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. Mega 🧵 of resources

if you like #reading you may, like this totally real picture of Paul Rudd, enjoy ARTIFICE & ACCESS 😁 14 short stories by authors from around the world, exploring disability in fantasy. It really is that cool!! 😭 #books #booksky

The wonderful @ashintheashes.bsky.social and I sat down and chatted about tower narratives through a disability lens ✨ You can watch it on youtube! www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSiu...

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. sheilajenne.com/2025/09/01/p...

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.

✨🎉IT'S MY BIRTHDAY TODAY!!! 🎉✨ And I've heard that's the day to ask for reposts of my art 👀❤️ I appreciate every one of you who follow me, comment, like and share what I do.❤️

Small presses can be wonderful or a nightmare, and unfortunately you have to vet them yourself. There's no list out there, like there is for agents, of legit ones. So here are a couple red flags that should make you run away from a small press—yes, even if you've been waiting so long for an offer:

"Normal" is social constuct 🦐 #Disability Justice fights for a world that rejects able body supremacy and not only welcomes but loves all bodies 💖 #art #illustration #disabledartist #cripart

I drew what feels close to my true form, a #disability pride jester 😍 #art #illustration

Lads the HONK I just honked

In Nazi Germany, commercial advertisements helped to normalize the concept of a "racial community", and individual consumption played a larger role in the Nazi worldview than is often assumed.

Sorry I can't beat the stereotype of starved and poor artist, but I am low on funds, currently unemployed, and I do writing and illustration! Ooops! I have added some commissions to my ko-fi, including cover design, wizard illustrations, beta reading, and more 💖 ko-fi.com/ellaholmes/c...

Damn idk who made this anthology called 'Artifice & Access' but the stories are super cool and diverse 🤭 I also heard the ebook is ON SALE until the end of July 😱 A little birdie also told me it's perfect when you're in the mood for something cosy and fantastical ✨ #booksky #books #bookrec

When you’re asked to consider disability justice, it’s never “instead of” a different cause. It’s a call to support every justice movement deeply & effectively. Climate change, capitalism, fascism, racism, transphobia, sexism, genocide, &c are disabling. They want to disable those who resist, too.

💚 COMMON BONDS 2 is open for submissions! 💚 We are very excited to read what all of you wonderful writers have for us! We want short stories and poetry that: - are SFF - have an aromantic MC - focus on a non-romantic relationship Details here: claudiearseneault.com/call-for-sub... 🌈📚 🌈🚀💫

Check out this @thesicktimes.bsky.social video essay from the incredible drag artist Taipei, about how #LongCOVID affects the queer and trans community. thesicktimes.org/2025/07/17/v...

Andrea Gibson. Poet. Powerhouse. Beacon of hope. Lover of life and the world. You will be missed forever 13/8/1975-14/7/2025

Andrea Gibson has died.

Andrea Gibson, Colorado’s poet laureate and a national voice on LGBTQ issues, has died

RIP Andrea Gibson ❤️ A truly amazing poet and wonderful soul has left us. Please check out their work 🙏🏻

ok fine i'm pity marketing now... please submit a story or I'll cry so much that the government will try to steal my water 😕 I'll be so disturbingly down in the dumps, they'll have to redesign Gaston to look like me... 😔 save me from my terrible fate

His girls are wearing tweetie bird shirts- they are just kids

The Deal: YOU: get 81 cool books/games, many of which are very very queer WE: get Canadian Wildfire Relief money to redistribute to the affected communities via the Nii'kinaaganaa Foundation itch.io/b/3125/canad...

a thing local businesses could do to be supportive of immigrant communities right now is - offer free no-contact delivery to anyone within a certain radius who says they are not currently leaving the house for safety reasons; put up a fundraiser so documented/citizen customers can help pay for it

Imagining alternative worlds and narratives is an important practice for those of us who have been marginalized and oppressed 🔥 What does #DisabilityPride or #DisabilityJustice or #CripCare look like in your dystopia? What story do you have inside you?

To understand both my politics and gender theory you really need to understand that the bedrock of modern society is child abuse, split along a binary gender model, in order to train children from a young age into accepting and defending authoritarianism as the "natural order". We could change it.

