While it says it's a competition (simply because we don't have time to air every single entry, sadly), think of it more as a celebration of communication through audio. Can be anything from a digital creation to something recorded live on location. Enjoy messing about with sounds!

Free to anyone anywhere to enter: Micro #AudioFiction #Competition - Sfx, music, breath… and 10 words only to create a 60-90 second piece. Can be narrative, or abstract, a story or feeling around the theme "Visitor". Experimentation v welcomed. Details: www.audiodramahub.com/competitions

It's always, always worth contacting your appropriate political representative if in the USA. They are there to represent you, so letting them know your concerns & expectations is very important. It's not a finished thing yet. You have time to make an impact.

Captain Mark Kelly @captmarkkelly.bsky.social · Jun 30

Keep calling, writing, and speaking out.

Republicans are in the middle of trying to pass Trump's big bill, but it's not a done deal.

They know it's a bad bill, and we need to convince just four of them to stand with working families. If we can do that, we can stop this thing.

The layout looks v similar to my current, standard (UK) keyboard. So if you mean F keys,along the top, letters to the left, then Insert/Home/PgUp etc with arrows underneath and numbers to the right, perhaps it's a European layout?

Offbeat, different, experimental, or boundary-pushing in art/entertainment isn't seen as viable by most creators. If you want more of that, you have to support more of that. You play it safe, they play it safe. If you want daring, dare to support the daring.
