Dropping this here as we head into the 1st wknd of spooky season™. I’ve performed so much horror since this release, but it’s such a beauty—John FD Taff’s THE FEARING. Apocalyptic horror at its best. “This will break your heart as much as it will terrify you.” Sadie Hartmann, Cemetery Dance (1/2)

Well I missed this yesterday, but September Eleventh is also Miss Coraline’s Adoptaversary. Happy Gotcha Day, Coraline! Thirteen years ago you bounded into our apartment (looking much larger than you had outside), and we all just looked at each other. And then there were treats.

Happy book bday, @staciegrey.bsky.social! SHE HAD ENOUGH is out today from @sourcebooks.bsky.social. Set in San Francisco—my old stomping grounds—this was such fun to perform! Smart, fast, fun—go get it! @audiofilemagazine.bsky.social "Six friends. One dinner. And a secret that won't stay buried.”

One more bit of Thoreau to kick off the week. This project was incredibly meaningful for me. These essays are startlingly current, and many have had only cursory recordings. I hope you’ll have a listen. On @libro.fm: libro.fm/audiobooks/9... On Audible: www.audible.com/pd/Strange-A...

“It is not an era of repose. We have used up all our inherited freedom. If we would save our lives, we must fight for them.” ~Henry David Thoreau, Slavery in Massachusetts, given July 4th, 1854

This is an extraordinary collection and I am so honored to be a part of it. Joyce Carol Oates’ stories are haunting, dangerous and magnetic, and I can’t wait to hear the rest of these amazing actors performing her work. #audiobook #newrelease #psychological #suspense www.audible.com/pd/The-Frenz...

So: this beauty went live yesterday—some of Thoreau’s most remarkable work. A dozen essays that are startlingly relevant to today’s world. “Slavery in Massachusetts” & “A Plea for Captain John Brown” are particularly resonant in our fraught political environment. (1/2)

Let it be known: I did not fall from grace. I leapt to freedom. ~Ansel Elkins
Autobiography of Eve, by Ansel Elkins

Wearing nothing but snakeskin
boots, I blazed a footpath, the first
radical road out of that old kingdom
toward a new unknown.
When I came to those great flaming gates
of burning gold,
I stood alone in terror at the threshold
between Paradise and Earth.
There I heard a mysterious echo:
my own voice
singing to me from across the forbidden
side. I shook awake—
at once alive in a blaze of green fire.

Let it be known: I did not fall from grace.

I leapt
to freedom.

Looking forward to leading a breakout session for authors at this year’s Camp Necon: “How to Give an Unforgettable Reading.” I’ve been coaching for over 30 years—actors and non-actors alike, and since most is over Zoom these days it’s fun to get to work with a group in person.

Disappointing response from @schumer.senate.gov today. I’d sent a @copyrightalliance.org email, urging him to stand up for artists: work to enforce copyright law and end the theft of creative work. His response? “I have concerns, BUT look at how great AI is!”
Email from Chuck Schumer’s office. The body reads: 

Thank you for contacting me with your thoughts on Artificial Intelligence (AI). I have concerns with AI, but now is the time to develop, harness, and advance its potential to benefit our country for generations. I believe it is critical to construct a flexible and resilient AI policy framework across the federal government that can adapt as the technology continues to advance, allowing for innovation and continued U.S. leadership in the development of this critical technology, while enhancing security, accountability, and transparency.
 
            I have been working with leading AI practitioners to create a framework that will ensure the United States can develop, harness, and leverage AI to our nation's advantage. We need regulation to prevent catastrophic damage, but also to stay globally competitive. My framework will advance four guardrails to deliver transparent, responsible AI while not stifling critical and cutting-edge innovation. These four guardrails are: Who, Where, How, and Protect. The first three guardrails - Who, Where, and How - will inform users, give the government the data needed to properly regulate AI technology, and reduce possible harm. The final guardrail - Protect - will focus on aligning these systems with American values and ensuring that AI developers deliver on their promise to create a better world.


Final paragraph describes his work as co-sponsor of S. 2663, the Consumer Product Safety Commission Reform Act, and uses it to illustrate the idea that he will, “work to protect the American people.” 

It does not address the rampant theft that has occurred and is ongoing.

I left a vm for my rep today and just for good measure decided to email as well. Went to their website & selected the appropriate constituent contact form. It seems crazy to me that now, today, in 2025, it asks for “Email and Twitter Information.” Twitter? Really @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social???

So this is a first & I admit my GenX heart is full of glee. My first “audiobook” was Vincent Price telling ghost stories from our record player. (I still have that record & pull it out every Halloween.) I am delighted—what a lovely thing to receive at the close of “June is Audiobook Month” (#JIAM).