It’s dangerously hot in Berlin today & my spouse and I don't have AC, soo we’re hiding from the sun behind our shutters and pretending to be on a space ship and my wonderful, brilliant, talented darling @ellatholmes.bsky.social created tiiickets 😭😍 Love it so much! #queerlove #disabledlove #heatwave

first attack teehee idris for @beetlebards.bsky.social #art #artfight2025

💔Renato's family is facing a tough time after his recent detention. They need support for legal fees to keep him with them. Please consider donating or sharing to help. Every bit counts. gofund.me/d7e8eb5a

Good morning! There’s nothing worse than losing a scene you worked really hard on, except losing a whole chapter or book So BACK UP YOUR WORK!

Disabled people are not as rare as you might think—we're just excluded and told to stay home due to ableism, inaccessibility, and eugenics. We may be magnificent and cute, but we're not unicorns! 🦄 #disability #disabilityjustice #art #illustration

IT'S JUNETEENTH! There is still so much fucking work to do in this country to clean up the blood it was built on and so many reparations owed. One of the small ways we can help is actively seeking out, hiring, supporting and buying from Black artists. bsky.app/starter-pack...

happy juneteenth! here are some of my favorite Black transmasc authors, theorists, mutuals, etc. (in no particular order) (add your favorites in the replies!)

happy Pride month from my asexual succubus, Felvienne 🌹 🖤🩶🤍💜 (she/her) #DnD #OCSky #PrideMonth

Resist. Rejoice. Remember. I dedicate this year's pride knight to my community. My trans family, friends and loved ones are beautiful, resilient and amazing and we will continue to thrive like the weeds society treats us as. Happy Pride. Trans liberation at any cost. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

They want to take your happiness away. They want to make your life miserable. They want you to be too tired and scared to fight back. THAT is why trans joy matters, it is an act of resistance, a reminder that there's a world worth fighting for

I really miss talking to Hani every day- his internet is terrible and he’s back in a tent with his family

Anyway if you're chronically ill and/or have a disability, please consider submitting to this dystopian anthology! Pay is $100 AUD. Submissions Guide: shorturl.at/jges6 Deadline: June 30th 2025.

Ableism weaponizes exhaustion and tells us that needing to rest is failure, needing care is just being lazy, and that to be #disabled is to be a burden. Disability justice rejects that lie. Rest is necessary. It is resistance. Interdependence is power, not weakness. ❤️‍🔥 #Disability #chronicillness

Vital resources for trans youth, adults, and their loved ones in the wake of SCOTUS' decision in 'U.S. v. Skrmetti.'

There will come a day when all of us have access to the gender-affirming healthcare we need without gatekeeping or financial barrier. It may not be in my lifetime but it will come, no matter how terrified these fuckers are of that inevitability.

🌈New Look for Pride Month🌈 Black hair, don't care 🧛 (Who am I kidding, I care about way too many things 😂) #pride #transmasc #fae #queer #femaletofairy #disabled

YES! Other words with ableist origins to avoid, or at least think carefully about before using as a negative: - imbecile - moron - dumb - stupid - blind - dunce - the r-slur (and any words that attach its second syllable to something else in a derogatory way) - crippled - crazy - demented - insane

Ella had thoughts about media, regurgitation, and fun linguistic things that all impact storytelling and wider social beliefs. Or something. IDK they took my gallbladder this week so I can't be held accountable for this unless it's true and correct 😊 open.substack.com/pub/ellahast...

I'm currently reading this wonderful story, and my completely unbiased ruling is that you need to pick it up too 😊

ART REVEAL 🤩 I wasn't going to show these until Monday but they arrived early and they're too gorgeous to keep secret all weekend. Mel to the left and Lilje to the right, drawn by the amazing @ellatholmes.bsky.social A pair of each will be included in paperback orders through my site 🥰

Ahhh go get the ebook of this wonderful disability in fantasy anthology for only $3.99 for #pridemonth noooow 🌈🏳️‍⚧️ There are some #sapphic stories to sob over & some trans and enby rep (incl my transmasc Rapunzel retelling!), which makes it a great read for June & #disabilitypride July! #books #📚
