Disability is not a moral failing. It’s not a punishment. It’s not karma. It’s part of the human experience. Our bodies are frail, and given enough time most people will experience disability. The idea that we’re lazy, choosing not to “try hard” or want to be sick is a fallacy born out of ableism

🏳️‍⚧️ Trans anthologists/editors in the UK - would anyone be interested in working with us to curate an all-trans horror/dark fic collection to benefit UK-based trans nonprofits in 2026? If so: drop us an email at [email protected] and we can make a plan

One of the best ways you can help disabled people and fight fascism is by wearing a mask. Representation and visibility matter. When you wear a mask you tell us you care about making public spaces safe & accessible. You also make it harder for mask bans to pass. Mask up. We need you.

It is wild to me that with everything going on right now, Canadian L/liberals are like "Now is not the time to focus on marginalized people." It is unsurprising, but it remains shocking to me. It is especially the time.

I saw a post where an author said ‘if you use AI you can’t call yourself a writer and I’ll block you’ and there was a whole load of people getting crunchy at her and telling on themselves and defending their use of it so I went on a blockity blocking spree too 💅 A few were even following me?!

the whole irony poisoned way of seeing something unusual and reacting with quips of 'kill it with fire' or 'i just lost brain cells' is such a muted way of trotting through this beautiful timeline, and such a common reaction from those raised by the internets depths. i hear this a lot with my books

just a refresher for the people on my tl who forgot: dunking on a transphobe is never worth the trans people who have to see the transphobia they are spilling, so please. you are not special and your dunk is not anything we haven't seen before. stop fucking giving them attention.

Continually amazed at how angry people get at the idea that everyone deserves food, water, shelter, safety, and the freedom to express themselves without bigotry or violence from others.

Patriotism is an important ingredient in actual transformational change, which is why many Black liberation thinkers across US history have claimed the core of the revolutionary legacy. The problem with this country isn’t in the ideas it was founded on but that those ideas didn’t go far enough.

Maybe we should honor the women who were real astronauts. From left to right are Shannon W. Lucid, Margaret Rhea Seddon, Kathryn D. Sullivan, Judith A. Resnik, Anna L. Fisher, and Sally K. Ride. NASA selected all six women as their first female astronaut candidates in January 1978.

The Target thing is so funny. They had hooked pretty much every Black person I know, and then they threw it all away to make the confederate flag crowd happy just so they could not shop there too.

And even then, Death of the Author is an anemic and flat way of approaching text, permissible only because it frees us from the even worse Infallibility of the Author.

My incandescent frustration with the way liberal "allies" have framed their trans-advocacy has been called at times counterproductive, or more infuriatingly, "victim-blaming", so I'm making a few things clear. a) Trans people were BARELY afforded any epistemic authority in these matters.

It’s bad enough we have healthcare workers refusing to mask, now one admits to practicing medicine while he has measles Does the HHS Secretary condemn this behaviour? No. He praises the doctor as an “extraordinary healer” Measles is airborne & wildly contagious. This doctor should lose his license

I understand the urge to correct RFK Jr on factual grounds about taxes and stuff, believe me I do, but we cannot afford to lose sight of the fact that the true offense is that the head of HHS does not believe we autistic people deserve equal standing as members of this society. That's the take away.

I'm autistic. I pay taxes, I have a job, I write poetry. But here's the thing: even if I could do NONE of that, my life would still have value because I am a human being. A person's worth is not predicated on what they can produce in this capitalist hellhole. Human life is valuable. Full stop.

It's hard to explain to people outside this fight that Texas is currently trying to ban kids from using public libraries... but they are; it's passed out of committee, and it's going to a floor vote. 🚨If you know ANYONE in Texas it's time for them to call their reps and demand NO ON HB3225🚨

I've teased this enough - here is the full art of my book cover! It was challenging to create an illustration for my own project, I worried I'd never be fully satsified. Fortunately, that wasn't the case! I'm really proud of how it came out and I hope it would make you pick the book up 🥰
