I love connecting with other authors, especially over queer books❤️❤️

😁 😁 😁

Peek bi visibility is being late to Bi Visibility Day. Anyway, here’s my bi book that came out in May🥰📚 In all seriousness, being visibly queer is really scary right now. But that’s all the more reason for me to keep writing queer books and talk about queer joy & community.

TL;DR stop coming for autism and start looking at the number one killer of children in the U.S. I hope lots of things for this book, but mostly, I hope it makes even a small difference, and I'm so lucky @danieledhunter.bsky.social believes in queer, disabled books❤️

Over 2/3 of the abducted people sent to Alligator Auschwitz are now “missing.” Their records in ICE’s database are gone.

ICE agents held a 5-year-old autistic girl outside her Massachusetts home to pressure her father to surrender to authorities last week, according to the girl's family

Does this count? From All I Know So Far✨

Happy Rapture Day, fam. If you're a Godly Citizen TM and want to give your money away before you get floated up (I think that's how it works?) you can donate to any of the Palestinian families at the 🔗 on my page please and ty.

Icymi, I hosted a giveaway earlier this month on IG for Gaza. I'm still waiting to hear from a few winners, but so far it looks like we've raised over $400. It's so hard to be a person rn, but knowing how many of y'all care about Palestine makes me hopeful. I’m so overwhelmed but in a good way❤️

So like, if the rapture doesn't come, can we still follow through on that plan for universal healthcare? Asking for a friend.

if the rapture doesn't happen you'll be able to read my queer cozy horror THE LORD OF THE WOOD next July, and if it does then it doesn't matter that you spent money preordering it, win/win bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

Susan Monarez, the CDC director for 29 days, said RFK Jr. Kennedy told her “the childhood vaccine schedule would be changing starting in September, and I needed to be on board with it”. My story, with updates to come as this Senate hearing continues: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

My upcoming novella isn't a capital-R Romance, but it does deal with a queer romance at the center of the novel. I hope readers can see themselves in Kai's experience and also realize that they're worthy of love as they are❤️ And also I like that it's queer. My books will always be queer.

I've been seeing this trend go around again (shout out to @ericaroseeberhart.bsky.social) and wanted to make my own for editors! My amazing agent @danieledhunter.bsky.social is querying the project we like to call "gay dance boys" and I'm so excited to hopefully share it with you soon❤️

North Carolina, come hang out with me in Charlotte, Greensboro, & Raleigh📚🚗 For everyone else, Becky Albertalli and I will be on IG live in a few weeks, so mark your calendars! I'm so excited to chat with @meredithadamo.bsky.social & @olivialeighneal.bsky.social. nicolezelniker.com/upcoming-app...

Wait yes I love these! Give me a page 11-141 and I'll give you a quote from my upcoming novella. Also we love @elizmanderson.com in this house.

I can't believe tomorrow is THE GOLDEN BOY'S GUIDE TO BIPOLAR day and also THE DEAD OF SUMMER day??? I get to yell at people to read @sonorareyes.bsky.social's beautiful and important and amazing book AND read a new book by @ryanlasala.bsky.social!?!? Too good to be true imo.

This is utterly ridiculous. Karen wrote multiple threads over the last few days condemning gun violence and political violence. She wrote one post about Kirk directly and that was only quoting him. She’s an opinion writer. She did her job.

send us your walking blood bags, about to burst

Found family-core✨ From left to right: All I Know So Far (Inked In Gray, May 2025), We Are Made of Scars & Starlight (Vine Leaves Press, October 2025), and my current WIP.

RFK Jr. is working to single-handedly dismantle the CDC. He’s ignoring decades of research and science to advance his own anti-vaccine agenda. He’s unqualified for the role, and his positions are deadly. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/07/u...

I know everyone is consumed with other news, but this is a big fucking deal: The Trump administration says that IUDs and the Pill are actually abortions. Here's what USAID told the NYT about the $10m in birth control they plan to destroy. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/h...

"Radical left" and it's just me curled up with my cat reading my gay books and existing as a disabled person.

I'm done with Charlie Kirk now. Have some trans/enby book recs: 📚They Bloom at Night by Trang Thanh Tran 📚Godly Heathens by HE Edgemon 📚A Million Quiet Revolutions by Robin Gow 📚The Boy With The Bird In His Chest by Emme Lund Plus, poetry collections by Yaffa As, Sojourner Davidson, & Danez Smith.

I'm going to say apple picking for Reasons TM. Except Ezra, who's staying home with an arthritis flare (relatable). Anyway, ALL I KNOW SO FAR is out now and features lots of fun fall adventures and loads of queer and disability rep.

1. You may have heard of book bans before, but the new one in Alabama takes the cake. The Alabama Public Library Service has a new proposal that would ban—get this—only "positive depictions" of trans people. The hearing is next month. Public comment is open. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I love book events, but hate the come down. It's fatigue so bad I mess up at work. It's nausea and sticky joints and full-body aches. For now, I'm only planning one reading for my Oct. release. I love book events, but there's a cost for disabled authors, and there's nothing to do but sit with that.

rest in peace dad you would have loved laughing at charlie kirk’s icarus moment

Will be interesting to see which news outlets omit his years of violent white nationalism. I'm guessing practically every single one.

“There is no place for political violence in this country” say the politicians using legislation and rhetoric to attack trans people, immigrants, women and BIPOC daily. Just because it’s done with a pen and not a gun doesn’t mean it’s not political violence. Hypocrites. Not that they care.

My not-a-romance-but-has-romance-in-it novella comes out 10/14 & here's how my gays would amusement park: Kai: Trying not to die in the sun. Lupus things. #ChronicPainIcon Mariah: Shopping. Always shopping. Aubrey and Elijah: Riding all the rides, THEN going ham on the food, in that order.

My friends are so funny because what is this conversation??? Me: I'm drafting a new historical fiction idea. @shes-allison.bsky.social: Huh. That's kind of out of your wheelhouse. Me: It is? Allison: Yeah, you don't write hist fic. Me, author of a Pushcart-nominated hist fic book: I dOn'T???

Minor spoilers for The Legendborn Cycle ahead! Low-key I can't wait for therapy this week, not because I need to talk about anything going on in my life, but because my therapist is reading Bloodmarked and the last time we talked she was just about to head to Valec's magic bar.

I feel so very grateful to have gotten the HPV vaccine when I was 15. A nurse practitioner came to our health class in high school, and I was easily on board. HPV vaccine limits suffering due to cancers associated with some strains of HPV.

Thanks for a great time to the Printer's Row Lit Fest! I am very exhausted and going to spend about a week in bed post-trip for chronic pain/fatigue reasons, but I'm so happy I got to go talk to Riley Redgate and Skyler Schrempp about queer YA📚

Artemis just looked up from her lap nap, gave me a tiny kiss on my hand, and then went back to sleep. We don't deserve cats.

Just a reminder that the Israeli government claims to be committing genocide in our name as Jews, but refuses to acknowledge Bal Tashchit (saving the trees) and Pikuach Nefesh (prioritizing human life). Doesn't seem particularly Jewish to me. Anyway, free Palestine.
