Anyone who is blind, or who has worked with the blind, knows how expensive our technology can be. This couldn't be more true with relation to braille displays. Even the cheapest costs at least $799, and it's already behind the newest in that line, at $899. This is the Orbit Reader 20 and 20+. Now, a student in India wants to change that by creating a display that is truly affordable (under $50)! Please pass this on, so that we can give him greater recognition within the blind community. Even if it costs a bit more than he initially suspected it would, there is no excuse for the $2,000 to $5,000 average price of such technology when cheaper alternatives can be designed! He is determined to bring this to market, so let's help him do it and show our appreciation for his hard work on this life-changing project!

I love to read and every once in a while, I find a book that I cannot put down, no matter what is happening around me. For those of you who have ever been lucky enough to encounter this transcendent state of being, this drawing is for you! :-) Imagine curled up in your favorite comfy chair, with a hot cup of tea and plate of delicious cookies nearby. All of your "friends" surround you and you have found that peaceful space, entranced with the story before you.

On a muted dark green watercolor wash, a detailed pencil/graphite drawing of a young girl staring avidly at an open book. She is seated in a chair and surrounded by all kinds of creatures, including a turtle, rabbit, owl, alligator, snake, fish and bird. Next to her on a small table, a cup of steaming tea and a plate of cookies.

The Free People’s Village is one of the most punk rock books I’ve ever read! Just look at this gorgeous cover 🥰
Spec Fic (alternative timeline), activism, music, love, and young people trying to change the world.
It was more tragic than I expected but hopeful in the end.

The book is strongly anti-capitalist and anti-colonial with an emphasis on community, activism and direct action. Lots of LGBTQ+ characters.

Book cover of The Free People’s Village by Sim Kern. Red background, a badass looking person with an irokez in the top left corner smashing a robotic dog with a bat.

Come listen to another gentle reading in the succubard's libary~ :eevee_joy:

[The Oblivion Crisis]
youtube.com/watch?v=s3uRKofYNz

Today, we're reading about the Oblivion Crisis, which were the events that took place during The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. This is a perfect book to read after yesterday's On Oblivion for reasons you'll figure out once you listen to it :bugcat_nod:

This book is available in TESV: Skyrim, which makes sense. It was written between Oblivion and Skyrim, with details that would be known to the Hero of Kvatch, but not to a historian trying to put the events together afterwards without access to them :zerotwo_learn:

Oh, and I also adjusted some things and I'm more expressive than ever :shiba_love:

As always, tell me what you liked, what you didn't like, and maybe even what you want me to read next :hug_love:

A vtuber with black hair tied in two two low buns, with a dark grey and blue outfit. She stands within a cozy library with a fire in the fireplace, bookshelves crammed with books, and a large window spanning from the floor to nearly the ceiling. Text in the left half of frame reads "The Oblivion Crisis"
