Merry Christmas to all, from all of us at NV Access!

#Christmas #Christmas2023


This Christmas, I've finally bitten the bullet and done some serious contributing to @openstreetmap (and also joined the OSM Foundation while I was at it). Honestly, I think it's one of the great wonders of the #OpenSource internet, so I wrote a blog post about why I'm contributing (and you should too)

Are you already fed up with Christmas carols?

Here's a hilarious one that will make you smile. 😉

Happy holidays and happy encrypting! 🔒

Thanks so much to everyone who has voted for their top 10 #holiday songs. We have well over 300 tracks voted for now, and we’re going to play the top 100 in a live 10 hour #Christmas party this Saturday, complete with plenty of fun Mastodon interaction using the #MushroomFM hashtag.
I took a sneaky look at the chart as it currently stands, and mate, there’s everything to play for. Things are close enough right now that I wouldn’t guarantee that the song currently at the top of the charts will stay there.
So, if you’ve not voted yet, it’s quick and #accessible.
We’re honoured to have the chance each year to bring a bit of fun and #festive cheer into the world and look forward to many of our Mastodon friends joining us. Ready to vote? I hope so because you only have until 11:59 PM US Eastern time on Thursday. Then the chart closes and we get to work on putting the live show together.

Nějak začít musíš. A pak je z toho adventní věnec, jehož svíčky postupně rozzáří úsměv. A nebo věnec na dveřích našeho domku, který by rád přivítal lidi dobré vůle. #Advend #zivotvdovce #vanoceseblizi #christmas


Why am I finding all the good #Christmas #music late? I love this so much that I won't give any spoilers. Let's just say this should have been playing in a certain shop around this time of year. No, it's not "Never Gonna Give you up" or any other prank of that nature, but it is pretty funny and cool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDGl2albRHk


FYI, I just found this out and maybe it will interest others -

You can get "A Christmas Carol" narrated by LeVar Burton for free on Apple Books at the moment. :blobhajTinyHeart: He does an excellent job! 🎄

One of my favourite podcasts, Talk Description to Me, has returned from their hiatus for a Christmas special | ‘This year, to celebrate the season, we'd like to make this small Christmas offering: a reading of How The Grinch Stole Christmas by the one-and-only Dr. Seuss. But Christine is Christine, JJ is JJ, and this is Talk Description to Me, so in our reading of the classic Christmas tale, a few descriptions of the picture book illustrations have been woven into the text in playful Seussian rhyme!’

I've broken my tradition of waiting until #school breaks up for #Christmas to listen to #Christmas music.
now playing: Driving Home for Christmas - 2019 Remaster by Chris Rea from Dancing with Strangers (Deluxe Edition, 2019 Remaster) - Chris Rea
I've failed myself 😭.

Every year, #MushroomFM, a station run in the main by #blind volunteers, produces a top 100 #holiday #music countdown based on the votes of listeners. We also have a social media #Christmas party in conjunction with the live 10-hour broadcast. This year, for the first time, it’s happening on Mastodon.

This programming is produced by blind people, for the world. Everyone is welcome to vote for their holiday faves, listen in, and join in the social media fun if they want to. Here’s the blog post announcing the 2022 countdown. Looking forward to the votes of our regulars and, maybe, some new Mastodon friends as well. https://mushroomfm.com/node/3137


I’ve been hosting #jinglebooks on #bookstagram for a few years now. These days it’s mostly me #reading and sharing all my favorite #christmas #books. (I also try to find and read new releases for holidays too!) so as a mastodon exclusive (is that a thing???), I thought I’d share my curated collection of #newbooks I’m reading this year!!!

Are any of these on your TBR?? Let’s read them together! Look for reviews coming soon! Also share your book recs with me!
