‘Death remains my intimate shadow partner. It has been with me since birth, always hovering close by. I understand one day we will finally waltz together into the ether. I hope when that time comes, I die with the satisfaction of a life well-lived, unapologetic, joyful, & full of love.’ —Alice Wong

Glad I got to become disabled in a world that already had Alice Wong @sfdirewolf.bsky.social in it. I learned so much from her incredible writing & activism. May her memory be a blessing, & may we all continue her work. Easiest way to do it? WEAR A MASK. Protect yourself & the vulnerable around you.

In the last chapter of Alice’s memoir, “Year of the Tiger,” she wrote her own future obituary. The wonderful “oracle, storyteller, cyborg, trouble-maker, activist, night owl” we loved so much closed it with: “Enjoy all of Alice’s good shit, and may you create some good shit as well.”

"I'm honored to be your ancestor" - Alice Wong Thank you, Alice.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

We are offering one time payments to disabled folks in the South who will not receive their SNAP benefits this month. If you need help, please find more information and details at ndsdj.org/snaphelp. If you’d like to donate to the fund, go to ndsdj.org/snapdonate We take care of each other ❤️

A haunted house but every room is a different doctor saying, "Good news, your labs are normal," while you still feel awful.

✨️ I drew my newest TTRPG character, a goblin called Wyld Myke. 👏 I can draw yours like this too, for the cost of three meals ($60 AUD). If you're interested, please hit me up 😊 I have 2 slots open! 💖 #art #artist #digitalart #TTRPG #CharacterDesign

real and true

99% of "who even uses/buys/needs xyz thing, it's so lazy" posts can be mitigated and answered by simply remembering the acronym "DICK". Disabled people exist. I am tired. Curiosity > judgement. Kill the ableist body cop in your head. #disability #disabilityjustice

I offer short story editing & feedback for $10AUD per 1000 words 📌For DISABLED, CHRONICALLY ILL, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+ and otherwise MARGINALISED writers ONLY. I want to do what I can to try and uplift those of us who are most often excluded, erased, and left behind! 💖

If you’re in the US it may be a good thing to do if you can afford it to have a small food pantry on your porch on Halloween for families of Trick or Treaters- SNAP benefits not existing in November will mainly impact children ❤️

This might be surprisingly controversial, but if you’re part of the queer community and don’t regularly mask in public (if able to), you’re betraying the community and our history.

Hey #TTRPG fans 👋🏻 My wife is starting a new campaign with a Robin Hood-esque Sky Pirate Fleet 🏴‍☠️ Our table is hella #queer, #disabled, & #neurodivergent. Beginner friendly! Will be Saturdays at Noon CET. If you’re curious, you can find out more here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... #LFG

I haven’t posted about this yet, bc I haven’t had the energy, but Midnight Meadow & I have parted ways. S&OS is getting a remake and will be republished next year, but for anyone looking for more info, this is a great thread:

"We have nothing to lose but our chains." A forever bar for a forever icon. Rest in Power Assata Shakur.

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
