Delighted that Not Your Orlando, my collab with @agparker.bsky.social & Jaime Lock, published by Punk Dust Poetry last year, is reviewed in @zoebrigley.bsky.social new poetry newsletter. Check out below! 👇🏼 zoebrigley.com/2025/03/18/t...

GNU Terry Pratchett

This is what bothers me the most, official government data makes it clear that fraud within PIP claims is virtually non existent, so all cuts made will affect a genuinely disabled person who is already struggling due to an inadequate UC system. It's just wrong, fuck Labour.

Thank you so much to everyone who’s ordered a signed copy of Gynandromorph! It feels peak writer to sign them and send them off wrapped in old copies of @mslexia.bsky.social You can get this and Not Your Orlando - or just buy me a coffee - here: buymeacoffee.com/dragongeorge

I love @agparker.bsky.social's #writing, performance, choice of projects & vibe. Their body is also SO similar to mine in the way it misbehaves. Check out this fab Linktree linktr.ee/a.g.parker. Then read this interview ciadish.wordpress.com/2024/07/30/i.... Then buy some #books (please). #CripCoop

Been playing around with editing software and posting things on TikTok This is "Here Be Dragons" #Poetry #PoetsLIfe #DementiaAwarness #AlzheimersAwareness www.tiktok.com/@rickdovepoe...

My contract is over soon, the org can’t afford to keep me. I’m running out of my (private, waiting for NHS) miracle drug which keeps me functional. Any tips for remote part-time work would be helpful! If you don’t know of any, you could buy one of my books or a coffee 💜 buymeacoffee.com/dragongeorge

I think my dog might love me.

Timeline cleanse. He’s just a baby. #chowchow #dogs

The midnight delicatessen twins struck again. Woke up to a delivery of baked goods and a box of quiche. I’m so sad they’re leaving.

Two years ago we published TWENTY-EIGHT, a collection of stories from the Section 28 generation. Edited by @kestr.al and containing works from 28 incredible contributors, this book is an important look at the impact of the UK's "don't say gay" law. www.reconnectingrainbows.co.uk/books/twenty...

Couldn’t sleep so went for a not-even-5am jog, followed by sauna. Now, less excitingly, I’m off to the dentist 🫠 On balance, not a bad start to my year. #lunarnewyear #yearofthesnake

If you’re not familiar with the Nazis Aktion T4 program, please look it up. Too many folks forget that Hitler targeted disabled people first. No one spoke up, and rampant ableism means little has changed in 80 years. Centre disabled people in your resistance planning. We can help.

It’s available to preorder. I am *so* excited.

Limped up to a high intensity gym session with my walking stick. Explained the nerves in my left side weren’t working properly. Coach just took it on and adapted, no fuss. Just got me sweating. This is the way. #disabled #gymrat #migraine #eds #pots #whoknowswhatthefuck

Celebrating Burns Night by watching US Traitors rather than the pub (knackered, mentally drained), and squealing bc Alan Cumming seems to be wearing Anderson (husband’s family name) tartan. #TraitorsUS

You can now pick up a signed copy of Gynandromorph 😘 #QPoetryComrades buymeacoffee.com/dragongeorge

THE meme of 2025 for me.

A friend saw our collab poetry pamphlet in a bookstore in New York & I felt it a perfect time to remind you: you can buy this bundle of queer, trans rage & joy here punkdust.com/not-your-orl... “Here is a book that deserves a place in the archives of liberation literature.” lisa minerva luxx #poetry

A flash fic for our times. I am imagine quite a lot of people, particularly those who have to liaise with a certain president, are also asking the question, "We're supposed to talk to meat?" (Link to They’re Made Out of Meat by Terry Bisson)

Tried my new magic beans (Rimgepant) which are meant to help when the magic stab pen’s effectiveness wane and… I just woke after a 2 hour nap? A trip to the White Lodge? Alien abduction? Less discombobulated, more feeling akin to what many abductees describe in the X-Files.

I've built a machine that can be Confidently Wrong. It can also make pictures that all look a bit the same, as well as make a video of you kissing any celebrity or person you know. In payment, I'd like to boil the world's oceans dry, & steal all literature. For some reason, my head is not on a spike

Times are hard. Acts of self care are radical and necessary. Keep going you beauts.

