Thank you everyone for your kind words and support, this has literally been years in the making. SKINSCRIBING is about grief, stories, and unexpected endings -from my own family history, I promise you that most have no power or warning when the world as they know it ends.

In my latest for @publisherswkly.bsky.social, I interviewed 10 LGBTQ+ authors about their upcoming nonfiction or historical fiction books about queer and trans community building and safety in the face of oppression and violence.

there is a limit to how much grief i can passively hold in my body at any given time and i worry that i've long since passed it

fractured my wrist hitting the wishlist button too hard

Those who want to control your uterus deserve to be turned inside out, but since I can't do that, I made a free game about how to do an abortion safely at home. Drop a review if you've played! store.steampowered.com/app/2825000/... Phones: qrco.de/bepceD

After reading the surgery notes, even my surgeons were confused how even a bad fall on black ice could result in a shattered ankle and a broken tibia in 3 places. More recently after an X-ray, doctor told me she noticed signs of a prior break, as if there were weak points where the bone never healed

In 2024 I started writing poetry again, the thing I originally went to college for. I find that poetry and comics are the closest kin in regards to craft, but it had been a decade since I’d taken poetry seriously again. These came out in Mizna’s CATASTROPHE issue, which I can’t recommend enough.

Unfortunately ya girl overheated telling fortunes. This was my first time doing street theater and I had so much fun 😊 Here's my mask in construction with a Bunger butt mannequin. Wishlist Skinscribing if you didn't catch me! store.steampowered.com/app/4462890/...

Leg update - Good news, got my staples out (hurt like a bitch but definitely more comfortable without incisions closed with staples) Bad news, will be wheelchair/bedbound for another month at least…if anyone has tips for things to do that won’t aggravate my healing bones, would love them.

Nadia Shammas@nadiashammas.bsky.social · 6mo ago

Major life update but if I am late in responding to you it’s because last month I slipped on black ice and unfortunately broke/shattered my right leg in 4 places. I had reconstructive surgery and have been recovering at home, will hopefully be walking by the summer. Am slowly getting back to it ❤️‍🩹

If you see “Anna” out at GDC, especially at the park, you can get a peek at something we’ve been cooking, and also a lovely little souvenir with art by @valkwise.bsky.social. Be careful tho. Invocations of fate or fortune invites varied results…blessing or otherwise is a matter of interpretation.

Anna Krasner@slothysunday.bsky.social · 6mo ago

Coming soon to a GDC near you. And I will not be giving explanations

Toss a great person and writer a couple bucks while they recover from an injury!

Are there actual Palestinians in the superman film or is it mostly a vague gesture, I have not seen it and cannot imagine it non-cynically

It is genuinely tragic to me that white marginalized individuals keep showing time and time again that they champion the rights of and can comprehend, in theory, the issues of almost every other intersectionality except when you’re Palestinian. I can see your humanity and you can’t see mine

“Palestinians being alive and upset at being annihilated are ruining the vibes…maybe if they died quietly I can go back to the good old days when I didn’t have to feel complicit or had. Maybe they deserve it for bothering me?” - ultimately the argument Contrapoints and her supporters are making here

Contrapoints comments on leftists picking up another “lost cause” in the case of Palestine is so disgusting that I’m starting to understand why she spotlights so many hours on the concept of leftist infighting…it’s all just aesthetic tone policing at the end of the day. Delete ur channel please

Yeah dude people love it when nonwhite folks win awards, they’re terrified of not handing us awards even

Kind of a joke kind of not. I’ve been watching the HThree thing unfolding and have been thinking about it since 2016. I kind of want to write about it, especially in the terms of what it was like from the Palestinian lens, how it mirrors everything honestly. Is this of interest, or is it over?

At 3pm on 9 February 2025, booksellers Mahmoud and Ahmad Muna were accosted by undercover Israeli police. They were arrested at the Educational Bookshop, handcuffed and taken to prison. Over 250 books were confiscated.
