  1. 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    Does anyone (#litodon #literarymastodon) know of venues that would take unpublished excerpts of a #hybridgenre #speculativefiction novel?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!!

  2. #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.

  3. #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.

  4. #bookishadvent day 19, #smallpress edition! in honor of my bday, i'm sharing one of my all-time favorite books. ever. Today's book is Salt Fish Girl by Larissa Lai, a #queercrip #canlit novel that fuses myth, poetics, & radical speculation + queer dreaming to imagine alternatives to eugenic racial capitalism. I love this book more than I can say. Read it.

  8. #bookishadvent , #smallpress edition, day 15 is "Roving Pack," by Sassafras Lowry, a queer, #selfpublished #epistolary novel about a working-class trans teen navigating the demands of a hostile cisheterosexual world as well as the paternalistic "care" of the trans/troubled youth industry.

  9. #bookishadvent , #smallpress edition day 13 is “Everything Saved Will be Last,” a #poetry #chapbook by my friend and writing buddy Isaac Pickell. Pickell is a complex and lyrical poet whose work examines the nexus of race, migration, and Madness, and this chap from #BlackLawrencePress is a truly amazing debut.
