The reviews have been so wonderful & I’m honored to be featured alongside such beautiful stories ❤️

#booksky #disability #books
The release day graphic has a teal background with soft white line art illustrations of each story represented by an image. We see:

- A bird perched on a tree
- A row boat with waves around it
- A pumpkin with a shoe
- A cat looking sternly over their shoulder
- A potion next to a blackberry branch
- Cherries with mushrooms 
- A needle and thread
- A scalpel
- A pocketwatch
- A snake with their tongue stretched out
- Arrows
- A fish in water
- A small dragon next to branches
- A mug of coffee with a sword stirring it

At the top, it says in white letters „NEW RELEASE“

Below it is the cover:
The cover of Artifice & Access with teal-to-white medieval fantasy lettering. Above the title is the subtitle „an anthology of disability in fantasy“ and a red rose. Beneath it are illustrations from various stories including a large snake with a person standing on its head, a person in a wheelchair, and a person with a prosthetic leg, as well as smaller illustrations like a sword and a mushroom.

Beneath the cover is a darker teal banner with white text:

A Disability in Fantasy Anthology, now in ebook & paperback!

I haven’t posted about this yet, bc I haven’t had the energy, but Midnight Meadow & I have parted ways. S&OS is getting a remake and will be republished next year, but for anyone looking for more info, this is a great thread:

The really frustrating thing about my publisher is that I don't think this is a classic case of publishing not being as profitable as people think. It isn't, but I can count up the profits I know they made, subtract the few expenses they did have, and there still should've been lots left!

I want your empowering/supportive/disability justice messages, poems, and sentiments for the Disability in Dystopia Anthology!

I'm going to make them into art for the collection.

Submit a picture or typed message to [email protected] 💌 from now until November 1st!

This image contains text on a two-toned green background. Header text in white reads "Handwritten message submissions wanted". Below that, a ripped piece of paper has brown handwriting that reads "We will survive. Together!". 
In the bottom left there is a slightly askew neon green mail sticker with the image of a green gas cloud and a skull. To the right of that is light pink text that reads "Write an empowering and supportive disability justice message, poem, or sentiment. Take a picture & submit to dis-anthology@outlook.com It will be included in a collage inside the upcoming anthology!"
At the very bottom, centred, in bright green text, is the message "if you cannot hand write it.I can do that for you! Simply submit it as a typed message."

If you’re struggling with Long Covid, MCAS, POTS or other energy limiting chronic illness… I’ve put together a series of guides to try and help.

These conditions are poorly understood and more often than not we end up learning from our fellow patients.

An image of paul rudd wearing black framed glasses , wiping his eyes as he cries. he is wearing a gray t shirt, and is holding a book. The cover for Artifice & Access has been hastily pasted on top of the book cover in the original photo. 
Black text to the left of paul rudd reads "it's just so good!" and "really and honestly brings a tear to his eye".

Well, this isn't how I wanted to say this. I wanted to announce that I had ended my relationship with my publisher amicably, had my rights back, and would be re-releasing my books soon.

Instead I have to say that I have not received my rights back yet nor been paid.

Happy Trans History Month! ✨🏳️‍⚧️✨ We’re here and we’ve been here! Trans people have always existed and there's so much wisdom, strength, and talent we can find from our trans-ancestors. Here are some historical trans figures that helped shape our present and our future.
Square image with light pink and blue hues as a background. Captions say "Trans History Month" at the top left corner with "Trans Ancestors" in big purple lettering in the middle. Images include a pink rose in front of a light blue shape for enhancement at the bottom left, the Trans Lifeline logo on the bottom right, and featuring Lili Elbe on the right-hand side above the logo. Square image with light pink and blue hues as a background. Captions say "Trans History Month" at the top left corner with the Trans Lifeline logo on the top right corner. This post features Mother George. The caption in the post reads: Mother George was a  Black and Native midwife who lived in the Grey Valley of Idaho in the 19th century. In her 40 years of midwifery, she owned a ranch, practiced medicine, and assisted in the delivery of thousands of children. It wasn’t until she passed that we knew she was transgender. Square image with light pink and blue hues as a background. Captions say "Trans History Month" at the top left corner with the Trans Lifeline logo on the top right corner. This post features Amelio Robles Avila. The caption in the post reads: Amelio Robles Ávila was a transgender man who fought as a colonel in the Mexican Revolution, gaining recognition for his military service. Robles transitioned during the revolution and lived the rest of his life as a man, and married a woman in 1930. His gender identity was legally recognized long before such recognition was common, making him a prominent transgender figure in Mexico's history. Square image with light pink and blue hues as a background. Captions say "Trans History Month" at the top left corner with the Trans Lifeline logo on the top right corner. This post features Sweet Evening Breeze. The caption in the post reads: Sweet Evening Breeze, aka Miss Sweets, was a nurse and performer. She was well-known for her performances at speakeasies during the Prohibition era. Her home served as a sanctuary for queer runaways, helping them gain access to food, resources, and clothing. This has also earned her the nickname of a “fairy godmother” among the Lexington locals.

Small presses can be wonderful or a nightmare, and unfortunately you have to vet them yourself. There's no list out there, like there is for agents, of legit ones.

So here are a couple red flags that should make you run away from a small press—yes, even if you've been waiting so long for an offer:

"Normal" is social constuct 🦐

#Disability Justice fights for a world that rejects able body supremacy and not only welcomes but loves all bodies 💖

#art #illustration #disabledartist #cripart
a neon green prawn on a deep purple background, with hot pink words behind it that reads "what is Normal?". the background has faded prawns oriented differently to the green prawn.
a small green watermark in handwriting runs under the word "normal" and reads "Ella t holmes" with a small heart.

In Nazi Germany, commercial advertisements helped to normalize the concept of a "racial community", and individual consumption played a larger role in the Nazi worldview than is often assumed.
