Did You Know I've Been Serialising A Story In My Newsletter For Nearly A Year?
Did you know I've been serialising a story in my newsletter for nearly a year?
A Net Too Wide To Break His Fall is about Callum, who is invisible and inaudible and essentially nonexistent to anyone he hasn't been introduced to.
You might think that wouldn't be too big an issue but the boy is also extremely bad at maintaining close relationships with the people he knows (ie the ones capable of introducing him to new people)
Basically imagine if letting your friendships and family relationships lapse led to you functionally becoming a ghost.
Callum's solution to this is to get involved in organised crime and then almost immediately decide to turn coat, which has led to the situation he's currently in.
Latest chapter in the reblog, all previous chapters collected here:
Ready: The first renewables course
It's the latest Ready edition of the Foggy Outline newsletter, Ready & Waiting! With:
💨 A brand new Udemy course with answers to common questions about renewables, like "are they actually unreliable?" and "why should some countries have to rely on renewables when others built themselves on fossil fuels?"
☀️ Where to find us this summer

Sound design for I Need A Miracle is by Sarah Buchynski
Sarah is the power behind Polarity Audio Works: a post-production house that understands the power of audio storytelling and is passionate about creating immersive stories.
You might recognise Sarah and Polarity from such illustrious credits as Kalila Stormfire's Economical Magick Services, Counterbalance, White Vault: Artifact and White Vault: Acquisition.
@merelymatt says, this show creates its setting in glimpses and snapshots, but with Sarah on board, every out-of-focus glimpse and passing scene is a fully realised world with depth you can sink into. Listen out for how her design subtly and simply sets the rules – and more importantly, the feel – of a world where the miraculous is mundane.
Do any audio drama folks here have experience of monetizing with Apollo? I approached through the contact form on their website, where it says they try to get back in 2-3 days; been a couple of weeks and nothing back yet. Just trying to get a sense of how worthwhile it'll be to chase them up (and whether slow responses/not delivering on what they say they'll do is normal or unusual)
a lot of people are talking about the state of trans rights in the uk again on my dash today and it's just occurred to me, people outside of wales probably aren't aware of probably the most well known grassroots mutual aid group for trans people here in wales, trans aid cymru. run by trans people for trans people they run social groups and give grants and help with housing and loads of stuff, i had free counselling sessions through them last year, and they have a map of trans friendly GPs project that's really helpful. they really make such a difference for trans people here and if you are trans in wales and don't know about them i super recommend investigating and if you want to donate to something that makes a material, on the ground difference to trans lives rather than a bigger charity you should definitely consider them!
learning that people want you in their lives is a skill you can develop if it does not come naturally
