ALT Magic: the Gathering card depicting the Marvel hero Sun-Spider. The title says "Sun-Spider, Nimble Webber" and displays an illustration of Sun-Spider using her web-shooters. The sub-text says "Legendary Creature--Spider Human Hero" and the description reads "During your turn, Sun-Spider has flying. When Sun-Spider enters, search your library for an Aura or Equipment card, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle." Below that in italics reads the line "Breaking expectations and enjoying it."
How cool is this?! 😍Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse @LEGO_Group minifigures have launched this month, featuring #SunSpider who has #EhlersDanlossyndrome (EDS).
Created by @dayn_does_comix who has #EDS, Sun-Spider uses retractable crutches that shoot webs! 🕸️
As my slate of freelance projects begins to clear, I am once again sending out a slew of cold call emails looking for more work. No matter how many times I do it, sending out cold calls is absolutely terrifying and nausea-inducing and I don't like it!!
been traveling across the country with my partner and our dog and honestly? having the time of my life. also found out I'm allergic to mosquitoes (I THOUGHT EVERYONE GOT WELTS IMMEDIATELY)
I am so BEYOND excited that we can finally talk about these incredible new projects of @used_bandaid’s!
Both ELEANOR’S DEATHBED and PATIENTS IN THE DARK are going to instantly grab readers and make them fall in love with Rachel’s work in a whole new way.
got a wild email today from someone explaining my own disease to me and DEMANDING that Charlotte go to a doctor and explicitly state what kind of EDS she has as if
1. I'm not a very public advocate who talks about my EDS
2. I have ANY control over her published story lines
🙃
why did this woman assume I don't have EDS and don't know anything about it?? a cursory Google search will tell you I was a keynote speaker at the EDS Global Health Conference and also I *made a character based on my own experiences as a disabled person*
anyways wild shit
my sister got married this weekend and it was incredible!! she invited me to wear matching suits with the groomsmen and fathers and it felt so incredible. I *did* somehow still get she/her-ed by almost everyone though which is so confusing to me???
