarts Legacy on your PC.

Is this how you do book promo idk talminear.com#howtomakeaud...

It's been exactly a year since the release of my self-published book of short stories. It would mean the world if you would consider picking it up and having a look - leave a review if you can! It's just me here, without an agent or marketing help, and I'm still so proud of how this came out.

Hi there! Id you play TTRPGs and want to help out someone writing a bachelor's thesis about identity and gender in said TTRPGs, I'd be thankful if you answered my survey :] forms.gle/bYrJwQkPqxCr... Please share so I can get the biggest possible pool of answers!

If anyone doing this is looking for a Voice Actor, I would love to contribute! I'm a Hispanic, trans VA with years of professional experience, and I'm always looking to support more queer projects. Drop me a line! I'd love to work together. ✉️: [email protected] josiesumner.carrd.co

The other day a "journalist" reached out to me via email for a media request and copied my mom. He went out of his way to find my mother's email to cc her on his media request!!! What!!!!

Sidequesting won Best Performance (in a fantasy/sci-fi audio fiction) at BNMWF! I put a lot of myself into this show so it's always really meaningful to me when it wins anything 🥰
