hello friends, exciting news that I don’t think I’ve mentioned on here yet! My #debutnovel, FAILURE TO COMPLY, is going to be published in spring 2024 with featherproof books.

Does anyone (#litodon #literarymastodon) know of venues that would take unpublished excerpts of a #hybridgenre #speculativefiction novel? I think with #madness , #disabilityjustice , #abolition , and #antipsychiatry + use #poetics heavily. Tia!!

Is anyone else kinda on here, kinda off? I find myself anxious about (re)turning to Mastodon these days, then going on twitter and finding myself feeling empty. I want to have a home someplace as my author/editor-self, but I guess I need to be more intentional about finding my footing/community around here. Anyone else feeling this way?

#bookishadvent belated day 23, #smallpress edition is [...] by Ava Hoffman –– Hoffman's visually and topically experimental poetry book toys with expectations of legibility levied on trans narratives. This is #transMadness, recoded.

#bookishadvent day 22, #smallpress edition is Heavenly Breakfast by the incomparable Samuel r Delany. This book-length essay frankly, humorously discusses queer communal living in 1967-68, and approaches its subject matter with a radically anticarceral, #antipsychiatry, and youth-liberation perspective.

#bookishadvent day 21, #smallpress edition is a small #zine with a huge impact - “every thug is a lady” by julia eff. I picked it up on a whim while in high school, and it transformed my relationship with gender(lessness) early in my journey as a trans person. It still means the world to me.
