    I wanted to see a tired typo in her email from a hard days work. I wanted her to mix up my age. I wanted to see the imperfections in the tired as fuck email because the fact she still wrote to me, even though she was tired and would’ve wrote down my incorrect age, the fact that she thought about me enough to craft something personal would have made everything worth it. @MBM

    @inb4_FoundTheVegan Thank you! The truly sad thing is, because I know LLM’s so well, I even think I know the exact prompt she used. There was another person that said, well, she didn’t make it a generic thing. She put in her prompt that you were a writer. It doesn’t make it thoughtful. Thank you though for Yoyr happy Bday wish! I also came across this after so mine. Very similar https://mrgan.com/ai-email-from-a-friend/

    I’m trying [@librewolf](https://lemmy.ml/c/librewolf) browser and it might seem like a small thing to you all, but they went out of their way to preserve accessibility features for disabled users like myself, whereas other privacy solutions remove accessibility features completely, and their efforts to make sure disabled users have a private focused but accessible browser is more welcome than you can imagine because disabled people need privacy as well. I would argue that disabled people need privacy more.

    A Guy Walks into My Bar Audiobook recommendation.

    A Guy Walks into My Bar Audiobook recommendation. Before I start, this is an M/M romance. One of the most wonderful British male narrators I’ve ever heard. His name is Shane east. I don’t know his ethnicity, but I was immediately swept up by him reading of one of the characters. This audiobook is a duet narration. This means that multiple readers are reading the dialogue of characters. It is not an audio drama or a full cast recording but I just love the male British narrator Shane East [https://www.audible.com/pd/B08BTLV158?source\_code=ASSORAP0511160006&share\_location=pdp](https://www.audible.com/pd/B08BTLV158?source_code=ASSORAP0511160006&share_location=pdp) [\#Audiobooks](https://tweesecake.social/tags/Audiobooks) [@audiobooks@literature.cafe](https://literature.cafe/c/audiobooks) [@audiobooks@a.gup.pe](https://a.gup.pe/u/audiobooks)

    Found a neat little program that will compile, split, merge, and rename chapters in fiction all with the keyboard. Some commands conflict with screen readers so I suggest not using this program for reviewing your writing, but for compiling. It was designed to be keyboard exclusive and is at least 70% accessible, with some dialogs not reading unless in browse mode. warewoolf.

    Hi [@disability](https://beehaw.org/c/disability) I am a Blind writer. I write mostly romance because Disabled people should have happily ever afters too! I moved to the Fedi long before the migrations started happening around big socials and I've contributed a few things, along with others in this space, to help make these spaces a bit more accessible for all, but especially screen reader users because that is my lived experience. I believe in the social model of Disability and I am tired all day long. Still, I hang out a lot in RomanceLandia because I feel it is the best way to understand people, is through their romantic fantasies and wish fulfilments and dreams and desires. I run a blog and keep up with my blog and mailing list the most.
