New book reviews on my blog: Fallen Gods trilogy by Hannah Kaner A Steep and Savage Path by J.J.A. Harwood The Incandescent by Emily Tesh

Hey all, I just wanted to say that the best way to stay in touch with me is on Discord or Facebook Messenger. If you'd like my username for either, drop me a reply or a DM 💜

Hi everyone, I posted an update on my blog about #repDISND, the disabled and neurodivergent representation event that I've run for the past few years. Due to RL and health issues, I am taking a quieter approach to the event this year; posting content on my blog, but less outreach. More details ⬇️

Currently in London looking after my mum while dad is in Japan and hayfever down here is kicking my ass. Also, of course the weather decided to suddenly get super warm 🥵

New blog posts recently: Shoestring Theory by Mariana Costa - geeking-by.net/shoestring-t... The Undetectable series by Courtney Smyth - geeking-by.net/the-undetect... Nightstride by Sophia Slade - geeking-by.net/nightstrider... Dragon Scales duology by L.R.Lam - geeking-by.net/dragon-scale...

Dream job but too many hours for me personally. Sharing to help others find it 💜

Just a tip to authors: contacting reviewers to demand to know when they're reopening review slots (especially if you missed them opening multiple times!) will just get you on the 'go to hell' list.

New Book Review: The Crimson Road by A. G. Slatter - geeking-by.net/the-crimson-...

I'm so behind on reviews and the 2025 disabled/neurodivergent books list. I have a nasty sinus infection and of course, my GP surgery has suddenly stopped doing telephone appointments. I tried to get to a morning appointment and failed, and my hEDS has flared resulting in an injured arm.

Sending love to everyone today! You're seen and loved 💜

It's Valentine's Day, so have some cards from the Cruel Gods world where, according to a certain domain, it's a sin not to sin!

Being in hospital for almost two weeks, and needing a third week to recover (I was starved and had to build back up). The only time I got detention was for getting a low mark in German because the teacher couldn't control the class.

I'm considering making an anonymous account (it seems I can't make a private account here) to keep in touch with people in a manageable way (I miss you all!) - if we've chatted elsewhere say hi!

Cover Reveal: Fever House Duology by Keith Rosson geeking-by.net/cover-reveal...

I've created a starter pack of #neurodivergent, #disability & #MentalHealth writers & authors. (The latter two didn't fit in the title) There are loads I should add, so let me know who should be included below. Please support underrepresented writers! #ADHD #Autism #Dyspraxia go.bsky.app/3pmvXM7

“As #InvisibleIllness or #disability is so misunderstood it often falls on the one in pain to educate others, or even simply defend their own symptoms": https://buff.ly/3wXcPEN from @apainprincess.bsky.social #ChronicIllness #NEisVoid #spoonies

Please share!

A new year means a new list of disabled and neurodivergent books/comics releases! I am looking for books/comics that come out in 2025 that: - are by disabled and/or neurodivergent authors OR - have disabled and/or neurodivergent representation. See below for details ⬇️

#DisabledCreators of all stripes! Let’s work together in creating, marketing, selling, etc — @barrowmember.bsky.social and I are gauging interest in a #CripCoop — starting with collecting a list of wants and needs, which then would match with another coop members skills/abilities. Interested?

Yey finally got an appointment with orthopaedics... it's with a physio. I've not had the greatest experience with NHS physios... Chris: What's it for? Me: I don't know. Chris: What body part? Me: It just says orthopaedics! 🙃 (I was referred for hips & shoulders!).

The 2024 Disabled and Neurodivergent book and comic list has had a massive update. I've added all the titles I had bookmarked and any added to the spreadsheet. The 2024 spreadsheet is now closed but if a title has been missed it can be added by commenting on the list (see below). /1

There are two very large wood pigeons in our front garden. George was extremely "alarmed" at the sight of them and wanted everyone to know it! 😹 Probably because they were bigger than he is!

I'm just finishing up adding links to last year's (see my feed for a link) & then I'll be starting on 2025. Readers, authors & publishers can add 2025 books/comics to the spreadsheet here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets... Do not add details here, use the link! #cripshelf #disability #booksky

Are you a #bookseller? Do your #bookshop have a #disability shelf (labelled #disabled or disability, not a euphemism such as special)? If not, why not? There are thousands, maybe millions, of disabled authors to choose from. There's an audience eager for #books. Increase your sales with a #CripShelf

It's the eve of a new year and I am hoping the ableism, including casual ableism decreases next year. I've seen so much judgment this year, especially when people like/do something different. They're not bad, mean, lazy, crazy, etc. Learn to use kinder language.

I was really glad to see Brugada Syndrome in an episode of 9-1-1: Lonestar but urgh, as usual, the writers missed some crucial details and made it sound like the condition is easy to live with. It's not at all.

"Most notable of these are the veneration of evergreens, which would with #time morph into the #Christmas tree... holly and mistletoe decoration; & a wild hunt of flying creatures led by the long-bearded god Odin... believed to have been the prototype of #Santa Claus" www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Good news: My local library (FINALLY) updated their system. Bad news: My local library updated their system. My saved books list is gone 🤦‍♀️

Here's another example of why Alt Text is needed for images and graphics. Please, please, please, enable the setting to force Alt Text before posting, and include a decent description of each image you share, especially those with embedded text. It means *everything* to some of us.

in case you missed it yesterday 👀

People complain that TV shows aren't realistic enough, but when they portray something realistic such as toxic workplaces or abuse the writers are accused of "glorifying" the topic. *shakes head*

I'm taking part in Disability December over on Instagram today. Check it out at www.instagram.com/p/DDZo0-SsO8q

There's a new layout up at Just Geeking By and some big changes happening to my reviews right now! Take a look at geeking-by.net

Woah, my follower count blew up since I was last here! There was a lot of new follower notifications and I tried to follow back people I recognised. I probably missed some people so let me know if we know each other from somewhere else!

I adored both of these books and highly recommend them! You can check out my review of The Reanimator's Heart here: geeking-by.net/review/the-r...

Hi everyone, Keeping up with multiple social media accounts is difficult for me, so this will be mostly an updates-only account. I'm a queer, disabled book blogger who focuses on disability representation. I blog at geeking-by.net I'm online as justgeekingby /1
