I don't have words for how horrified and repulsed I am by that garbage POTS study.
This kind of stuff is why I was so ashamed and terrified of telling anyone I was chronically ill. This is why I will be unpacking internalized ableism for the rest of my life.
I could write a very long thread about why this kind of BS in the medical and scientific community surrounding POTS defined my adolescence and made me into the writer and person I am today, but ONE FOR ALL's author's note says it best. When I was at my most sick ...
perhaps, and I'm just thinking out loud here, if my middle school science fair project required my volunteers than a 'scientific' study had subjects, perhaps the study is not so 'scientific.'
But who am I to say it's not like I've had POTS for over half my life oH WAIT

I'm not saying that *every* book you include in a #DisabilityPrideMonth post has to be written by an openly disabled author... but maybe at least half the list/stack of books should be? And if it isn't, you should reflect on why that is?
Also maybe read what disabled folks have said about the representation in the titles you're featuring?
Seeing books with actively harmful representation be recommended for #DisabilityPrideMonth over books by disabled authors writing about their lived experiences is a gut punch.
This is the bare minimum. The lowest of bars.
And yet.
And yet, this applies to half the IG posts with book recommendations/displays for #DisabilityPrideMonth.

I feel like I blinked and all of a sudden Disabled Kidlit Writers went from 30 authors to nearing 300. What a gift this group has been. What an absolute gift it's been, this past year and a half, to cheer on all these talented authors.
I will be forever thankful.
The day Disabled Kidlit Writers went live, I received a pass on ONE FOR ALL. Like many of the previous passes, much of it was praise of the book, my writing, what OFA would represent. But that, when it came down to it, they didn't know how to fit OFA on their list/market it.
I'd just finished a class that was part of a @sackettstreet workshop. I was sitting on the subway and thinking how, even though I was willing to fight for my dream as long as it took, that didn't mean I wasn't tired.

when I am fully awake I will hopefully be able to verbalize my thoughts more but currently all I have is AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
okay still not fully awake (curse you jetlag), but.
Watching @tracydeonn receive the accolades and success that she and LEGENDBORN deserve has been a highlight in this very difficult year. Not only because of the rep LB provides, not only because Tracy's my friend...
