This thread. I have been a disabled artist since ‘09 and taught and mentored many disabled artists.
Disabled art contains v sophisticated philosophies, far beyond many abled ppl’s understanding, & the assumption that we need AI bc ‘we can’t’ is L-O-L. Also, access aides for artists—humans!—exist.
We’re thrilled to announce a series of four online writing and translation workshops led and curated by Wasafiri’s Translator in Residence (Endangered Languages), @juanapoetry.bsky.social.
Workshops will take place monthly from June-September.
The lit bot grifters have progressed from flattery to negging. It's particularly hilarious if you write weird books - dude, you can't hurt me!
One of my favourite pieces of writing
Don't write a novel called Vehicle, because you'll get endless spam about your vehicle's insurance.
Don't write a memoir called Fair, because you'll get endless spam about fair insurance for your vehicle.
"NEWS MAN CREATE HOSTILE WORK ENVIRONMENT BY SAYING JOURNALISM SHOULD BE GOOD. MANAGEMENT FEEL UNSAFE AROUND FACTS."
I think "It is the food for a celebration, such as when a woman becomes 47" is the new "She is maybe 22, / like a snake in the zoo"
Catríona Lally joins us at WCLF on 11 July when she and @jencalleja.bsky.social will be discussing writing and class with @ermurray.bsky.social in a #FreeEvent in Bantry Library

My new favourite medieval fact: there was a late 14th/early 15th-century author named ‘Goblin Person’ (Gobelinus Persona) #goblinmode
