Reposted by FinAnna Holmes @annabookwriter.bsky.social · 12hIt’s not like there’s a glut of good disabled rep in fiction, let alone romances that feature interabled relationships without falling into stereotypes. So, as marginalized readers are wont to do, we go looking for aspects of ourselves buried in other types of characters. 1132

Fin @fintasm.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I like Violet’s journey with her disability and accepting that using adaptations isn’t a weakness in Fourth Wing. The idea gets a bit buried as it’s such a busy series but the thread does remain even after she gets superpowers. (Tbf it does lean quite heavily on Tehanu but that’s not all bad) 120

Reposted by FinNot In Our Name (NION) Women @nionwomen.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Feminism doesn't require women to see trans+ people as the enemy. For many of us, feminism has always meant challenging inequality, standing alongside people whose rights are under threat, and refusing to accept that one group's equality must come at another's expense. That's our feminism too. 327797
