I need a book rec.
I'm looking for found family, smart writing, diversity, and a happy ending. Any genre will do, just give me an escape hatch from my current worries.
A Ray Bradbury Night in Symphony Space in NYC on November 1st. And I'm so happy to be hosting a night of Bradbury stories. Three amazing readers and me. Come and listen.
@alepiad@FediFollows can be great for discovery, for general tech content @malwaretech, @arstechnica, @GossiTheDog, and @shanselman all pop up for me regularly with interesting posts. There are also "group" accounts like @philosophy that automatically share any posts from their members, discovering those allowed me to see a lot of interesting discussions without needing to follow a whole lot of people!
In the shadow of Kim Jong Il's oppressive regime, of courage and musical defiance emerges. This dramatic escape saga from North Korea unfolds with the vivid pages of a scorebook, echoing the symphony of resistance composed by an unsung hero. In this symphony, notes and melodies became the weapons of choice, challenging the iron grip of the North Korean dictator.
The composer's name remains unknown to the world, a silent tribute to the sacrifices made in the pursuit of freedom and artistic expression. Their life, like the crescendo of a symphony, swelled with passion and purpose. With each note penned, they risked everything to resist the order of Kim Jong Il and inspire hope among their fellow citizens.
This captivating narrative reminds us of the power of art to transcend borders and break the chains of oppression. It's a testament to the indomitable human spirit, symbolizing the universal yearning for freedom and the lengths one is willing to go to protect it.
As we celebrate the indelible impact of this nameless composer, we are reminded that even in the darkest of times, the language of music can resonate as a beacon of hope, a testament to the unyielding power of the human spirit, and a symbol of resilience against tyranny.
Menschen, der Verlag braucht Soli, mir zieht gerade eine Steuernachzahlung das letzte bisschen Boden weg. Bitte gönnt euch, wenn ihr noch ein paar Euro locker habt, was im Verlagsshop und macht auf allen Plattformen Werbung. Würden mehr Menschen etwas vom Frohmann Verlag mitbekommen, könnte er vermutlich ohne solche Hilferufe existieren – das ewige Indieproblem.
@Frohmann vielleicht magst du noch #bookstodon@bookstodon und #bookbubble nachsetzen, auch wenn da viele englischsprachige sind, erreicht es doch auch deutsche Bücherwürmer

Kleiner Tipp, wenn es sich um Gewerbesteuer handeln sollte, Stundungsantrag bei der Stadtverwaltung stellen. Die sind normalerweise zugänglicher als das Finanzamt. Wobei man beim Finanzamt den Antrag ebenfalls stellen kann. Die meinen nur immer, sie sitzen am längeren Hebel.
'Vijf miljoen scans uit het archief van de VOC zijn sinds deze maand digitaal leesbaar. Ze kunnen nu worden doorzocht op beladen onderwerpen als slavernij en koloniaal geweld, wat kan leiden tot nieuwe perspectieven op het koloniale verleden'

Our latest guest post by Media Cymru fellow Shirish Kulkarni explores the cultural changes needed in journalism, and how we can give audiences more value by finding ways to tell different stories, in different ways
@BBC_News_Labs One problem everybody is certainly struggling with is how to deal with the flood of information.
I think the big social media sites play a detrimental role in news writing & dissemination, because they force you to post frequently and with attention-grabbing headlines (preferably ones that make people angry) in order to feed "the algorithm".
I think Mastodon and the Fediverse can be a chance for change here too, because you can post as seldomly as you like and still be seen.
I know I'm late to the party, they always did say I was a late bloomer and all, but Good Omens is really really good. I always did like Neil Gaiman's writing but it's another thing to binge watch season 1 of #GoodOmens. I mean the binge part was easy as I could not stop and now, here, after the finale I really have to see how a season 2 can be a thing right?
Mainly tip on the hat good sir, fantastic story. @neilhimself 👏👏🎩
(I know now I'm the one putting #hashtags in line, I'm a monster)
@neilhimself@s1m0n4@JustBrogrammer Hey Neil, any thoughts about Amazon Prime Video doing a bait-and-switch, by announcing that even customers that have already paid annually for their service will find what they watch - such as Good Omens and Good Omens 2 - interspersed with ads?!
Did Amazon give you a heads up on their plans to insert advertising in the middle of your stories as soon as early next year?!
#AllStarTrek I love me some #StarTrek but for Pity's sake, #Worf and #Dax are of two separate species from completely different biospheres. How the heck are they supposed to successfully mate? It's ridiculous!
