Wow, it’s SO good to see people on here who were mutuals of mine on Twitter! I’ve missed you! How are you doing???
“About Time” by Alice Wong is one of the best and most relatable essays I’ve ever read about writing. It’s in her book Year of the Tiger and possibly elsewhere, and I definitely recommend, especially for disabled writers who challenge normative expectations of what it means to be a writer! 💜

This was just posted by @tbretc.bsky.social on another platform. The Chicago Sun-Times obviously gets ChatGPT to write a ‘summer reads’ feature almost entirely made up of real authors but completely fake books. What are we coming to?

It’s hard to imagine a situation in which hospitals would so willingly go against established best practice and comply in advance with a legally dubious and morally corrupt EO except a situation in which the affected group is an oppressed minority being demonized by those in power for political gain

Talking with the people in my Disability History class is always so rejuvenating. Literally refreshes my will to live.

Friendly reminder - it’s completely legal to ask blind people if they need help! Yes, some of us may say no, and some may even be offended, but most will appreciate that you didn’t ignore us like everyone else, because we’re people❤️

Hello Bluesky!! I'm Delaney, the artist behind Made by Deli. I create cutesy, cottagecore-inspired stickers, prints, and little polymer clay creatures. My art is about bringing a bit of silliness and charm into everyday life, and I’m so excited to share it with you! ✨

Having complicated feelings about being back to something Twitter-esque, but I think it’s important to support alternatives to the current mainstream social media. Also, I like writing short-form content, and am glad to have an outlet for that again!
