Hi! I'm Ellen: totally blind, asexual, enby girl*. I love nature, cats, books, languages, meeting people in other countries, classical music, knitting, role-playing games. For work I test websites for accessibility. I'm some kind of neuro-spicy.

*amount of girl varies. Prefer they/them/-e, but she/her/-a is acceptable too. May try neopronouns in the future.

@bookstodon folks, do you listen to audiobooks? If so:

  • Do you have favorite narrators? Or the opposite? Ever started or quit listening to something because of the voice?
  • if you’re talking about a book, do you say you’ve read it?

starry1086,

@dbsalk @lunalein @bookstodon Yes. Listening to an audiobook is reading, and to think otherwise is ableist. I've read tons of books this way throughout my life as a blind person.

@bookstodon Good morning. I remember reading sometime in the past year that BookDepository (can ship books anywhere in the world) was shutting down. Two questions: a. is this true, and b. is there another way I, in the States, could send a hard copy book to another country without going through Amazon? Thanks.

starry1086,

@patchworkbunny @gwendolenau @bookstodon Wonderful. Thank you for the info.

@consumableJoy The WIP that stands out in my mind is 13 years old. I started it back in 2010 when I was working a temporary summer job in a chilly office, so wanted a professional-ish jacket. The pattern I found called for Lionbrand homespun (and had a knit-purl pattern! why?), which in my experience is extremely splitty. I know all I have to do on it is the finishing edge, but I almost feel like remaking it with "better" yarn so I can enjoy the pattern as I make it.
