Y'all @gcbwrites.bsky.social made this little graphic for the @vineleavespress.bsky.social sale and it's so cute🥺
Also I love that Kai is listed as coming-of-age. The whole cast of Scars & Starlight are in their mid-twenties, but I feel like my twenties were such a growth period for me.

You can’t tell if someone is disabled just by looking at them.
There’s no such thing as the “genuinely disabled”.
You are not entitled to a person’s entire medical history just so you can decide whether to believe them or not.
People are not faking disability, most are trying to fake being well.

Evening before Thanksgiving, our ginger kitty (L) had a severe allergic reaction. Emergency vet saved him, but he wasn’t bouncing back like we’d hoped, and a follow-up visit for further testing revealed pneumonia. We would deeply appreciate help with affording his care. ❤️

So I published a novella this past October where the MC falls for his best friend's twin he *really* can't like and tbh I think Kai is instantly attracted to Ray's ever-present awkwardness and obvious anxiety because that's pretty immediate😅

If you’re looking for a meaningful way to acknowledge today, head to my 🔗 to give. Diana is fundraising for her mom’s cancer treatment, Mo'tasem is hoping for essentials for him and his fiancé, and Basel needs help with funds for a new tent. Remember, Palestinians are indigenous, too❤️
Sending love to my Indigenous and Native friends and mutuals this week.
Friends, please remember this is a day of mourning for many of our Indigenous and Native neighbors for a very good reason. Please be respectful of that, and them.
