you should read the Bible because if nothing else it will give you a very full set of language to talk about religious hypocrites and the iniquity of the rich and powerful

"There are disabled writers making fiction that ruptures the canon… There are disabled writers building everything because no one else would. Because they know how to survive. And because survival isn’t the end point.”

A brilliant piece by @tinywriterlaura.bsky.social on Dystopian Medicine

"it’s when society feels at its most unstable that we find ourselves turning to the darker genres of fiction... because these stories provide us with a space in which to explore our growing fears."

Reactor Magazine @reactorsff.bsky.social · 10d

Drawing from stories such as Hiron Ennes' Leech and Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go, author @tinywriterlaura.bsky.social reviews the popularity of medical horror, placing it alongside the return of dystopian fiction:

I was looking at my x-rays at the dentist and said “It’s cool being able to see your own insides” and now I’m on some ‘potential serial killer’ list

As Julia Bascom writes,

“…[the parents] think the problem was that they treated their child like they were intellectually disabled, & they weren’t. But that’s not the problem. The problem is that they thought their child was intellectually disabled, and so they didn’t treat them like a person.” 40/

Many autistic people have clinical-level anxiety, and may learn to self-soothe through stimming or creating elaborate, predictable, & therefore safe, routines. Try to understand why your child may be behaving differently than their peers, instead of making them feel bad about their differences. 35/

Also: Become educated about autistic learning styles. Not all autistic kids are math prodigies or "little professors." In fact, studies show that most don’t have superior math skills, but rather average or below-average math skills. (I KNOW.) 36/

Oh, that's lovely to hear, thank you.

I cried at the end of Ch9 too (and I'm not usually a crier when it comes books). I adore wee Hecate 🖤

Childhood books & television really led me to believe that the isolation of illness was going to at least be tempered by thrilling, shimmering time slips, faithful little ghost friends & ancient spirits of the deep green earth visiting neglected wisdoms on my languishing, bed-mouldering, lonely self
