Narrating the Zhuangzi for the National Library Service, definitely the most complex a d difficult narration I've ever attempted. Need a lot of digital assistance to get all the info in front of my face.

The hell did I see walking around Denver this morning?

It's the weekend, which means it's time for @svandoren.bsky.social to guide you through a fantasy world where democratic governments use their power to curbstomp fascists

Oh boy. Perhaps my tone needs adjustment.

Saw a pair of what I like to call Flying Terries out on our walk this morning. Cc @telthetrekkie.bsky.social

Y'all really need to stop using grok (and all the other ai image generators), ignorance of the ecological and sociological harm isn't reasonable anymore.

While it is criminal that we've not got a Season 6 in our near future for Star Trek Lower Decks, @mikemcmahan.bsky.social gave us, with Season 5, the most wonderful love letter to the Star Trek I could have imagined. This finale was gorgeous. 🖖

As a new Federation government grasps with the consequences of social and constitutional reform, the Klingon Empire enters a new, dangerous phase of political violence. PART ONE OF CHAPTER 16 OF THE AUDIOBOOK IS AVAILABLE NOW

Time to enjoy a favorite of mine, cracking open an old bald. Cc @telthetrekkie.bsky.social

If you're not aware (because I took March through now off from projects), the @eomproject.bsky.social audiobook is back in production and episodes are fast catching up with the written word. Great #StarTrek storytelling and world building here, don't miss out! creators.spotify.com/pod/show/edg...

In general, I think we overdid it with the "anyone can write a book" encouragement. We need to over-correct and make writing a musty, arcane thing again. Robes. Dust. Quills. Cantankerous & unstable tower-dwellers. Artists.

the "Gates of Hades" should rhyme.

Oh. Of course. It's not an infection, my dog just has smegma. Huh. #dogsofbluesky

Love researching how to pronounce the Klingon names of economic features. Fortunately this chapter only includes "gagh'ghlH pa'rup" half a dozen times.

Ever had an otherwise decent, lovely book be ruined by the author's note at the end? I hadn't until today.

Get to narrate a Guillermo del Toro series next at the Library, and couldn't be more thrilled.

Big day for people who can only tolerate my scribblings when @svandoren.bsky.social reads them with the authority of an Anthony Beevor book

Christ, @eomproject.bsky.social, you call this ONE chapter? It's an endurance sport with you, obviously. Anyway, one down (and being processed); three (!) to go. Thanks to everyone who has pestered him (or me) about the audiobook's status.

Sagan is a winter snow baby. Caught him catching snowflakes on his big warm tongue. #dogsofbluesky

I mark 45 years in this life today, and I'll admit, this was my real birthday present. Sagan is a very different personality from Cahir, but I've already determined if he asked me to, I would do truly unfathomable things. Look at dose eyes.....daaaaaaawwww #dogsofbluesky

Sagan is just so picturesque. #dogsofbluesky

Meet Sagan. #dogsofbluesky I just came home from the shelter with this beautiful guy. He keeps licking the tears of joy off my face.

I'm in the middle of narrating the novelization (!) of Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, and must say it really has some very amusing bits. Recommend it to any fans of the original film, for sure. Recently written, so it's been, erm, narratively enhanced through hindsight.

Well I guess I'm the only one, but, while I was impressed with the tech of the output, the stubborn insistence of all Star Trek properties looking to ~1964 (or Section 31) for all their source material to regurgitate for our distended bellies may finally be turning me off to Trek.

So, because my heart yearns for connection, I've begun browsing the nearest shelter, and I've come across this beauty, who has been there for almost a month, and it just boggles the mind. She's a Catahoula Leopard Hound, a breed I'd never heard of. Might have to meet her next week. #DogsOfBlueSky

It's amazing what time does. It grays the face but needn't dim the brightness of our eyes. My first and last photos of my dear sweet Cahir. Looking at these two photos next to each other brings enormous love and pride to my heart. He was the most amazing companion.

