‘Death remains my intimate shadow partner. It has been with me since birth, always hovering close by. I understand one day we will finally waltz together into the ether. I hope when that time comes, I die with the satisfaction of a life well-lived, unapologetic, joyful, & full of love.’

Glad I got to become disabled in a world that already had Alice Wong @sfdirewolf.bsky.social in it. I learned so much from her incredible writing & activism. May her memory be a blessing, & may we all continue her work.
Easiest way to do it? WEAR A MASK. Protect yourself & the vulnerable around you.

In the last chapter of Alice’s memoir, “Year of the Tiger,” she wrote her own future obituary.

The wonderful “oracle, storyteller, cyborg, trouble-maker, activist, night owl” we loved so much closed it with:

“Enjoy all of Alice’s good shit, and may you create some good shit as well.”

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

✨️ I drew my newest TTRPG character, a goblin called Wyld Myke.

👏 I can draw yours like this too, for the cost of three meals ($60 AUD). If you're interested, please hit me up 😊

I have 2 slots open! 💖

An edited tweet from Coffee Spoonie that reads: I want to be extremely close about: I never *don't* want to be asked about my OC it is never a bad or inappropriate time for OC questions I will never be displeased by questions about my OC at no point in my life will I ever be like "no thank u, i don't want to talk about my character right now"

99% of "who even uses/buys/needs xyz thing, it's so lazy" posts can be mitigated and answered by simply remembering the acronym "DICK".

Disabled people exist.
I am tired.

If you’re in the US it may be a good thing to do if you can afford it to have a small food pantry on your porch on Halloween for families of Trick or Treaters- SNAP benefits not existing in November will mainly impact children ❤️

This might be surprisingly controversial, but if you’re part of the queer community and don’t regularly mask in public (if able to), you’re betraying the community and our history.

I'm so happy to share that I have a story out in @aurealisfsf.bsky.social issue #185 ✨

'Catch and Consume' is fishy, mysterious, and a little weird 🐟
Just the way I like 'em.
A screenshot from Aurealis showing the cover of Issue #185 on the left, and a partial list of published works inside on the right in black text. From top to bottom, they read: 'Birdie' by John Pegios; 'Catch and Consume' by Ella T Holmes; 'Hooked' by Caroline Smith; and Frankenstein in Pop Culture: From 1910 to Now (part 3) by Claire Fitzpatrick.

I haven’t posted about this yet, bc I haven’t had the energy, but Midnight Meadow & I have parted ways. S&OS is getting a remake and will be republished next year, but for anyone looking for more info, this is a great thread:

The really frustrating thing about my publisher is that I don't think this is a classic case of publishing not being as profitable as people think. It isn't, but I can count up the profits I know they made, subtract the few expenses they did have, and there still should've been lots left!

I want your empowering/supportive/disability justice messages, poems, and sentiments for the Disability in Dystopia Anthology!

I'm going to make them into art for the collection.

Submit a picture or typed message to dis-anthology@outlook.com 💌 from now until November 1st!
#books #disability
This image contains text on a two-toned green background. Header text in white reads "Handwritten message submissions wanted". Below that, a ripped piece of paper has brown handwriting that reads "We will survive. Together!". In the bottom left there is a slightly askew neon green mail sticker with the image of a green gas cloud and a skull. To the right of that is light pink text that reads "Write an empowering and supportive disability justice message, poem, or sentiment. Take a picture & submit to dis-anthology@outlook.com It will be included in a collage inside the upcoming anthology!" At the very bottom, centred, in bright green text, is the message "if you cannot hand write it.I can do that for you! Simply submit it as a typed message."

If you’re struggling with Long Covid, MCAS, POTS or other energy limiting chronic illness… I’ve put together a series of guides to try and help.

These conditions are poorly understood and more often than not we end up learning from our fellow patients.

The cover for Artifice & Access has been hastily pasted on top of the book cover in the original photo.

Well, this isn't how I wanted to say this. I wanted to announce that I had ended my relationship with my publisher amicably, had my rights back, and would be re-releasing my books soon.

Instead I have to say that I have not received my rights back yet nor been paid.

Happy Trans History Month! ✨🏳️‍⚧️✨ We’re here and we’ve been here! Trans people have always existed and there's so much wisdom, strength, and talent we can find from our trans-ancestors. Here are some historical trans figures that helped shape our present and our future.

In her 40 years of midwifery, she owned a ranch, practiced medicine, and assisted in the delivery of thousands of children. It wasn’t until she passed that we knew she was transgender. Square image with light pink and blue hues as a background. Captions say "Trans History Month" at the top left corner with the Trans Lifeline logo on the top right corner. This post features Amelio Robles Avila. The caption in the post reads: Amelio Robles Ávila was a transgender man who fought as a colonel in the Mexican Revolution, gaining recognition for his military service. Robles transitioned during the revolution and lived the rest of his life as a man, and married a woman in 1930. His gender identity was legally recognized long before such recognition was common, making him a prominent transgender figure in Mexico's history.

This post features Sweet Evening Breeze. The caption in the post reads: Sweet Evening Breeze, aka Miss Sweets, was a nurse and performer. She was well-known for her performances at speakeasies during the Prohibition era. Her home served as a sanctuary for queer runaways, helping them gain access to food, resources, and clothing. This has also earned her the nickname of a “fairy godmother” among the Lexington locals.
