#introductions Hi! 👋 I'm John and I'm an academic #librarian in #LosAngeles where I head up my library's outreach and engagement team. I've been working in libraries for about 15 years.
I love spending time #gardening, listening to podcasts, wine tasting (read: drinking), reading, and being with my family.
We might buy a piano soon.
I was an avid user of the bird site since 2007 but stopped posting over a year ago. I miss the community of library folk I found there. 😢
Which reminds me, I must post today’s podcast. My guest is a legally blind author who writes blind characters with agency. I am in awe! (I am vision impaired, that’s not ableist inspo pron, it’s “omg one of my tribe beat bigotry to do this awesome thing”.)
Going live now to talk with our faces about books and things! Maybe Algernon Blackwood, maybe Literary Fiction? Then we'll be playing @blacktabbygames's Scarlet Hollow in an hour!

I need to seriously reduce my time looking at screens, my eyes are virtually hurting.
What are your favourite podcasts? A bit nerdy, informative, deep dives, tech, ecology, queerfeminist discussions, Asia-Pacific.
I'm thinking in the lines of Cultures of Energy, @mel_hogan Data Fix, @parismarx Tech won't Safe Us, @emergencemagazine, Wohlstand für Alle, You're Wrong About, ... but also some format I do not have on my radar. @sts@academicchatter
New podcast episode! The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas was a hit musical, but what about the brothel it was based on? This week, we talk to Jayme Blaschke about the history of sex work in Texas, poultry as payment, and Miss Edna, the last madam of the Chicken Ranch.
Slightly shorter one tonight, but rest assured Charles Dickens still has Aplenty more Tale to tell you Of these Two Cities, so head on over to https://www.twitch.tv/chilliteracy in 10 minutes and have yourself a cosy evening
This week I talk to Kaytlin Bailey, host of The Oldest Profession Podcast, about the American Plan, under which tens of thousands of women were detained based on their perceived ability to spread VD, all in the name of protecting American soldiers.

Katya de Becerra and I spoke with James Roberts on Melbourne's Joy FM Spoken Word podcast - all about the new horror anthology This Fresh Hell, editing, writing, books, tropes, and many more subjects! We had such a great talk it went for 105 minutes! Listen here!
On the @fictionable#podcast we talk fiction, autobiography and colourful language with Donal McLaughlin – an author who insists he is not his character.
19th century France was a “nation on drugs.” This week, we talk to Dr Sara Black about the rise of Opium, Morphine, Cocaine, Ether, Chloroform, and Hashish, and how they were normalized until they were used by most of the country.
Anybody have recs for single-author science fiction and/or fantasy/paranormal short story collections? I'm especially interested in marginalized authors.
My faves so far:
'Nathan Burgoine's Of Echoes Born (paranormal)
Zen Cho's Spirits Abroad (fantasy/paranormal)
Iona Datt Sharma's Not For Use In Navigation (mix of science fiction and fantasy)