Shout out to all poets, writers, artists, activists, if you'd like us to boost your new books, music, art, fundraisers & community projects for 2025 please add to this thread, we're just making a list for our 1st show of the year & will share @roaring20sradio.bsky.social #sohoradio thank you

Just a casual million or so parakeets greeting the morning. #ThanktheVictorians

Pain and weakness on my left side bc of migraine and I’m reminding myself, again, this is not another stroke. This meme gets me through, every time. #migraine

@jpseabright.bsky.social and I had our @eff-able.bsky.social subs meeting yesterday evening to decide on our final list of poems for the anthology (woo!), and Maine decided to help… by eating some of the poems* 👌🏼 *We did not allow this to impact our decision making. #QPoetryComrades #poetry

While I have the warm & fuzzies that 30 drag kings just followed me, George the Dragon is on hiatus, suspected dead. I love drag, but my disabled body takes weeks to recover, & this year other projects like @eff-able.bsky.social take priority. Solidarity, handsomes. Here’s to more accessible shows.

We fought the landlord for the twins upstairs who have mice and a broken roof and they knocked on our door at MIDNIGHT with FANCY BREAD and QUICHE and I never went from horror-movie ready to delighted so quick.

The sky is absolutely flirting with me.

ain't that a mood

Posted my first overseas signed copy of my poetry book! 🥰 #Poetry #QPoetryComrades

Migrating here from *the other place* has been an adjustment, but one made seamless by the North Star that is Joanne Harris’s shednanigans.

No one can figure out why, since the start of a pandemic, the number of people needing disability benefits has increased. *Jim from The Office looks to camera* It’s also wild how so many struggle to get benefits despite needing support. I just spent £49 on 2 pills, TWO, so I can function to work.

London peeps! I booked tickets to see @lucywebster.bsky.social at @thecommonpress.bsky.social this evening, but I have a migraine and massive POTS flare. Does anyone want my ticket?

Spent an hour reading through the eff-able shortlist, and you know what? It’s the book I’ve always wanted to read. #QPoetryComrades #Disability @eff-able.bsky.social

Ashamed to say, day one of meta boycott and my squirrel brain is jonesing for some scrolling. Didn’t realise how much I used it to regulate?? Anyway, reading the paper in bed with coffee 👌🏼 #BoycottMeta

New pronouns just dropped

Queer disabled joy, question flips & certified sexy kebab metaphors in an iconic London bookspot. Every sequin & syllable cut through that mid-January funk to blast “Gynandromorph” into the world! Proper memory making that 👌🏼 @agparker.bsky.social @housmansbookshop.bsky.social #PoetryCommunity

Huge thanks to all who helped me launch Gynandromorph into the world, it was a night of community, comradeship & queer, defiant joy. I am grateful & delighted at the space we all held & created. Big thanks as well to the legendary @housmansbookshop.bsky.social for having us. #QPoetryComrades

Did the Great Unboxing yesterday! Huge thanks to @writtenoffbooks.bsky.social for making this happen, and Saffron Lily for the beautiful cover art. If you’re around, come to @housmansbookshop.bsky.social Weds evening to celebrate✨ www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/gynandromo...

Wholesome (muddy) chow chow content for your timeline.

Forgot I can use our new queer poetry tag #QPoetryComrades 💥

MY BOOK COVER JUST DROPPED. Isn’t she a fucking beaut? Pre-orders now open writtenoffpublishing.com/shop/p/nu5q6... or come to the launch and grab a copy! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/gynandromo...

New starter pack for Chronically Ill and Disabled writers now created bsky.app/starter-pack... Should you be in it? Is your favourite author missing from starter pack 1? (Please check 1st: my admin spoons are limited & it takes me a lot of energy to create the packs). Reply to this w/ book/web links

‘Twas the night before Christmas, & all through the house, you could hear a mouse scrabbling bc the house was in London & the capitalist freeholders were inept soul-bereft cowboys who did fuck all maintenance on any of their properties & so the mice built nests in the cavities of their conceit 🎄

Peak wanker accountability post, but I have to say it bc I’ve had so many wonderful offers of creative work alongside my day job. Thank you, but I need rest, & - mostly because of a very insistent doctor & her extravagant fit note - I’m gonna take it! See you in 2025 you gorgeous lot.

Shocked, shocked I tell you, that the man who doesn’t have a favourite book, doesn’t dream when he sleeps, and had no childhood fears to speak of, believes the creative industries exist solely to help develop generative algorithms designed to burn the world while they suck our souls dry.

I ordered 1.5kg beef joint. What arrived was 2.4kg and double the price. I complained. They gave me a refund?? But I kept beef. So much beef. All around us is beef. All within us is beef. The chows are beef. Beef is the word, the life force and the air.
