Heartglass: A Modern Mythology

An audio fiction podcast about love, loss & giving 'em hell.

Now, I might be biased because I'm part of this show, but I've gotten a peek at the epic story, fantastic music, and lush sound design at work here, and this show is going to be really special. I play Allan Coleman, one of three people killed in a supernatural incident, who now spends his afterlife working at an ice cream shop in Hell. Allan is a trans man who is trying his damnedest to just have a normal one, despite the circumstances. I love these characters, and I've had so much fun already with lending my voice to Allan.

The campaign still has a ways to go to meet its goal by Feb. 28. Please consider helping to bring Heartglass to life!

Don’t return ebooks or audiobooks you’ve consumed on Amazon and Audible

Amazon and Audible made it into their policy that you can return ebooks and audiobooks and get a full refund.

They actively promote this, making their book shop into a book lending service, de facto a library you subscribe to. That’s their business plan to encourage subscribtions.

The dirty thing, however, is that Amazon and Audible are making the authors pay for each refunded item. They will detract money, income, royalties, from the authors’ account. They’re not hurting from the refund, the author is.

Look, no-one is saying you’re not allowed to return an item if you’ve read the first 50 pages or listened to the first 45 minutes. Maybe the style is not your thing. Maybe you don’t like the narrator’s voice. Maybe the quality of the writing drops severely after chapter three. Go ahead, if the product is bad, return it.

What I’m talking about is that no one should be able to listen to a ten-hour audiobook or read through nearly an entire novel and still get a refund.

Most of the readers don’t know who’s paying for this business plan. It’s not Amazon and Audible, they’re still keeping your subscription money. It’s the authors.

Spread the word.

did you guys see the poem from a couple of days ago in poetry dot org’s daily poem it was so good and a treat to read 

Reminder that when you're driving and there's weather like fog, snow, or rain, turn your headlights on. It doesn't help you to see better, no, but it does help other cars to see you, preventing accidental collisions from literally just not seeing another car.

This goes for everyone but especially "neutral" colored cars like gray, silver, white, black, and even just dark colors like dark blue. Cars with those colors blend into the road whenever visibility is low. Turn your headlights on. Let other cars know where you are.

Hey! This has nothing to do with that I normally post but it's been bothering me since the news came out.

As you may know HBO max is removing many of their animated series for taxes write offs. Which basically is leaving them attempting to scrub these wonderful shows off of the internet.

As a creative myself I couldn't imagine have something that a me and my team have spent so much love and time on just to have a big corporation treat this work as nothing but means to make money. So please if any of these shows interest you watch them while you can and please show some love for those behind them.

Many in the animation industry have had to fight to get their stories out there.

I will also say piracy is in my eyes completely moral if the media in question has no way to purchase legally even those behind these shows are supporting illegally watching their shows. (Here's Owen Dennis, creator of Infinity Train twitter bio after this news.)

I do also recommend if you can to support those shows that are still available on other platforms if you are able!!!

I know this may not being impossible to my followers but I can't really put into words how devastating this is. Don't let corporations get awake with this blatant disrespect towards amazing people and their visions.
