Hi from a Blind audiobook listener.

Hi all! I’m an author. I write Disability focused romance, and books that deal with human relationships including friendship fiction for the MG crowd. I listen to more audiobooks than most Blind people. I read mostly in my genre for work related stuff but my pleasure genres are YA, MG, Fantasy, and a little bit of science fiction. I’ve been pulling away from scifi personally because it’s all becoming to meta for me, especially in this current tech climate we live in.

I used to devalue romance. Like, a lot! Read this for more. https://robertkingett.com/2023/03/03/thank-you-romance-writers/

I always strive to make audio versions of my books and I am very happy to be here!

    @gabe Oh! I used a CW over here so that my Mastodon readers could skip a wall of text if they wanted to. In the future, should I refrain from putting a CW on my side? Will it mark everything with a CW as NSFW? I guess that kind of makes sense from a development standpoint but they really did, I think, use some incorrect ActivityPub specs in mismatched places! :) But as to your question, yes. It is one of 2 blindness instances over here. I am on one, but the Dragons Cave is another instance. Both run on Hometown, not vinella Mastodon. While I personally like KBin’s front end better, it doesn’t federate outside of Reddit clones yet, so I’m stuck interacting with Lemmy communities for now!

      Yeah, CW’s do mark automatically as NSFW I presume. It’s strange and frustrating.
