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.

The most infuriating thing to me is when a marketing executive, that has never used a screen reader a day in their life, fights me back on a comprehensive accessibility report they asked me to do. I provided logs. I provided video. I provided version numbers for everything. and they fight me and say we can’t reproduce anything in the video. Could you send over a screenshot of the NVDA settings you have, and also, have you tried tabbing? What version of NVDA are you using, as if they are the expert and I am not. I want to write back, downloading a screen reader for a day does not make you an expert. No sir, and never tell me to send a screenshot again, or I will triple my invoice. #Accessibility #Rant
I am a blind writer. Typically, I write Romance. I write it not as a guilty pleasure, but as a survival manual. In a world that tells disabled people we are burdens, Romance is the only genre that insists we are worthy of worship. It is a political act to write a story where safety is the ultimate kink. #Romance #RomanceLandia #RomanceReaders #Blog #Blogging #IndieWeb
I recently ordered toothpaste from Walgreens. Tonight, about a week later, I received an email from Walgreens letting me know that I did not review my product, would I like to review it? I sat there laughing for 20 minutes, sat straight up, and then sincerely looked off into the distance and told myself, that’s it. I’m gonna write a 500 word review of toothpaste and somehow make it interesting and tie it into surveillance capitalism in 2026. I think 2026 is gonna be an interesting year for the blog. #Humor
Hey Fedi I recommend books at the end of all my blog posts but I would love to recommend some more Fedi authors. Put your DRM Free link below if you don’t have an audiobook link. I listen to audiobooks exclusively and only get DRM free Ebooks. If you have audiobooks, put them in the replies. #Author #Writer #Books @npub1q60z...kp90
