TONIGHT (9/11) @ 7pm — Family wounds, humanity’s failures, how to care for one another at the end, and how to make a new beginning. @AlissaHattman presents SIFT. In conversation with lenizumas.bsky.social. powells.com/book/sift-9781…

My new novel, WOLF BELLS, is on its way into the world! I'm thrilled to be working with Madeline Jones at Algonquin Books & to have the brilliant MKS in my corner. 🎉🐺🔔🖤 "A bell is a cup... until it is struck" (Wire).

This fellowship is for an early-career writer of fiction with no published book yet or MFA. Honoring author & former One Story Managing Editor Adina Talve-Goodman, our hope is to give a writer outside of the fold a significant boost in their career. No fee, no rec letters. Apply!

The fight for marriage equality isn't over according to disability advocates. Disabled people who rely on programs like SSI face steep penalties if they choose to tie the knot. I wrote about it 19thnews. 19thnews.org/2023/09/disabi…

I’m so pumped up to see my community and their ingenious demonstration drawing attention to the #LoveTax no one should have to face the decision of choosing between the rights of marriage or their survival. End the policies that keep us in poverty. #EqualityNow

Disabled people are more than 25% of the population. Stop with the disability awareness slogans. We need ableism awareness.

Tonight, Portland! 🌿😍🌙✨☔️

This is absolutely devastating. Amber Thurman waited 20 hours for doctors to finally operate on her spreading infection, sinking blood pressure, and failing organs. By then, it was too late. If she had access to timely care, she would still be here. Abortion bans kill people.

Isabella Hammad's 2023 Edward Said memorial lecture was about narrative turning points. But after Oct 7th she had her own turning point & wrote an afterword that reorients herself to her own speech. We discuss both today Audio📻: tinhouse.com/podcast/isabel… Palestine Festival of Literature Penguin Books UK

Proud to call Maura Finkelstein a friend. Shame on Muhlenberg College for not defending free speech and intellectual inquiry, for not seeing a classroom as a place where students views might be challenged by unfamiliar narratives counter to them. A must read

If youre a disabled academic upset by the latest "conversation" on accoms, the DAC is here for you! Feel free to join our private Discord server of 900+ disabled academics (by DM or our website form) to vent about how exhausting this all is. #DisabilityTwitter #AcademicChatter

Thank you, Kaitlan Collins, for calling out Trump's ableist comments, including mentioning AAPD's condemnation. Unfortunately, these recent comments are part of a long history of Trump being horrible for disabled people. We need to be talking about that.

Cannot stop thinking about all the disabled people who literally can’t leave. Who will be left for dead in their homes or care facilities or hospitals. Whose demise will be a predictable result of eugenics, ableism, racism, climate denialism, and capitalism. What have we done.

For 40 hours, a 28-year-old mother prayed for doctors to help her get home to her daughter, but Texas doctors refused to treat her, fearing they would be breaking the law. A Trump abortion ban killed Josseli Barnica. propublica.org/article/jossel…
