@Fragglemuppet Enjoying it so far, though some of the new voices are taking getting used to, particularly Kermit. Were you able to get it with audio description? Was hoping ABC would have it, but if they do it's not working on YouTube TV.

@Fragglemuppet Planning on watching it tonight. Reviews I've read have been positive so I'm optimistic.

@Fragglemuppet not wrong at all. those are the only versions I've seen in their entirety, though I also saw the musical version that used to play at Madison Square Garden every year. think they filmed it for TV once.

@Fragglemuppet nice. I applied to Fordham, really liked it but didn't get in. I got rejected by Loyola too so I joked that the Jesuits didn't like me. lol My brother ended up at Manhattan College, he liked it but don't think I'd've done well there with all those hills.

@Fragglemuppet oh cool. did you grow up around the Fordham area?

@Fragglemuppet omg, same in my family. that was a Sunday tradition when I was a kid, and occasionally still is. loved the Irish news and sports at 2. then sometimes you'd leave the radio on too long and end up with German music for a while. lol

@Fragglemuppet I like my name, though it gets misspelled or mispronounced all the time. The best thing about it is that my first and last names both have five letters in them, I enjoy the symmetry. Also grateful UEB kept the ER contraction, would be so weird reading my name in Braille without it.

To everyone adding alt-text to your posts so #NoKings signs and pics can be #Accessible to all, thanks on behalf of the #Blind community. Even a little thing like that is an act of love and resistance. And I'm personally loving all the descriptions of random costumed protesters. Bravo!

Another question for my fellow #Blind folks: does anyone use the #Kobo app? I thought I'd try it since a lot of authors I like seem to prefer it to Amazon and Kobo+ Reads is $2 cheaper a month than KU. The #iOS app looks pretty accessible, but unlike with #Kindle it doesn't seem like you can read continuously with #VoiceOver, so not sure it's the best option for me. You can also listen to #AudioBooks in the app, haven't tried that yet.

2. Cursed Under London by Gabby Hutchinson Crouch Set in Elizabethan times, but with a whole society of the undead and other magical creatures living alongside regular humans. Our two protagonists and their ragtag band of magical misfits are on a quest to find out who cursed them, but things quickly get more complicated. Breezy, funny, surprisingly dark towards the end, and with an m/m grumpy/sunshine couple that don't end up together, yet. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/205462308 #2025Reads

I love posting about #Books on here, and I promise that thread of faves from 2024 is coming, but I figured I'd start one for 2025 too, which I'll update as I go. I'm also on Goodreads, so feel free to follow me there: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/1568820 And now, #2025Reads

200 years ago, a #Blind French teenager took six little dots and opened up the world of literacy for himself and generations to come. Merci Louis. Without the code that bears your name, I wouldn't have gotten through school or found success at work. I definitely wouldn't love to read as much as I do. #Braille is independence, dignity, resourcefulness, pride. #Braille is beautiful!! Happy #WorldBrailleDay

@Fragglemuppet Oops, sorry about that, sent to the wrong person.

@Fragglemuppet Your shoes are different colors. Yes, this has happened to me. Moral of the story: don't buy the same style of boot in both black and brown.

Today I learned Christian EDM is a thing. It's basically regular worship songs over a DJ beat with various electronic effects, and it's as excruciating as it sounds. Had to endure 45 straight minutes of it on my ride home. Will never complain about drivers blasting country or metal on the bus again. Hell, even the Christian pop on KLOVE would've been better than that remixed crap.
