David FarnellI'll be attending <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/WisCon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WisCon</a>, the oldest and most well-known <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/feminist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#feminist</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/SFF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SFF</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/conference" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#conference</a> online on May 23-26. This year, it's online-only, and it's also "pay what you can." The standard price is $25, but you can choose to pay less (they recommend $5, but even $0 is OK) if that works for you. I think a high attendance to help demonstrate that people value online conferences benefits us all. <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#books</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/scienceFiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#scienceFiction</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/fantasy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fantasy</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/literature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#literature</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/women" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#women</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/gender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gender</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/LGBTQIA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LGBTQIA</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/feminism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#feminism</a> <a href="https://wiscon2025.sched.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://wiscon2025.sched.com/</a>

Rohit Farmer, Ph.D.There is so much good available in the public domain. I just found LibriVox, a volunteer-run audiobook project for public domain books. The quality is okay and depends on the volunteer's skills and equipment, but it's free even without making an account. I use it on my phone and it works well with Android Auto. <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/audiobooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#audiobooks</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/reading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#reading</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/literature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#literature</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/AndroidAuto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AndroidAuto</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/librivox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#librivox</a> <a href="https://librivox.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://librivox.org/</a>
