@StrangeHorizons is running a #crippoet special issue at the end of December. I need your poems reclaiming physical disability in a SF/F context. No fees ever. Payment $40 on acceptance. If you have trouble accessing our portal, message me. https://t.co/nEKS9h9Y6J #embodiment
I wrote (a little) about the incoherence and disorientation of being profoundly disabled:

The poets mentioned here are among my faves (i.e. Zero Shade) but seriously. What is the deal with a series focusing on body image and not even trying to consciously centre and amplify disabled perspectives?
@McrWritingSchl: be better. #CripPoet https://t.co/jmA5SM82lA
A Body of Words: join us @anthonyburgess Foundation for three evenings exploring body image from critical & creative perspectives through discussion & #poetry - with our @HelenMort @AndrewPoetry @muzna_rahman & guests

this is a fantastically insightful tweet and raises for me an issue I've been meaning to mention: when you're functionally excluded from normative poetry interaction by severe disability, you don't get to find out who the abusers are. #CripPoet https://t.co/ppf35uuZJu
Any journal, any festival, any prize, any development scheme that is trying to have a conversation about diversity without including (A) people w/ disabilities & (B) hypermarginalised profoundly restricted disabled people ... is failing at intersectional diversity. #CripPoet
I am profoundly! profoundly! shocked that @poetrymagazine still isn't responding on the subject of their un-diversity and #ableism. What's it gonna take, my dudes. #CripPoet https://t.co/VgoDY9RuIp
You personally are fantastic and 100% deserve to be published everywhere! ❤ But here is @poetrymagazine's regular callout for failing to engage with their horrible record on ableism & ignoring numerous requests to open discourse about it. #DiversityMatters #CripPoet https://t.co/UFSeFdaQfn
online streaming of readings should be a standard thing. like a baseline expectation. that is the only way for profoundly restricted & disabled authors to be virtually "present". #CripPoet #problemsofdisabledartists
problems of disabled artists: it's terribly hard to tell the truth about being so sick you want to die. there is a great inclination to spare everyone the truth. #CripPoet
So just to be quite clear. I realise my poetry reads more on the highfalutin' side but I am 100% #teamhollie @holliepoetry because wtf: it doesn't have to be identical to what YOU YOURSELF WRITE to be worthwhile, fascinating, valuable #CripPoet
So what is Verve doing to actively include disabled poets, especially the hypermarginalised, severely disabled minority who are usually 100% cut off from participating?
Why am I so often the only one asking. #CripPoet https://t.co/qUtxiFoYU7
problems of disabled artists: the gaping hole that is the absence of comprehensive diversity programmes for us, even where established festivals and mentoring schemes are otherwise working towards diversity. Forgotten faction. #CripPoet
coalition of disabled artists will continue to be fractured, painful and limited until we are able to accept that different illness experiences are valid: some disabled creators don't like how I tell my story, but the fact is, it's mine to tell as and how I will. #CripPoet
I don't think this is unfixable, but for god's sake: come to the table. Stop fantasising about us. Start talking to us. #CripPoet

Sometimes i literally lie awake at night being furious about ableism in poetry. #CripPoet

problems of disabled artists: inability to maintain consistency in activism aimed at increasing our own visibility, inclusion, prominence—how to be a strong voice if you're only well enough to speak 25% of the time? #CripPoet
I need to employ a new PA! 20 hrs/week, coastal Hampshire. Please pass on to anyone who might be interested – job is compatible with being a student, creative, etc. #CripPoet
