when it comes to work by disabled authors, would you ever consider non-fiction, or are your interests squarely in the fiction space?

the other day i watched a child on the bus open a beauty package and she tapped the edge of the box with her nails before opening like how influencers with acrylics do to show you a product. she thought that was how you have to open things. a part of me died that morning

literally everyone who has studied fascist regimes says the first thing they do is obfuscate the truth, and CNN/BBC/NYT is indulging his bs by reporting on it without qualifiers that what he’s saying is a lie. he is lying!! to muddy the waters and defang news outlets!! stop helping him!!

STOP BELIEVING HIM. he says he’s a king, he says other leaders are dictators, and the press just indulges it by playing both sides. β€œwell is xyz real? we can’t be sure”. You are complicit in making it real! he is relying on the press to cover it as though it *could be* true, and you are! ffs

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it.

It’s fun trying to find that line between β€œI need to remain vigilant of the horrors afoot” and also β€œoh no my heart is racing and my jaw is making weird creaky sounds and I can taste pennies.”
