Disabled bodies are so odd (with affection and annoyance). I rarely fall asleep before 2am anymore. Also, if I wake up before 8am, my mental health is suddenly fantastic. Solution: … stop sleeping? 🧐

Oh no, I’ve fallen in love with a character who’s only going to appear in one chapter 😭 Abort mission. This novel is about Albrecht now. Scrap the previous 40k words. #amwriting #WriterSky #amdrafting #queerwriters #disabledwriters
I can’t tell if my WIP is an ADHD trap or treasure cove, but apparently I can’t write a walking library dude (literally) without researching something every two sentences. Today: Ural Mountains, Arctic insects, types of trains, Trans Siberian Railway, types of snow, the ballet “Giselle”. #amwriting

Lia Pas@liapas.bsky.social · 3w agoWhat if movement didn't have to be big to matter? Unbound is a film woven from 20 bodies, 20 stories, and 1 thread of connection. Join us for the premiere on July 29th at 6:30 PM ET. www.eventbrite.com/e/unbound-gl... A reflection on my process for this film on my blog: liapas.com/2026/07/11/u...
The attitude that there are people whose suffering is fine has seriously gained traction in the last year and from what I've seen of it, my criticisms of that attitude are really valid. Either everyone means everyone or you're just recreating the same harmful dynamics on repeat.
I have officially DM’d my first proper two-shot and it was awesome 😄 We played Girl Frame, which meant I basically got to entertain my friends by psychologically torturing them. 10/10, would recommend. #ttrpg #girlframe
The portal opens tomorrow… are you ready? We want horror stories up to 6,000 words, including flash. Originals and reprints. We pay $0.08 per word. Simultaneous submissions are accepted so long as you keep us informed. More details on our website (below).
On the one hand, PMDD has been kicking my ass today. On the other, I’m apparently as old as the word booty call and gender confirmation surgery, so go me 😄🎉

One of my good friends in DR Congo and I have organized a fundraiser to feed 20 Congolese families, and provide care for malaria and ebola. Please share and give if you can! Even $30 (25€) is lifesaving! www.gofundme.com/f/help-feed-... #MutualAid #FreeCongo

My newest micro fiction “Proud of Me” dips into disabled grief and nostalgic reclamation territory. Check it out here: stitchesmicrofiction.substack.com I’m posting a new story under 200 words weekly + prompt to write your own 😊 #disabled #queer #WriterSky #📚 #lgbtq+ #transwriters #disabledwriters
If I could just mint a new tradition, it'd be this: When you turned 18, it'd be a rite of passage to declare your new name, and your childhood name normally became your middle name. And then any time as an adult that you want to make a symbolic new beginning you just take a new name.
Long shot, but I hope it's fair. I'm looking to trade sensitivity readings. I am trans, nonbinary, fat, polyamorous, aroace, and research trans issues in pop culture. Looking for a sensitivity reading for an Ethiopian American character in a queer fantasy novel. Glad to provide more information.
Here at the end of Disability Pride Month, I say: not just disability pride. Also disability wrath, disability grief, disability defiance. And moreover: disability ease, disability safety, disability leadership, disability joy, disability creativity, disability liberation, and disability justice.
Very proud to have a story included in this amazing anthology, which is out NOW! 16 stories of wildly varying dystopias by disabled authors + 1 essay and 16 darkly hilarious posters by the amazing @ellatholmes.bsky.social, who edited and illustrated the collection. www.kobo.com/au/en/ebook/...
You gotta love that I can watch two whole documentaries about a gay icon only to find out about his 13-year-long relationship with his assistant who was with him till he died and then dedicated his life to what killed him from Wikipedia 😑 Thank you, Straights.
theres this one tumblr post ive seen talking about that phenomenon but w fiction writing that I think about often
I’m doing novel research into Rudolf Nureyev right now (one documentary down, another to go. Fascinating!) and stumbled over this absolute gem of modern ballet performance: youtu.be/2SMmL6kIx-w?... Breathtaking!

Okay. Leftists and liberals both. It’s the end of Disability Pride Month, which means it’s high time you learned something. A deeply problematic expression I saw just this morning: “this is why forced sterilization should be allowed”—comes out of people on “our” side way too often. Let’s talk.
Every year, my brain picks one horrifically sad song and goes “That’s my happy relaxation tune!” and then I play it on repeat, scaring algorithms and people alike 😄 Last year, it was Mack Lorén’s cover of Let Down. Now it’s Tom Odell’s Black Friday.
Hundreds of thousands of people have died already because of this man, with millions more likely in the next few years. "Carried away" my ass. The Hague for all of them.

Happy book birthday to this anthology! @ellatholmes.bsky.social has done it again! Where Artifice & Access was a love letter to disabled people, Why Aren't You Dead Yet? is a hate letter to the systems that want disabled people to disappear.
This Must-Have Monday I have EIGHT new books to ft! Incl 🧑🦽 disabilities in dystopias by @ellatholmes.bsky.social et al! 🕰️ clockmakers and forest lords from @elizmanderson.com! 🐹 magic portals and hamsters turning into men with @bunnyisawriter.bsky.social!

This isn't *just* the fault of AI- AI has become popular in part bc of the concept of "talent". "Talented" implies effortless, magic, innate ability. If you're not born with it, you're fucked- so of course you need AI Art is a *skill*. Skills require practice. Normalizing "talent" *led to* AI.

This is such a great series for the horrifying mindfuck of the unrealistic beauty standards Millenials grew up with. Highly recommend! Though major TW for eating order discussions. youtube.com/shorts/VheiD...

It's berry season and you have the tiniest friends. These critically endangered babies are Egyptian tortoises that hatched on July 4 and 6, 2026. Currently, our Egyptian tortoises are living behind the scenes in a warm and cozy habitat with lots of attention from their dedicated animal keepers.
