Hoi, I'm making a thread of my recent series of Youtube videos having conversations around my experiences as a disabled creator. Boosts are appreciated!

First one is talking about my neurodivergent brain boops 💜

A white mug of earl grey tea sits on a desk. The mug has the words "Fuck yeah tea!" on it. Decorations like a mug of tea, small ghost, some pumpkins, stars, and fall leaves adorn the caption.

The cover of You Weren't Meant to Be Human by Andrew Joseph White - Hardback. A simple scatched black background with the title in large white letters and earth worms snaking around them description: Festering masses of worms and flies have taken root in dark corners across Appalachia. In exchange for unwavering loyalty and fresh corpses, these hives offer a few struggling humans salvation. A fresh start. It's an offer that none refuse. Crane is grateful. Among his hive's followers, Crane has found a chance to transition, to never speak again, to live a life that won't destroy him. He even met Levi: a handsome ex-Marine and brutal killer who treats him like a real man, mostly. But when Levi gets Crane pregnant-and the hive demands the child's birth, no matter the cost-Crane's desperation to make it stop will drive the community that saved him into a devastating spiral that can only end in blood The cover of A Steeping of Blood by Hafsah Faizal - Hardback An illustration in purple and orange gradient of a young femme person holding a bleeding flower with the lower half of their dress turning into a sillouette framing an image of the window front of a ball room view from the interiour Description: Arthie Casimir has had her tea. Now she's out for blood. Don't miss the epic conclusion to the No.1 bestselling A Tempest of Tea by Hafsah Faizal; the gritty vampire romantic fantasy. White Roaring is sharpening its fangs after the deadly night that left the city in shambles. The press are dead, the public calls for justice, vampires are in danger, and amid the turmoil, the Ram announces a celebration. Still reeling from the bloodshed, Arthie has no time to mourn the death of anyone, let alone her own. She has no time for love, either, even though it had saved her life. As Arthie navigates new emotions and new allies, she must reassemble her scrambled crew and scrape what little they have left to fight one last time – and she will need to face the ghosts of her past to do it. Arthie and her crew still have plenty of hearts to break and crimson-red secrets to uncover in A Steeping of Blood . Perfect for fans of The Crimson Moth and Leigh Bardugo’s Six of Crows. 'Brewed to perfection' – Rebecca Ross, author of Divine Rivals, on A Tempest of Tea.

I’m looking for horror / dystopian / sci-fi book cover artists!

I’m particularly interested in queer, BIPOC, or disabled artists.

Feel free to drop recommendations, links, examples and so on. I’m not actively commissioning right now, just researching for the (hopefully near) future! #writing #art

Are you still looking for some comfy, cute and queer reads to escape from your family over the holidays with?

How about The Dos and Donuts of Love by Adiba Jaigirdar or Looking for Group by Alexis Hall?

hauntedbouncycastle.com/products/loo...

#booksky 🌈📚 #queerbooksky
The cover of The Dos and Donuts of Love by Adiba Jaigirdar - Paperback. An illustration of two asian femme people looking at each other and almost touching hands as thouggh in passing, on a purple background. Book description: A pun-filled YA contemporary romance, The Dos and Donuts of Love by Adiba Jaigirdar finds a teenage girl competing in a televised baking competition, with contestants including her ex-girlfriend and a potential new crush - perfect for fans of The Great British Bake Off and She Drives Me Crazy! "Welcome to the first ever Junior Irish Baking Show!" Shireen Malik is still reeling from the breakup with her ex-girlfriend, Chris, when she receives news that she's been accepted as a contestant on a new televised baking competition show. This is Shireen's dream come true! Because winning will not only mean prize money, but it will also bring some much-needed attention to You Drive Me Glazy, her parents' beloved donut shop. Things get complicated, though, because Chris is also a contestant on the show. Then there's the very outgoing Niamh, a fellow contestant who is becoming fast friends with Shireen. Things are heating up between them, and not just in the kitchen. As the competition intensifies, Shireen will have to ignore all these factors and more - including potential sabotage - if she wants a sweet victory! The cover of Looking for Group by Alexis Hall. An illustration of two lightskinned masculine people superimposed above two femme fantasy characters on foot on a country road. Description: An MM Gaming Romance from the Author of Boyfriend Material and Husband Material From the USA Today bestselling author of BOYFRIEND MATERIAL and HUSBAND MATERIAL comes a charming New Adult LGBTQIA+ romance perfect for fans of Heartstopper. Drew's always prided himself on being the "right" kind of nerd. He plays sports, has a solid group of friends, and never had any problem talking to girls. Sure, he spends time playing Heroes of Legend, the biggest MMORPG on the planet, but it's just a fun hobby, not his identity. Falling for someone in a video game? Not his style. Until it is. Enter Kit: witty, kind, razor-sharp, and a healer who's saved Drew's virtual skin more times than he can count. She's also, turns out, a boy in real life. The realization knocks Drew off-balance, but it doesn't take long for him to figure out the simple truth—he likes Kit, no matter Kit's gender. The real challenge? Kit's reality is leagues apart from Drew's. Being online is his life, and while he's willing to come out of his shell an inch at a time, there's such a wide gulf between them that Drew's left wondering: can love truly bridge the distance…or are they fated to remain in separate worlds forever?

