the way some people submitting ai generated stories will not even expend the effort to change the font after copy+pasting from chatgpt is so baffling to me.
like why bother expending the effort to submit the story in the first place? it's not going to be published lol

my new medicine drug makes me feel like my brain is a warm, unbaked dough ball. plus I forgot how to find emojis on my phone and cried. so all in all a great outcome for all group chats, I'd say
My reaction excactly! Had to temper that when paypal asked me to describe the issue, but genuinely I'm in shock 😅
Didn't think I'd be spending this week disputing a whopping $583 PayPal charge from some random company, but here I am 😭😭 It is finally under review, so fingers crossed it is reversed soon🤞
Big fat heavy agree!
you miscast one teensy little spell and suddenly everyone and their aunt is calling it a "blood moon" and a "precursor of doom"
Ha! Perfect, thank you! 👀
the kind of wisdom one would hope to find in anxient tomes 🩸
Also, it's a really visually beautiful film! if you can handle blood and body parts 😂
Thank you! I went through the phase of being obsessed with Greek and Egyptian mythology as a kid, and Medusa is a favourite 😂
Hot take? I love Guillermo del Toro for his monsters, but we need to talk about how his adaptation of Frankenstein engages with disability and monstrosity 🤔

oh gosh, dare I ask? 😅 is this the conversation about being pulled out of the narrative by the presence of someone using a wheelchair?
your way with words never fails to make me smile

a 2026 medicine drug mechanics thought experiment:
what do you do when your symptoms are both the need for the medicine drug and the obstacle to getting said medicine drug?
today I am visited by the three spirits
1) medicine drug past (ran out)
2) medicine drug present (suffering the consequences of running out) and
3) medicine drug future (dreading the trek in 36 degree heat to get the scripts filled)
Need someone to be a dork with me & talk about the selective activism where people engage with disability only within fictional worlds, directing empathy toward imagined characters while neglecting the needs, voices, and rights of disabled people in real life (Vicarious Fictivism, if you will) 🤓
everyone knows that EDS is stored in the moles 😅
I am so happy to have had the pleasure of working with Kara and her brilliant story for another anthology!! 💖
I am so so glad you picked it up!! It is so important 😭💖
I just woke up from a dream where a doctor decided that treating my dislocated shoulder had to involve shaving off all my moles.
And you know... having paid obscene amounts of money to see specialists who have no idea how EDS works... 🫢😂
oh I enjoyed this one!! yay for getting a physical copy too 😁💖
let me know when you find A&A and I can send you a bonus short story!! 😁
I would stop buying new books but... you know... the curse
We’re 2/3 funded!!!
Can you help us make it to 75% today?
what is this "too many" books you speak of?
remember when you had to ask your parents for money, for permission to go places, for rides?
many disabled people are in constant negotiation with their bodies!!
