Ok publishing. We need to have another talk about albinism and your obsession with turning us into fantasy creatures. ONCE AGAIN I started a book only to discover the author has used albinism, blindness, and disability as a fantasy aesthetic, all in a matter of pages. 1/6 🧵

An update: We have donated the $55 in support that we received while we were open to Disability Visibility LLC @DisVisibility. It's an incredible organization, run by the incredible @SFdirewolf. We love Alice. ping @kelly_j_baker @krgpryal
We look forward to continuing to do good work via twitter. Stay in touch with us here, and via our own personal accounts, @krgpryal and @kelly_j_baker. /end.
The contributions we collected (about $50) will be donated to a disability organization. We haven't selected it yet (since we just made this decision yesterday) but when we do, we will post the donation here for complete transparency. 3/
We are very sad to say that DISABILITY ACTS is closing its doors. As a fully volunteer-run magazine, we worked as long as we could to share the voices of disabled writers. 1/