Poetry is often underappreciated we're trying to change that.

We want to show folks poetry can be a powerful call for change as well as a cathartic form of expression, especially for marginalised communities. 💙📚🌈

A Fate Worse Than Death by Nisha Patel
I Cut my Tongue On A Broken Country by Kyo Lee

#booksky 🌈📚
The cover of I Cut my Tongue On A Broken Country by Kyo Lee The cover illustration seems to be a painting. you can see the texture of the brush strokes. Almost everything is in shades of green. The portrait of a young femme person nestled in large leaves lake those of lotus, with pink flowers sprouting across and maybe out of them. Description: Lotus flowers, youthful hunger, and other temporary beauties intertwine to tell this coming-of-age story, a set of pulsating poems that move toward a distant memory or a flaming future. Kyo Lee's intimate debut poetry collection is simultaneously a vulnerable confession and a micro study of macro topics including lineage, family, war, and hope. i cut my tongue on a broken country explores the Asian American diaspora, queerness, girlhood, and the relationships between and within them, pushing and pulling on the boundaries of identity and language like a story trying to tell itself. i cut my tongue on a broken country documents a search for love. It's a eulogy for the things we gave up to get here. It's an ode to tenderness. It blossoms and bleeds in your hands. the cover of A Fate Worse Than Death by Nisha Patel The core shadow of two open, upwards raised hands, as though dunked in ink and stamped onto the otherwise completely white cover. above, the name of the author in italisized font and below the title, both in red. Description: A Fate Worse than Death is a stunning poetic investigation of the worthiness of disabled life as told through the author's evaluation of her own medical records over the course of a decade. Living with treatment-resistant diabetes, bipolar disorder and generalized anxiety disorder, and complex chronic pain, Nisha Patel reveals how her multiple disabilities intertwine with her day-to-day life, even when care or treatments on offer are not available. As she works through her bouts of illness, neglect, and care, Patel reveals how poetry provides a way for her to resist the sway of medical hegemony, and instead offer complex accounts of pain, sickness, anger, but also love. Navigating the menial and capitalist systems of health care and paperwork, documentation, and forms, Patel uses clinical texts in visual poems that show how words like patient and client underscore more medical access and denial of coverage than words like person and care. As she asks us to consider if her life is worth living - and saving - the future of Patel's disabled body and her desire for it is a building meditation as the collection progresses, ending with less of a finite ending of cured illness and disease and instead a look at how we can embody hope and joy in a disabled body, as it is the body, like time, that goes on. The cover of A Body More Tolerable by Jaye Simpson An illustration of two wolves biting each other in front of a red background. The title of the book is presented in diagonal font which has a very hand script character Description: a body more tolerable is a collection of powerful and haunting poems combining faerie tales, mythology, and a self-divinized female rage. Divided into three parts, the book examines Indigenous grief, trans identity, and frustrated desires in ways that reject perception. Gone is the soft, kind, gentle girl that author jaye simpson once thought she would become. Instead, she unravels the sticky threads of colonialism with poems that exact lyrical acts of self-surgery. In these visceral poems, teeth gleam, graze skin, and sink into flesh, becoming bloodied and exposing the animalistic hunger that lies within. Pulsating with yearning and possibility, a body more tolerable is a book that resists typical notions of physicality and sex to dream of a world more divine. It is a call-out into the canon for a new age, one filled with retribution and recompense.
