A Second Home at Substack

Hazy photo of children on a playground as background to the title and first sentence of a Substack post. Text reads, "Focal Point: Notes on Getting a Grip. Which stories get told when so much is at stake?" With a link to the post.

Hi friends! I’ve recently launched a Substack newsletter: Out of Order: Notes on Chronic Illness. It will be where posts on ME/CFS, Long COVID, and chronic illness live. I will continue to share my experiences navigating these conditions in the context of disability justice. The newsletter will also be a place to practice creativity and courage so we can give the beloved future a fighting chance.

This here smirkpretty blog is not going away! I will continue to publish poetry and other creative writing from time to time. But given the current assaults on science, medical research, health care, and disability rights — and on the very existence of the most vulnerable people in our communities — I expect to be doing a great deal of writing on these concerns. So please come visit me over there. You can subscribe for free or just go and have a look around.

As always, thank you so much for reading. It’s so good to know that we are on this ride together.
