If you’re interviewing a disabled author for a #DisabilityPrideMonth piece:

Ask a question about writing craft. Ask a question about storytelling without making it about representation. Ask a silly question!

We are artists too and can speak about more than disability rep. #booksky

A reminder that the πŸŠπŸ‘Ή won’t see your jokes about whether he’s using a catheter or leg braces, but your disabled friends who use those devices will.

Shout out to anyone who writes books.

I love when social media memory features are like, β€œHere’s a photo of you and someone you once considered your closest friend!”…and it’s someone who is now a total stranger to you.

…anyway, if this resonates with you, you’re really gonna like my next book.

I saw a post about the new MacBook Airs, and then my laptop wouldn't turn on. I thought Tim Cook had cursed me, but it just needed to be plugged in.

*shakes fist at Apple* Me and my 5-year-old Air live to see another day!

I honestly think if I was able to socialize with 10 or more golden retrievers for a few hours, it would heal me.

I suspect I’m hardly alone in this, but my pre-existing mental health struggles, on top of SAD, and the general state of the world has me down BAD. 🫠
