Happy International Asexuality Day! If you’re looking for ace characters, I’ve got three major ones in my historical adventure-drama pirate trilogy. 💜🏳️‍🌈

Today is my 26th birthday. Despite the genocide, I still support my family and my ailing mother, I continue my studies despite the war and the suffering we endure in Gaza.

My favourite author Paul Koudounaris has a new book out on 19th-century railroad dogs. He came across the material while researching another book & decided to give these stories to readers for free. In these pages, their restless spirits are granted a well-deserved immortality. shorturl.at/Cs20x

My little Ahmed is gravely ill from a virus caused by rockets. I haven’t been able to get his life-saving medicine for 2 days, and every hour could cost him his life. You are our only hope. Please, help us save him—any donation could mean life or death. 💔🙏 chuffed.org/project/mahm...

This week's post is our March wrap-up. Check it out for mini book reviews, what I did instead of writing, and more behind the scenes info.

Dropped Katie off for her CT scan this morning and dropped $2k 🫠, so I'm reupping the GFM if anyone wants to help out. Sharing also counts as helping out

A child's world is turning black. His eyes, once bright, are failing. Every second of silence steals a piece of his future. Gaza’s light is fading for him. Be the miracle. Don't let his story end in darkness. ACT NOW. SAVE HIS SIGHT. Verified: @mommunism.bsky.social chuffed.org/project/1624...

If folks can continue chipping in to this to help @authorkaraj.bsky.social with $$$ medical for their pet, Katie, who had to have a tumour removed, the costs are a lot; boosting also helps!

Anti-Trans bigotry is such a strong force because Trans people represent a movement towards bodily autonomy that would violate everything the fascists hold dear. The fascists don't want anyone to get to make choices about their bodies. Trans healthcare is a slap in the face to patriarchal control.

I'm a mother of four💔, my youngest just days old.🤱🏻 My husband is a prisoner, and I’m alone struggling to provide food, diapers, and medicine. ❤️‍🩹 I cannot work while caring for my children.

The two truths: 1) There is nothing wrong with porn, let people safely make it, let people safely enjoy it. 2) If you let people define porn as bad, authoritarians will ALWAYS expand the definition until their hands are around your neck.

Hey, queerly beloved! Let’s pretend I’m getting a television adaptation of my gothic paranormal fantasy serial, Shadows Over Ravenkirk. How would I cast it? /🧵 books2read.com/SOR1

a cool thing about "cd's" is you push one button and it plays an entire album of music ad free and then (unless you request otherwise) it just stops and awaits further instruction. a very elegant system.

In what language can Iexplain what it means for amother to be unable to warm&feed her child?cold&hunger conspire against us My child is withering away before my eyes in a ruined tent😭 Are there no compassionate hearts left to hear our cries?Please dont let me lose my third child🙏 tinyurl.com/baraaZ2

I feel like I never know characters' names in shows. I always end up looking them up because, even after 3 episodes, I'm still not sure.

btw the best way to stick it to my publisher IS to buy my book, haha. it proves that a) what I write (queer horror, severe mental illness, teenagers of color, etc) is in demand b) c( pays me d) gives me negotiating power for my next thing whether it's with hachette or somebody else

Somebody was talking about how all the single use plastics that we absolutely need for hospitals and medical settings are going to suffer from this petroleum crisis at some point, yet all i see in most publications is concern about gas prices.

When the impacts to the heart were first discovered, several people in the medical industry said to me "in about five years, a lot of people "too young" for cardiac events are going to start dropping dead, especially poor and medically complicated folks" and unfortunately, they were right.

Forgotten North Gaza… our voices fade. 😞 We live among rubble, no food or medicine. 💔 My little girl grows weaker, illness drains her strength. 😢 Treatment costs €250 — we can’t afford it. Any small help, or sharing our story, may save her life. 🥺🤲 Verified: Molly Shah ✅ chuffed.org/project/1565...

I REALLY hate how inundated pet medical care spaces online are with anti-vaxxers or anti-science people. They are so friggin negative about any and all treatments. I would think they were bots if they didn't make "normal" posts elsewhere. Anyway, pet parents, please trust science.

I’ve said this before but I truly think that reading shit you’re not ready for is how you learn to sit with discomfort. By forbidding the next generation from pushing their boundaries, you’re doing them an immense disservice

My cousin: the autistic kids I work with hate temporary tattoos Me, side eyeing the stack of tattoos: Same >.> Real talk though, I hate when someone stamps my hand or puts a wrist band on me or makes me wear a temporary tattoo. It's a violation of my flesh 😂

Someone that isn't autistic is more likely to be afraid of someone that is quiet and autistic. It makes the person feel uncomfortable because when a person talks a lot they know what the person thinks about like there’s nothing hidden, everything comes out and makes them comfortable.

I'm not saying you need to barricade yourself inside and isolate from other people like you're in a zombie movie you could just wear a mask in places vulnerable people kinda have to go to: - pharmacies - hospitals and medical offices - mass transit - the grocery store

Watching the latest LauraRaeSays video and goddamn, that is some jobless behavior (I love that phrase). Seriously, who has the time to harass people like this 🫠

I know people who've gotten pushback for wearing a mask in public Or who are afraid of masking because they might get pushback So another thing masking (even occasionally!) does is helps make it easier for other folks to mask if they want to You're normalizing community care, which is awesome!

Abood, a disabled boy with special needs, survived five Israeli bombings & was nearly killed each time. He is currently injured with a broken leg & needs surgery to insert a metal plate, which will cost €200 €5 is enough to contribute to his recovery Urgent give hope chuffed.org/project/1580...

Someone said to me, "I'm sorry but I got your book from a library." Nobody should ever apologise for that. You read my book! That's brilliant! I grew up hanging out in libraries and the idea of a world without them fills me with dread. Without libraries, authors, like readers, will only suffer.

Katie has her pre-radiation CT scan on Monday. I'm equal parts relieved and nervous that she'll be starting treatment soon. Her treatment will eat up most of my savings, but it's worth it. If you'd like to help out, you can donate, and if you can't, please share this post.
