[Podfic of] the boundaries of language (were not built for us) - Chapter 1

This is the sequel to truth has a name, a Game of Thrones modern AU about trans Jaime/Brienne, written by @robotsdance. Cover again by @palmofviolet

Brienne has been out since she was a teenager. By the time she went off to college she’d been doing the whole openly trans thing for years, so it’s not uncommon for people to come and talk to her like she’s got everything all figured out. She’s never had anyone pass out and nearly drown in the process of coming out to her though. Jaime is the first person to do that. Alternatively: Brienne and Jaime slowly and gently figure things out.

Rating: Explicit Length: 1h45min

Chapter 2!

The conclusion of @robotsdance's "truth has a name" series

Brienne uses his name with no conditions. No strings. From the moment he tells her his name, he is Jaime. Always.

Length: 1h 22min

This was my longest podfic project to date, with the first fic it's over three and a half hours in total! I'd wanted to record this for a long, long time. It's a wonderful story and I'm happy and proud that I finally got to do it.

[Podfic of] truth has a name (he dare not speak)

A podfic of @robotsdance's gorgeous Game of Thrones modern AU about trans Jaime/Brienne.

J hasn’t seen Brienne since high school but he remembers her. How could he not? She was the only openly trans kid at their school.

This is one of the most moving stories I've ever read. I've wanted to record it forever and am so happy that I got to do it now. Check out or listen to the additional tags and author notes for thorough warnings. This is an angsty story and it deals with some heavy topics. Nonetheless, it is beautiful.

Rating: Explicit Length: 30 min

Thank you, @palmofviolet, for making the cover!

Part 2 with its resolution to the angst fest should be up in the next days. Happy Pride everyone! 🌈

You might be frustrated by the library never having a complete manga collection on its shelves at any given time, but the 12 year old checking out 14 volumes of One Piece at once is vital to the library ecosystem. He's like the sea otter keeping the kelp forest from being devastated by an excess of sea urchins.

To those curious some other keystone library species include:

—the retirees who’ve read more murder mysteries than I’ve had hot meals

—the paperback romance girlies (gender neutral) who check out every single bodice ripper the second it hits the shelves

—the dads very slowly making their way through a ‘1001 movies to see before you die’ list

—the one-man criterion collection who checks out like, three movies per day and brings them back the next. (TV series are only a minor roadblock.)

—kids who like Minecraft

---The new parents checking out 47 picture books for their 7 month old baby who clearly has nothing going on in their head except the Wii Sports Resort theme song

[id. A twitter post by @/Bennieeexyz Jury duty letter came addressed to my cat. Not a mistake. "Felix Martinez" - that's his full name according to his vet records. My last name. His first name. Somehow he's a registered voter now. Called the county clerk. Me: My cat got summoned for jury duty. Clerk: Is the name correct on the summons? Me: Yes, but he's a cat. Clerk: Is Felix Martinez a legal resident of this county? Me: He's a legal cat. Clerk: Sir, if the name matches our records, he needs to appear or file an exemption. Me: He can't file anything. He has paws. Clerk: You can file on his behalf. Me: Under what exemption? There's no box for "is a cat." Clerk: (pause) Check "unable to serve due to medical reasons." Me: What's the medical reason? Clerk: He's a cat. Me: That's not a medical condition. Clerk: It is if it prevents him from serving. Sent in the form. Got rejected two weeks later. "Insufficient documentation. Please provide medical professional's statement." Took the letter to my vet. Me: I need you to write that my cat can't do jury duty. Vet: Why is your cat summoned for jury duty? Me: Excellent question. No good answer. Vet: This is the weirdest request I've gotten. Me: Can you just write that he's medically unfit to serve? Vet: On what grounds? Me: He's a cat. Vet: (started typing) "Patient is unable to serve due to species-related limitations including inability to speak, read, or comprehend legal proceedings." Me: Perfect. Sent it in. Got another rejection. "Summons is mandatory. Failure to appear will result in contempt of court." My roommate thought this was hilarious. Roommate: Felix is going to jail. Me: This is serious. Roommate: Bring him to court. See what happens. Decided that was actually the only option left. Day of jury duty, put Felix in his carrier. Brought the entire paper trail of rejection letters. Checked in at the courthouse. Clerk: Name? Me: Felix Martinez. Clerk: (looked at the cat carrier) Is that Felix? Me: Yes. Clerk: (long stare) He's a cat. Me: I've been saying that for six weeks. Clerk: Why didn't you file an exemption? Me: I filed three. All rejected. Showed her the letters. She read through them, expression shifting from confusion to disbelief. Clerk: Someone rejected the veterinary documentation? Me: Twice. Clerk: (called her supervisor over) You need to see this. Supervisor read everything. Looked at Felix. Looked at me. Supervisor: How did a cat get registered to vote? Me: You tell me. Supervisor: This is a data error. Me: Took you six weeks to figure that out. They dismissed Felix immediately. Apologized for the inconvenience. Supervisor: We'll remove him from the voter registry. Me: Appreciate it. Supervisor: (pause) Out of curiosity, how would he have voted? Me: Probably whatever party supports universal treats. Got a formal apology letter a week later and a voter registration card. For me this time. Apparently I wasn't registered, but my cat was. Roommate: Felix committed voter fraud. Me: Felix committed nothing. He's innocent. Roommate: That's what they all say. Felix is sleeping on the jury summons now. Fitting end to his legal career. end id]
