true facts. I am cool with the way I am actually. however the expectation that I should not be this way makes life difficult

If autism is going to be described as a "problem", we should specify who autism is a problem FOR. The problem isn't autism. The problem is a society that treats autism like a problem to solve instead of adapting to the reality that neurodiversity is normal.

bad news, lads, I'm pretty sure the CD was the problem and the CD player was fine all along. this is how I lose my faith

not raptured, but the CD player in my car did rise from the dead* *spat out the CD it ate three days ago and now seems to be functioning normally

Rapture delayed due to server overload

ICYMI bc I forgot until right before bed, oops

Listen: Queer ppl gotta stop boosting stereotypes/gate-keeping bisexuals, especially bi's married to the "opposite" gender. The more we're rightfully seen as queer in the mainstream, the more it challenges cishet's belief that there's a clean safe line between "us" & "them." And the safer we ALL are

forgot to drop my newsletter here from this morning but ayyyyyyyy we have a full book description now also I kinda came out to a nun this month buttondown.com/elizmanderso...

things suck but at least I have this silly old man melting on the back of the couch as one does

It's dog o'clock

If my student loans don’t get raptured I STG

French Canadians! This is a template letter you can use to let your reps know you don't want Bill s-209, Canada's attempt at an age verification bill

possibly my favorite use of this poem ever lmao

We’ve been rewatching the LOTR movies. IDK what this guy planned to do with a Hobbit-sized mithril coat, but this is now canon as far as I’m concerned

I open to queries on the 1st of every month and I close when I get to 100 unread queries in my inbox (or on the 7th of the month, whichever comes first) You can see my full MSWL on my or the Azantian website but right now? I desperately need a friendship or sibling story that makes me cry. #MSWL

I knew this was a very bad time to have "autism" on my official medical record, but I sought diagnosis anyway bc ya girl's been struggling and also bc fuck you, RFK and everyone else who thinks autism is some horrible dreadful thing

Looking for a book by an autistic author with an autistic main character? Then, Oliver in The Reanimator Mysteries is for you. Stick it to RFK Jr. and support your local autistic creative

Hey, Autism is not a disease. While not all Autistics have food aversion, it is found in a lot of Autistic and neurodivergent folk. If you want to stick it to the people sharing and celebrating the spreading of misinformation about Autism, share stuff made by Autistic folk. Like my book:

pspsps only a few more hours to enter the goodread giveaway for HIGHER MAGIC, y'all www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sho...

Keep sharing Keep donating Keep going The African Translation Project is at 42% of their goal! just TWO DAYS left! We want all three of their goal books! ko-fi.com/africantrans...

A reminder as you tell people to "find community" that most of you do not give af about accessibility. In some places (like my state) anti-LGBTQ laws (targeting trans & nonbinary) overlap or are even identical to ableist "ugly laws" & cut off access to transit/public accommodations/housing/work.

nobody wants to remember the twenty-first night of september anymore and that's sad

quote with some #FanArt this franchise sank its claws into me so deep I actually *have* some fan art lmao, I enjoy other people's fan art but don't often do my own #PotA

A group of youth climate researchers affiliated with UC Davis is trying to fix climate models to correct for fossil fuel industry propaganda that has snuck its way in. But... of course their funding was just cut. :( So they're doing a GoFundMe. www.gofundme.com/f/support-Ba...

EXTREMELY VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS BOOK

I told my 60+ year old mom about payment processors limiting what people can buy or suspending accounts over buying adult books and toys. She, a rather prudish person, was horrified that they should be the morality police. Maybe get your romance book moms to send some strongly worded letters.

please donate if you can and share if you can't! it's been a rough oh god almost half a year (😭) so even a little bit would be so, so appreciated

After multiple car emergencies, now it's my water heater that's giving up. Sigh. Any help is extremely appreciated, even if it's just sharing this with your circle. Can I get like 150 share? Please. Thank you. #mutualaid

I don't know where all the rapture talk is coming from (I'm not asking, btw), but as a Millennial once again I'm just sitting here like ...another one? like real talk how many raptures and ends of the world have people my age been through at this point. y'know aside from "too many"

the funny thing about the constant misappropriation of MLK is that the guy left a massive body of writing specifically aimed at explaining his views of those of the movement he represented to the broad public. it is extremely easy to know what the guy thought on a variety of subjects and yet

it's past my bedtime but if you liked my poor yet accurate description of my upcoming queer cozy horror Arthur Throckmorton, who loves clocks & romance novels, you can add it to your TBR now GR: www.goodreads.com/book/show/24... SG: app.thestorygraph.com/books/d27e0a... #LateNightWrite

nobody wants to mmmbop, ba duba dop ba, du bop, ba duba dop ba, du bop, ba duba dop ba du, yeah, yeah anymore and that's sad

Arthur Throckmorton: 43. hopeless romantic. enjoys fixing clocks and reading romance novels. not wealthy or particularly good-looking and generally bad at everything (except aforementioned interests) but will love the right person to the moon and back* #LateNightWrite

yes

.........................everyone in the story hates living the places they live, so I #LateNightWrite

lol you mean the way I usually describe it? an autistic 43yo guy has a gay/lowkey monsterfucker awakening after getting lost in an enchanted forest that keeps murdering people? that way? #LateNightWrite

OH SHIT I FORGOT anyway hi I'm E (she/they), here are some memes for THE LORD OF THE WOOD (my memes folder is woefully empty for this one so far), and my favorite aspect of this book is probably how clueless Arthur is #LateNightWrite

How you doing? Need a little break? Maybe some cute and cozy stories would help. Totally free at alhessbooks.itch.io and set in a soft and overgrown post-post-apocalyptic world inspired by the song (Nothing But) Flowers by the Talking Heads 🤖🪻

transmasculine retelling of puss in boots

I will die on the hill that if we’re gonna talk about “cancel culture,” we should START with people like Muhammad Ali and Collin Kaepernick, neither of whose treatment was called anything like that. And let’s have a wee think about who needed them to be silenced and why.
