10 days! Storyteller: A Tanith Lee Tribute Anthology ships JULY 1st! I'm thrilled with how it turned out. These authors are fire! tanithleestoryteller.com @marthawells.com @csecooney.bsky.social @nisishawl.bsky.social @mythicdelirium.bsky.social @marisca.bsky.social @mayadeane.bsky.social and more

it may not be encouraged but I also got a spring Covid vaccine in Ontario. In Toronto to be more specific. East Toronto to be even more specific and Pharmacare pharmacy on Broadview with lovely Lindsay the Pharmacist to be more specific still!

My 72-year-old half-sister has profound #autism. So, very likely, did my great uncle Carl, born in 1900. The #MMR vaccine was introduced in 1971. (Single Measles vaccine was introduced in 1963.) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ IME + in science's HO. #eugenicists go home.

As a US merit scholar, I had one of these #unpaid #internships at a private UK gallery in the 90s. I'll add to this critique that I was de facto cut out of things like galas bc I couldn't afford to buy the clothes. It has always struck me as a bizarre arrangement. The owner was a $$$ celeb.

‪I'm waiting for #Canada to whip out the actual head of state. The US administration seems oblivious to the fact PM #Trudeau is not the sovereign. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Today, we renamed our house "Castle Fuck It," and I just put a shot of bourbon in my coffee. /how it's going

I'm here to tell you if you can't focus or get anything done today because you're in a marginalized group that's about to lose rights, then resting and connecting is totally valid. Self care is resistance. Community care is resistance. 🕊️💕

I think if I could give one single piece of advice to everyone with ADHD it would be: figure out how your brain works, not how you wish it would

I've been so separated from "real life" at this point that it's starting to feel like a city I moved out of. It's a singularly #cyberpunk experience, I can tell you. #disability #cancer #covidawareness. Makin' it work, tho. Research for a novel, as usual. :D

Why are the Wicked cast always crying? Are they doing a PhD?

I’m excited to announce this new CFP for scholarly chapters to be included in “Contemporary Indigenous Horror” edited by myself and Krista Collier-Jarvis! The CFP is open to self-identifying Indigenous scholars and creatives, as well as allies. call-for-papers.sas.upenn.edu/cfp/2024/11/...

Katabatic Circus Vol. 1 is here with Sapphic Gorgon #poetry of mine! Thanks so much to Angry Gable Press. It's a beautiful book full of beautiful #poets. ✨☕

Full cover reveal! angrygablepress.com/2024/11/18/k...

Happy to announce my poem, "Where I'm From (after George Ella Lyon)," is now free to read in Issue #12 of EXIST OTHERWISE Literary Journal. EXIST OTHERWISE is modeled after artist Claude Cahun, whose gender-bending work defied social norms. Editor: Eric Jennings. existotherwise.cc/issue-12-sep...

Social media algorithms reflect the internalized patriarchy of the group. I'm here to remind you to actively resist that with conscious everyday actions that support women. Yes, I'm becoming the crush-the-patriarchy bot, and that's fine with me.

#climatefiction #glasgowc2024 I was interviewed about the climate fiction panel I moderated at WorldCon! news.sky.com/story/climat...

As I write this Uncanny, and Apex are conducting their annual crowdfunding drives. Weird Horror magazine has never crowdfunded before. In the past, we'd simply use revenue from our book-publishing activities to help fund the magazine. We now need your help. crowdfundr.com/weirdhorror

Actually democratizing art would mean making it easier for people to acquire the skill they want in art. Which would look like free college. Or free continuing adult education. More time off. Universal healthcare. The foundations that allow the freedom to pursue our various happinesses.

Contract signed for sapphic gorgon #poetry. Will reveal more at the proper time! (Is there a hashtag for that? >.>)

If you're going to clutch pearls over gayness, Renaissance Florence is probably not your scene.

Leonardo da Vinci was almost certainly gay. Just sayin’.

Extrasensory Overload: an anthology of speculative excess a.co/d/exSMsip Available for preorder in ebook format now. Releases in print and ebook on July 31st.

Someone wise pointed out to me the other day that you can just go through your feed and like everybody's posts. This accomplishes two things: supporting good people + effing the algorithm, which aligns 100% with my egalitarian outlook on life. Perspective changed.

I read an interview recently where someone asked Patricia Morrison, "How did you get into #punk?" She answered, "I wanted to be a veterinarian, but I didn't have the money." Same, sister. Same. 🖤🐾

If you supported the writers, actors, warehouse workers, or any labor union this last year; PLEASE support animation workers when our contract expires on August 12th. Nearly our entire industry has been out of work for a year+ bc of unchecked greed from the top. We can barely survive.

IKR? As a former Californian, I say don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.

“Experience” and “seriousness” are codes for white maleness.

I’m the only one posting about art and lit today, aren’t I? 😂

One of life's small pleasures is to open the window in the morning (weather permitting) and to listen to the cheerful racket of the birds.

Was #RichardSimmons the first person to create a seated consumer workout video for #disabled people? Bc that thing (Sit Tight) was my go-to for years. Remember to sparkle! 💖 Grateful and RIP.

I‘m more and more grateful for this character trait every day. In lots of people.

The way forward is mutual aid. Feel lost, lonely, scared? There is a free fridge project or pantry near you. Make some sandwiches. I am absolutely not kidding about this. “Not Knowing What Else To Do, Woman Bakes American-Flag Cake” is not terrible advice if you give it away.
