Daniel Lawson @DanielLaw1998: Disabled parking should only be valid during business hours 9 to 5, Monday to Friday. I cannot see any reason why people with genuine disabilities would be out beyond these times. Jennifer Lee Rosman @JenLRossman: We’re disabled, Daniel, we’re not werewolves

7 years later and I still whisper, “We’re disabled, Daniel, not werewolves” to myself like a sacred mantra whenever I see a non-disabled person discover ableism like it’s the latest hipster indie band.

My threads account got suspended and I had to delete it, but I had a lot more author and bookish interaction over there than I do here. So if you’re interested in queer, sapphic, disabled, romance, genre, writing or reading, give me a shout!

Immense gratitude and awe goes to my incredible design team for the inside and outside of this book: Aarushi Menon, Donna Cheng, and Jo Anne Metsch, plus everyone at Dial Press for being so fantastic. I can’t wait for yall to read it!!

A yellow, orange, pink, red, and blue boom cover with two illustrated women on it. The book is called ALICE RUE EVADES THE TRUTH by Emily Zipps. To be frank it is stunning.

A photograph of a big white dog lying on a couch looking wistfully at the book cover for ALICE RUE EVADES THE TRUTH with a caption that says “Frank the dog says: preorder Alice Rue now!”

Cover reveal!!!

Absolutely over the moon to reveal the cover for my debut sapphic romcom ALICE RUE EVADES THE TRUTH!!! Preorders are now open (link in bio) so you might as well buy this bi4butch romance about loneliness, the rain, and a really big dog right now?!

Today fucking blows. That is all.

This is SO gorgeous and creepy!!!

Gorgeous!!

If I could change her name I literally would for this purpose!!! I gotta try first I guess. I never have!

Normal sapphic romance problem: having to use names so often in s*x or intimate scenes because pronouns are unclear

Next level problem: one character’s name ends in an S so you have to use an ugly ass possessive ALL THE TIME.

“She takes Ames’s hand and kisses Ames’s head” UGHHHHHH HATE

“I think sometimes genre is a code word to keep us in our place as artists, and I just want to encourage people to do what they’re passionate about” - Beyoncé after winning Best Country Album for “Cowboy Carter”

Here is an interesting adjective quirk that you probably aren’t even aware you are doing.

In English, adjectives seem to follow a specific order:

opinion - size - age - shape - color - origin - material - purpose - noun

This tracks

If you want to read a new book coming out but don't want to buy it, a great thing you can do is ask your local library to order it. The more requests they get, the more likely they are to acquire it and then lots of people will get to read it who othewise wouldn't.

I see authors sheepishly announcing books, or apologizing for good news.

Friends: we’re enduring an onslaught of censorship and bigotry. I am PROUD that you wrote anything. Please yell about what you're doing. Art is a fuel to keeps many of us going.

The times are bad so maybe you need to see my dog

Writers-

If you are using Microsoft Word 365 and now have “CoPilot” showing up in your toolbar—that is AI.

My tech friend sent me the steps to turn off CoPilot on a Mac.

Protect your books!

So the worst genre is definitely dystopian nonfiction

Born to write.

Cursed with a day job.