STOP. USING. “FELON”. AS. AN. INSULT

I miss my boy so much this morning. Anyone got a particularly wonderful pic of you and your furry sidekick doing what you love to do together? Feeling very alone today.

Oooh, the Lower Decks mobile game has Berman's number

I’ve been guilty of this so I’m not saying I’m perfect, but I can’t emphasize this enough - we need to stop centering right wing talking points. We get through the next few years by remembering what we are fighting for - each other. Use that energy to fight through the assholes to build and survive.

I miss my dog so much this morning. It was always our time, because I get up absurdly early and don't start work until hours and hours later. He'd get his morning treat while I made coffee and had morning ablutions, then outside for potty patrol, back in for breakfast together, then walks,

I had to say goodbye to my baby today. I'll never forget him.

My poor puppy is having a rough day so far. Lymph swelling is up, current prednisone dosage clearly unable to keep up with the lymphoma. I've emailed his veterinary oncologist, who doesn't work until Monday, for advice. I fear the coming days are going to break me somehow.

Today, among the dreadful news across the US, Denver got a good snow, and so my baby has gotten some good playtime out there. Treatment hasn't been the best, but it also hasn't been the worst. He's had nearly no adverse reactions to medications, just limited effectiveness. Happy boy, though.

Cahir has lymphoma. He's my sweet boy, he's only six, this shouldn't happen to such a good boy. Gonna try to get him another 6-8 months but I'm scraping by as it is. He's always loved playing the snow, and this summer has been brutal. I'm gonna fight so he can have one more winter. ❤️

the final fifteen seconds of this animation are the funniest fifteen seconds ever assembled. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFOg...

Now that the season is upon us, I recommend you set aside an hour to enjoy the classic tale, The Call of Cthulhu, as narrated by yours truly. Do enjoy, drop a like & comment if you'd like to help my algorithm performance; and subscribe if you'd like more! www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwLk...

I think I just fucking hate social media.

THE SENATE HAS DECREED A DAY OF MOURNING FOR SENATOR DIANE EMIEL FEINSTEIN, AND ANNOUNCES THAT HER STAFF SHALL BE EXECUTED AD GLADIUM IN THE COLISEUM FOR THEIR CRIMES. BREAD FOR THE OCCASION HAS BEEN PROVIDED BY THE MILLER'S GUILD. TRUE ROMAN BREAD FOR TRUE ROMANS.

I've got a new Star Trek Video-Audiobook chapter of the Arsenal of Freedom, volume two of the Edge of Midnight. Really enjoyed putting this together; my first 4K HD video, which seems odd for an audiobook. Complete with author's notes! www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEi-...

I presented a show last night to this house, and holy crap that was amazing. Never had such a big room fill up with my voice. Exhilarating

I’ve never been the same since I realized Rhode Island is just Indiana after the Snap

Older movies didn't shy away from making a scene horny as fuck even when it really shouldn't have been probably

For the last July #TrekTuesday, here's the prologue to the exciting second book of the Edge of Midnight: The Arsenal of Freedom. An interesting look at how Federation Day has played out in years (future) past...

Well, it seems that I've found a genre (~15 minute psychological horror) that seems to have some resonance with YouTube. Would love for you to check out my new video-audiobook, H.P. Lovecraft's "Dagon"

Two short video-audiobooks coming up in the next week! Subscribe so you don't miss out! - Friday has me dipping my toe for the first time into the horror mythos of H.P. Lovecraft - TrekTuesday brings the prologue to the second book in the Edge of Midnight series, The Arsenal of Freedom.

It is impossible to say "pâté dough" without sounding like you're saying "potato" weirdly.

I just don't understand anyone who doesn't love this show. It's just so adorable. Star Trek: Prodigy really does deserve a home for its second season.

I like it here and I don’t think a mega corp Twitter clone can kill spaces like these. There is a high level of original thought and engagement, people care about each other and maintain a strong space minimizing bad faith, harassment, and disinfo, which lets people be themselves & build community

Hey everyone, stop driving so much, we need the planet for somethin
