Hi! I'm Anna. I am a disabled and queer author of similarly queer and disabled YA and adult SFF. Will post a short synopsis of each, followed by representation you can expect and links where you can find that work. I will not cover every platform, but my books are available widely. Ready? Long 🧵:

In the summer in advance of grad school, I went through an advanced ADHD evaluation. The findings were inconclusive. The specialist surmised I don’t have classical ADHD, but ASD neighbors it in ways we don’t completely understand.

Babies are delicate. Their immune systems are not fully formed. When you say you want to adopt a wait and see sort of policy with their health, and they get sick with something serious, sometimes doctors are not going to be able to turn that around. You have to be proactive and preventative

Begging journalists to be direct and forthright in their word choice. Lives are at stake.
It's notable that, even in an article critical of RFK Jr., the reporter hedges, saying "There’s no good evidence of serious, widespread harm from the vaccine" rather than just "vaccines are safe." RFK Jr. has made a career of exploiting the ambiguity of the former.

Also, as always: romance, especially teen romance, is pretty uniformly derided thanks to misogyny. There are plenty of good critiques that don’t revolve around “eww a show trying to capture a (femme) demographic I don’t belong to”.
It is pretty painfully hetero. But don’t yell at kids.

God, I’m really upset how much hate I know Starfleet Academy is going to get. It’s Star Trek made for the CW-style crowd, which is PERFECTLY FINE. But because it’s not intended as mass audience aimed mainly at boomer dudes, it’s gonna face so much vitriol. Especially those kid actors. Angers me.

I recently saw a pretty insightful video that asked this question. Pointed out the dearth of color in cars now, in home decor, even how Christmas tree lights used to be multicolored and now most people use white.
And then he said that he couldn’t prove it, but the divergence kind of matches wealth.
