disability, poetry, and sometimes some dragons. I'm a librarian and academic interested in cripping your kidlit. All opinions are my own.

It's out! Thank you @ladyredjess and @amandatink for helping 'Who Gets to Survive the Apocalypse? Disability Hierarchy in Post-Disaster Fiction in Australian YA' out in the world as part of this issue. Always love to write about how #CripLit & #kidlit help us imagine crip futures

@hipdeep_inpie Okay, so now I'm curious!

[Kit Ryan @limpinglibrary]

@OverlandJournal @_budgie Wasn't expecting to cry today, and yet! Amazing. I always love your dialogue.

[Kit Ryan @limpinglibrary]

This one's mine! Looking forward to seeing some you there in person or online

10. What can the Air Temples in Avatar: The Last Airbender tell us about performative accessibility? Can the linguistic case structure of a fictional language help us express real-world feelings around cure and crip time? In a world full of magic, who are miracle cures even for?

[Kit Ryan @limpinglibrary]

Can't wait!

The only thing people can imagine about disabled people is our deaths and they’re usually the cause of it.

[Kit Ryan @limpinglibrary]

@nicolaz Can confirm they look very good together, all the way from Australia!

@amandatink I started the process to apply for the NDIS and ended up having panic attacks. I knew it was finish the PhD OR these forms, not both. I think it was around the time I asked for supports for keratoconus, which, because it is not related to my CP, my LAC didn't think existed.

@emmawhatman ...We just won't talk about my endnote library.

[Kit Ryan @limpinglibrary]

@emmawhatman Thesis intro draft is finally, FINALLY coming together. This is the last big bit of writing before submission in September and has been giving me ulcers.

[Kit Ryan @limpinglibrary]

@_crisRhodes All I want to do is play it and all I am doing is grading

[Kit Ryan @limpinglibrary]

@amandatink @westernsydneyu I'm so sorry you have to put up with this.

[Kit Ryan @limpinglibrary]

@luketothestars Yeah this is one of my sore spots too

[Kit Ryan @limpinglibrary]

@REIYL_Community Oh no. I am so sorry. He was a beautiful person and incredibly kind to me when I was a jet-lagged Australian in Glasgow.

[Kit Ryan @limpinglibrary]

@sunderjournal Oh I'm so honoured. Thank you

[Kit Ryan @limpinglibrary]

@SarahStivens A part of me always hopes Steven will come back even though I know he's gone.

[Kit Ryan @limpinglibrary]

@luketothestars Absolutely

[Kit Ryan @limpinglibrary]

@SarahStivens The Sunbearer Trials / Aiden Thomas. Glorious queer normative stuff that I'd marketed as a mix of the hunger games and Percy Jackson but is SO MUCH more than the sum of its parts
