Memoirs about disability & disabled experiences

Last year, thanks to #dcasegrant, I went to a @storystudiochicago.bsky.social retreat at Ragdale co-run by @meganstielstra.bsky.social & @eirencaffall.bsky.social to work on my project COSMIC FRUIT. "We Beet On," now in @orionmagazine.bsky.social, started there! orionmagazine.org/article/we-b...

Help us celebrate and uplift the disabled community this Disability Pride Month. We wanted to highlight the amazing work of former P1M authors,  @eirencaffall.bsky.social‬ and Megan Nix as well as recommend some of our favorite books with disability representation! #disabilitypride #booksky

March 2025 Me, in the hospital with a broken vertebra and high on painkillers, was super optimistic about what July 2025 Me, healed and back at work and stone cold sober, could get done during this month. To be fair to her, she was looking at this view.

"In dark places, it is light that calls us. Even in a broken ocean full of chemical fouling and warming water, bioluminescent fire remains." Diagnosed with a kidney disease guaranteed to shorten her life, Eiren Caffall processes life and death through space and sea.

But have you seen Studs?

The Trump administration has shut down a federal website on climate change, taking down congressionally mandated National Climate Assessment reports and extensive information on how global warming is affecting the country. @coveringclimatenow.org @sciencewriters.org www.latimes.com/environment/...

Crossed 20,000 words on the new novel today please clap.

Welp, kittens, it took over a decade, but here it is, baby’s first hate mail! (Pro tip, Sir: the ass is not where climate communism goes.)

Just saw this and felt so happy. Thank you for pulling this language out of the book.🌊

Just gave a book talk in the perfect library on the tiny island that’s the star of my memoir and the place I do my best writing. And it is foggy. Best day.

This is the kind of thing that climate-concerned folks have been thinking about for a decade or two—but most of us (me very much included) just kind of assumed that by the time this was clear to people like Powell, the conversation would be...really different from what it is now. Wild, indeed.

Missed marching with 100,000 siblings in my home city yesterday. But here, on a tiny island in Maine, there was also a march.

Read 'All the Water in the World' in nearly one sitting. Really enjoyed the book. a pretty straightforward post-apocalyptic story but beautifully written and kept me engaged throughout. Loved the themes in the book and I hope @eirencaffall.bsky.social writes more!

Today's blog post is a review of @eirencaffall.bsky.social 's ALL THE WATER IN THE WORLD, post-apocalyptic novel set in New York and environs. watershednotes.ca/2025/05/28/r...

@eirencaffall.bsky.social discussed her memoir THE MOURNER'S BESTIARY (@rowhousepub.bsky.social) on The Chris Hedges Report! page1m.co/43FyqOw 🧵(21/21) #memoir #chrishedges #booktube

It was a double double rainbow day. So, quadruple rainbow. Second, third, and fourth rainbows not pictured.

Chicago, I leave you alone for five minutes…

I'm biased, since I had the joy of fact-checking The Mourner's Bestiary, but you should absolutely read it and support @eirencaffall.bsky.social in any way you can:

While on the topics of books I recently read and loved, here are two more: The Mourner's Bestiary by Eiren Caffall, and Disabled Ecologies by Sunaura Taylor, both of which powerfully deal with the intersections between sick/disabled/injured people and sick/disabled/injured ecosystems.

Manuscript delivered 😮‍💨 — now begins development and editing and whatever lies beyond that. Every day I’ve gotten to do this, grateful beyond grateful. 🌱 Thank you, friends, family, for the years (5+) of support. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Just added "All the Water in the World" by @eirencaffall.bsky.social to my read list. One word grabbed me, and it's not hard to guess what. Hello, fellow hypercane, uh, fan! And one that hits NYC, at that. Dang. 🌀😬 #clifi #postapocalyptic 🪐📚💙 Beach read, definitely! bookshop.org/p/books/all-...

Audiobook narrator spotlight: Eunice Wong I have everything Eunice Wong has narrated on hold at the library. She's amazing. www.eunicewong.com "All the Water in the World" by @eirencaffall.bsky.social is another fantastic performance for an amazing read. So wonderful for a lover of museums like me.

All the Water in the World, a mind-bending novel by @eirencaffall.bsky.social I read in no time flat, paints a drowning world populated with characters who find a new way to begin by harkening to ideas and methods from the distant past. #sci #histfic #booksky www.jannalexander.com/post/end-of-...

Industrial fishing is the most destructive activity we undertake in the ocean, and doing it in more places is not great.

Oh, to be read like this! What a gift is this review of The Mourner’s Bestiary. Thank you, Mark DeVries and @christiancentury.bsky.social. Honored. www.christiancentury.org/books/wild-e...

I needed to write about something that’s giving me hope, so I wrote about Independent Bookstore Day which is this Saturday. lithub.com/something-go...

This Earth Day, here are three of my favorite CliFi (Climate Fiction) titles: ALL THE WATER IN THE WORLD by @eirencaffall.bsky.social , WILD DARK SHORE by Charlotte McConaghy, and THE GREAT TRANSITION by Nick Fuller Googins.

Mauna Loa hasn't published any daily CO2 updates since April 16th. Dear @climate.noaa.gov, what's going on??? gml.noaa.gov/webdata/ccgg...

What are we reading? Tyler recommends All The Water In The World by Eiren Caffall. @eirencaffall tinyurl.com/yw4y4k6s More staff picks: miltonlibrary.org

I just finished reading All the Water in the World by @eirencaffall.bsky.social, and I found it heartbreaking beautiful. It's left me thinking about the things we try to save when everything comes crashing down - history, memory, hope. What a gorgeous book.

The world knows about climate change mostly because of great American researchers, and that work has been largely centered at NOAA. Trump and Musk are now shutting down that brilliant work. They are contemptible, short-sighted, and sold out www.science.org/content/arti...

All the Water in the World by @eirencaffall.bsky.social is an excellent post climate disaster novel. Literary and thought provoking with a ton of heart. www.theretiredlibrarian.com/2025/04/all-...

The Center + allies filed a notice today of their intent to sue the city of Tacoma, Washington, for discharging toxic wastewater at levels that harm Puget Sound Chinook salmon, protected as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. More info: biodiv.us/3G0ULhi

So, I’ve been off book tour with a broken back for almost a month. Still recovering and stuck in bed. You know what would weirdly help? I’m at 1999 followers. I’ve never had that many followers anywhere in my admittedly indifferent social media participation. Wanna cheer me up & be my 2000th follow?

Recouperating from my broken vertebra and reading Timothy Eagan’s Big Burn. A mater class in nonfiction, as are all his books. And a reminder of the vast western part of this country in all its complex history.

But have you seen Studs?

This book by @eirencaffall.bsky.social is a narrative of sentences so beautiful you want to read them twice.

I talk a good game about being at peace with my disability, and knowing I’m part of movements even if I’m not in the street, but I have to fess up to the sorrow I feel for missing the marches today, even as it mixes with the joy of seeing your bodies in the streets fighting for mine.

Honored to be reviewed by @audiofilemagazine.bsky.social for my audiobook performance of my memoir and love letter to the Gulf of Maine and my family, The Mourner’s Bestiary. “Graceful and authentic.” High praise for a high wire act of learning a new skill. www.audiofilemagazine.com/reviews/read...
