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!

Must-Have Monday #297

Disabilities in dystopias, queer forest lords, and – hamsters turning into men?!

Can’t recommend this anthology enough! Some truly great talent 👀 Just finished “Someone’s Gotta Shovel It” by @sallysultzman.bsky.social and now I can’t believe now I’ve gotta wait till 2027 if I wanna read her debut novella coming from @apexmag.bsky.social 😭

I need to save some money for a chair that won't exacerbate my dislocating joints and migraines while I work, so I'm now taking 🧜‍♂️MERMAID COMMISIONS!🧜‍♀️ ko-fi.com/c/40c0e2f663 I also offer wizard commissions, and thus have invented the best economy ever known to humans. and i'm very humble about it 😘

Scylla will be participating in #smallpitch again! Pitches are open to all unagented authors in all categories/genres - however, we will obviously only be looking for sapphic specfic! It's happening on JULY 13-19, 2026! @smallpitch.org

Someone emailed me about this so I will post here too: I always price these Anthologies as low as is literally possible for libraries specifically, so if you can/want to/need to, please do request it from your local libraries! 🥰

there is a very specific series (derogatory) that, if I encounter anything about it, i will immediately devolve into "AND ANOTHER THING—" territory and it is a curse for me and everyone who is unlucky enough to listen

am I allowed to laugh when someone says "I think [insert author name] just wrote this book to be enjoyed" in defence of literally any critical thought regarding writing as a craft. because I can and I will

dislocated my thumb doing the dishes too hard. dislocated my thumb a second time doing the dishes even harder because i thought "you can't do this to me" and ignored the first time i just dislocated my thumb doing the dishes too hard

i watched The Minecraft Movie yesterday and i'm really interested in how Jack Black feels about the fact that everything he appears in has at least 2-3 fatphobic comments for "comedy". what the hell are we doing

Bullying works!! I have a chapter outline and am thinking about Plot (some will say this is a miracle)

Have you ever wanted to bully an author? Now's your chance! Why? I am struggling to find motivation at the moment + I work well under pressure. This is healthy, right? 😂 So wield your peer pressuring skills! Have your grandma shame me! Give me a judgemental look! Have fun!!! #booksky #writersky

i need a loaf of bread where every single slice has the crust and texture of an end piece. i yearn for the crunch

can someone please talk me into/out of just commiting to self publishing my novels

where were these so-called ""screwworms"" when I needed to assemble my new chest of drawers??

If you got AI to write your book you didn’t write your book. Stephen King wrote your book. Octavia Butler wrote your book. Jilly Cooper wrote your book. Dav Pilkey wrote your book. Lisa Jewell wrote your book. I wrote your book. Every author whose work has been digitised wrote your book. You did not

I hate being so unwell that I can barely move, because it means my brain is just slouching in a gooey puddle of "i want/need to do this, this, this—" with no outlet 😮‍💨

I enjoy Natalie's work so much, and think everyone else should too! 💖

When a 19th century female coal miner rescues an air sprite stuck in a human's body, they can't deny their attraction to one another. ARC Signup link: forms.gle/EXJTBZfXdpaS...

Blimey! That looks great! Let's see, a hint... outer space and inner space are both involved.
