June is #AudiobookAppreciationMonth! I'm going to highlight some #audiobooks by OTHER narrators! First, "Separation Anxiety" by Laura Zigman and narrated by fellow narrator and friend, @copatter.bsky.social! The story and Courtney's narration had me laughing one minute and crying the next!

GREYHOUND is now available in the US as an audiobook! This is thanks to the wonderful people at Soft Skull @catapultbooks.bsky.social and @tantoraudio.bsky.social It is read by Courtney Patterson @copatter.bsky.social who reads it beautifully and sensitively. What an incredible skill. (1)

Fuck ICE. ACAB. CHINGA LA MIGRA. apnews.com/article/jour...

They've got enough money to throw us into another war, but not enough money to fund the suicide prevention hotline. Very "pro-life." Very "pro-family." So "GREAT."

Look what I found when I searched "ICE uniform" in Google Shopping. None of us have any way of knowing if the "ICE agent" pushing you into a car, isn't just some unbalanced vigilante into cosplay. These are very dangerous times.

I’m going to say it. It’s time for the Braves to move past Bobby Cox. Trying to keep his acolytes in the dugout is killing us. Bobby was great but the game has changed. We need to move on.

Seems like an appropriate time for a book recommendation. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Toxicologist here! This will improve the health of zero Americans. Current synthetic food dyes are not causing health problems, and are often times used because they are actually safer than natural food dyes. Reminder that guns are the #1 cause of death of children but we are going to ban food dyes.

NEW RELEASE!! 🎧📚 @rebeccanthompson.bsky.social has given us a GORGEOUS new book, HELD TOGETHER. “This book does not seem like a book. It seems like a quilt that weaves together stories to create a treasure, and reading it is a healing…. I hung on every word.”

That is exactly true.

When Amazon launched in 1995, there were 5,500 indie bookshops in the U.S., with 7,000 locations. By May of 2023, that number had decreased to 2,185 indies & 2,599 locations. When you purchase audiobooks via Libro.fm vs. Audible, you directly support indie bookshops. Let's make that number grow ❤️

MAGA in a nutshell: "Please only viciously hurt *other* people for giggles and kicks!!!"

When a judge stops the president from doing something illegal, that’s not a “threat to democracy,” that’s a check on the president’s power. That's the whole damn point.

Take. My. Money.

This week, China found out the price for being an undermining foe is 10%. And Canada found out that the price for being a helpful friend, who helped with California's wild fires, is 15% more. Thank you, totally incompetent Donald Trump.

MADISON FUCKING KEYS!!!!!!! #australianopen

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge). You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*

In a world of Kid Rocks and Carrie Underwoods, be a Woody Guthrie.

Was just thinking about some of the abbreviations we use in my work: PDF FTP PFH ERT FRT What kind of alphabet soup do you use in your job? Or in life?

Welp. Pitchers and catchers report on my birthday....y'all. Is this the year?!?! #braves

Omgomgomgomg. It’s almost here!!

Hey algorithm, connect me with Braves fans, WNBA fans, audiobook nerds and Atlanta folks! Does that work over here?

Gotta say, it's hilarious when I run across a character named Colton and can't remember if I know them from the titles I've already narrated or if this is a brand new Colton to add to my collection.
