My guilty media pleasure is fresh out of water drama stories. Usually poor people goes to rich town/house/cul-de-sac/whatever and they teach each other about life and actually caring about others and so on and so forth. My recent fascination is with the fish out of water TV show remake of Bel-Air. I actually sort of kind of like it more than the 1990s comedy show called the fresh Prince of Bel-Air. The end of episode one is having me roll my eyes a little bit because clearly the uncle doesn’t understand what Will goes through but hopefully it grounds itself soon. #TV#Fiction
This will have links in it because I am using my website more and more these days.
I've been here in the Fedi since 2017. You can listen to an interview at the link below.
I am a totally blind man and I've contributed a lot of my free time and labor to improving Fediverse spaces, including, but not limited to, documentation. Software design, non-code contributions, community based disability solutions.
I'm a blind and gay writer. I keep a blog. I call it my soul on the internet because you won’t get the same thing every time. I write huge rants. I write short narrative stories about eating ice cream like it's the first time I'm having an orgasm. I write lyrical musings about crying in the shower. I pen essays about battling with a smart fridge. You'll never get just one thing with me and my website.
As for fiction, I write M/M Romance featuring blind and or disabled people, because disabled people deserve happy endings too. My romances generally always have a HEA instead of an HFN. I'm not the best with series. I also tend to enjoy doing novellas rather than full length novels, but I do novels as well. It's just that novellas are my comfort zone.
My Romances are quite angsty. They ask a lot of questions of the reader, and they feature things I'm extremely proud of, like in my young adult Romances I feature things like supportive gay dads to a teenager. I don't shy away from potentially triggering subjects because it mirrors my own life.
That being said, if you don't like angsty Romances, I'm probably not your author but I also pen happy Romances too, like one I just finished where a Chef that's lost his sense of taste falls in love with a Blind taste tester because of a job he put out onto the internet. I love exploring dynamics such as that in a very slow, character centric, way.
My blog/website has everything about me. It's the best way to get inside of my head. I don't use video based spaces often because I'm blind so video spaces really don't interest me.
My blog is also a podcast for folks that prefer listening to reading.
Some additional things that bring me profound joy.
Boy bands. Anime. Video games. Nerd media. Cookies. Video game music. Chocolate. Ice cream. Cats. Listening to audio only let’s Plays via podcasts. Cookies. Yes, I said it twice! That's how much I love them!
I rarely wear clothes that match. I wear things for comfort. Fabrics that feel good to me.
I take extensive social media breaks, especially in the summer/fall time because that's when I'm doing events, hanging out with offline people, and terrorizing my local town.
I'm huge into local activism and local change because I believe that all local progress, especially on a mass scale, will cause national politics to buck up and maybe actually do things for its voter base.
I'm a tech geek that hates everything tech culture. I also hate everything hustle culture. Influencer culture. Bletch.
As for links, I shared some above but the only two links of mine you'll need are below but I also included an interview link below.
I disabled all notification alerts and sounds and banners for Fedi and I am amazed I did not do this sooner. I’ve disabled all of them that I use on mobile, and I’m gonna do the same thing for everything else including the mastodon website. Best decision ever.
I couldn’t care less she said she was not political. Her actions spoke louder than any verbal declaration. She would pay for trans individuals to get their surgery and more.
All these vibe coded accessible podcasting apps by blind vibers and absolutely none of them implement the kind of accessibility I'm looking for on a mobile device. Less swipes, more information. I'm getting older and thus, tired quicker. I can't be swiping like I used to. I want to, for example, land on a podcast listing, or an episode listing, wait a few seconds, and then hear the podcast description and or the episode description, given the context. #Programming
I’m a blind and gay romance writer that loves fiction podcasts, audiobooks, cookies, and cats! I follow more hashtags than people. Because I take frequent social media breaks, the best way to reach me quickly is via my website or email rather than here.
