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:

If you’re canceling subscription services with giant companies with ties to terrible people, you should think about replacing them with a library card. Many library systems give you access to physical media (some of which you can’t find on streaming!) as well as other great stuff.

Acetaminophen/paracetamol use in pregnancy doesn't cause autism, no matter what RFK says this week. This is not an unsettled question. Evidence summarized here: sciencebasedmedicine.org/tylenol-and-...

The only way I’m going to “treat” my autistic kid is with love and respect. Stupid motherfuckers.

Jesus fucking Christ JESUS FUCKING CHRIST

The Fox is free! Today my debut, Audition For The Fox, is officially out in the world. Magic. Fables. Time travel. And the many ways even a goofball can resist oppression & fight tyranny. Thank you to everyone who had a paw in bringing this into the world & supporting it. Forever grateful, I am 🦊💜

when they sell out of your books that’s a good event right✨ thanks to everyone who came to our panel, stopped by my table, and bought or brought books to get signed, you absolutely made my week🥰

Always here for a POV of the cat 🥰

two years and we need angry girls and the gentle boys who enable them more than ever ✨

i move the stars for no one

me and my emotional support october

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly. sbgi.net/tv-stations/

Where the separate divisions of ANTIFA landed on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944:

favorite new song (off Amanda Pascali’s new album and in general) is this, just a meandering bit of piano with people yelling in Italian in the next room. deeply comforting.

People want everything to be a binary between dooming and “we’re so back” but I’ll just say this is both a really troubling attack on press freedom and an open admission that your regime is fragile enough to feel threatened by Jimmy fucking Kimmel

The case for letting people set their accounts to private on bsky has always been a big one, but especially lately with the witchhunts going on. We need to be able to lock down and moderate who is following us. We need to be able to stop people from following us and soft block or remove followers.

We're coming up on the 10th anniversary of this Tweet. I feel like I should buy it a birthday cake.

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

The Jimmy Kimmel firing, Colbert's show, what's happening at WaPo, CBS... legacy journalism is slowly but surely coming under state control. It is more important now than ever before that we support the independent journalists out there doing the work not beholden to a fascist's bidding.

barely keeping up with the news but man I wish I were working on PunchWIP rn

This sucks, and feels scary (is scary). It is also liberating. There is no bootlicking that saves you. There is no evil you can commit to free yourself. The only path forward is to build community and fight fascists.

Let's all to take a deep breath & understand that we have reached the phase in fascism where if they want to declare you a criminal, you are a criminal. You can not magically avoid it, or do exactly the right thing to stay off the list. Fascism must always have enemies, and one day you will be one.

Grossmont Union High School District (CA) let go of all their teacher librarians and people are, well, UNHAPPY about it. timesofsandiego.com/education/20...

If you’ve been waiting to see why everyone loves protective (and definitely not panicking) Preston Jones and charisma queen Harmony Hale, now’s your chance!

i read @haridraws.bsky.social's I Shall Never Fall In Love today and it completely succeeds at what it sets out to do, essentially being a queer jane austen for modern audiences. by the time i'd finished i was really impressed at how much story and development they managed to fit in there

All 10s deserve a man a fifth of their size who would do literally anything for them

“I’m an eleven, but continue.”

I shouldn't be shocked, but I'm still always brought up short to realize how many people think "civility" means "white people speaking in relatively calm voices" no matter what vile shit they say.

The first author blurbs for VILE LADY VILLAINS have come in 🥹🥹 Thank you so much to @schwartzwords.bsky.social and to Lauren Dedroog for your kind words and camaraderie! 🖤 Please go check out Leanne’s and Lauren’s books and order them if you haven’t already!

Oop.

so anyway the kids read the short story “Button, Button” with the sub before I got there

Look I'm just a former toddler facing down an avalanche of professional commitments. If you need me, please email/DM/text/@ and please nudge away because I'll be scarce around these parts and posting/checking in very sporadically but would hate to miss something vital.

Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).

Someone shot up my kid's school today, and our governor is paying tribute to a guy who thought that is an acceptable price to pay for having the Second Amendment. Jared Polis has failed Colorado.

The Atlantic and NYT lost their minds if there was so much as a trigger warning in classes. Now, professors and Deans are being fired for a class that discussed the existence of trans people and those same publications are quiet. It was never about free speech. www.texastribune.org/2025/09/08/t...

this is what I want FiascoWIP to feel like to readers

We could call it “the press” but that name is already being used for something different

as an older teen I took stock of myself, recognized my dorkiness and looks far outweighed any charisma, and decided my main activity of acting was never going to be it for me professionally and I’d better stick with the writing I’d always done quietly on my own THE BETRAYAL OF THE SOCIAL MEDIA AGE

I just don’t want “film a video and hope it goes viral” to be a “reasonable” expectation of authors!! I hate being on video! I am too awkward for video!

It was the Dunning of tymes. It was the Kruger of tymes.

Clearing out CP and blurb reads before school starts and it’s been banger after banger, my friends are so freaking talented😩😤🔥

Autistic people have more chronic pain from hypermobility, EDS, migraines, and sensory overwhelm etc. and so take more Tylenol/acetaminophen/paracetamol than non-autistic people do. And autistic people also have more autistic kids than non-autistic people do. This is not rocket science. #autism

Harmony right before she stages an elaborate evening of fighting book bans through piano bar karaoke just to get Preston on a date and on her side

Spiders have dropped nearly on my head like three times now the last week, twice in the last day, what are they trying to tell me😭

@heykellyjensen.bsky.social notes that her book ban news round-ups are getting shorter *not* bc the situation is improving, but bc of of ✂️ to local news, fewer jrnlsts covering the issue b/c it no longer generates clicks, + fewer stories "being shared because they’re quiet/soft censorship..."

Hey, it's Sapphic September! The best month of the year! We have a Scottish sapphic gothic novel for all your lesbian needs: heaps of yearning, a sleeve rolling up scene (iykyk), and a woman moving in with her lover WAY too soon. Buy it now! geni.us/needfire

For anyone who thinks that is a lot of money consider that their last round of funding was for 13B, and that normally big copyright infringement costs like 150k per, not the 3k per they are gonna pay. A fine is a price. For 1/10th of their funding they will keep and use this data. Fuckers.

if someone offered me 3k to license my book to train its model so it could write like me i would tell them to fuck off into the sun

Does anyone know what kind of damages these are or if it depends--that is, are the authors whose copyrights weren't filed on time out of luck? Or here's hoping their pubs have to cough up the lost money by being in breach on contract.
