Libraries buy books. Lots of books, in all versions (paper, electronic, audio). They also have to purchase expensive licenses for the electronic books. Depending on the country, some library checkouts result in royalties for authors. Libraries are hardly our enemy.

A local spot I really do like just posted their fall specials. One of which is masala chai. “A traditional black tea-based drink from a concentrate—“ *record scratch* Please. Be serious. You can’t say it’s traditional and also from a concentrate. No matter who created the concentrate.

I took exactly 0 photos at WorldCon, half sad because no photos of wonderful friends and memories, half glad because there'll be no task to procrastinate on and feel guilty about later 🙌🏽 Someone took a photo I'm in though (who was it??) so there IS proof I left my apartment at least! 😂

🫂 I am so upset 😭 I cannot imagine not drawing again. Writing at least I can dictate & use TTS on bad days, but art? There is no accessibility hack.

Someone said "Charisma is not a dead stat" at GenCon GCWS and I'm feeling that in my bones right now. That's the stat I can lean on to find a new PT, probably go through several, and suffer some extremely painful appointments as I do, cultivating relationships until I find someone teachable again.

Hana Das is writing & illustrating @hanawrites.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

It's hard to articulate what I am grieving because it is the loss of a friend, a solution, and the freedom I painstakingly gained to reclaim my craft all wrapped up in one. But it is grief to be sure.

Hana Das is writing & illustrating @hanawrites.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

A flight I would have never booked, a trip I would never take, had I not had an appointment scheduled with him right when I get back. That's it though. I can't take risks like drawing anymore. Because the person who knows how to fix the damage from each drawing session will no longer be on call.

Hana Das is writing & illustrating @hanawrites.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

I fully expect to cry at my final appointment with him because this PT is the reason I can do anything I do today. Draw, write, walk. Attend conferences. Because these activities all actively cause me harm. Harm he can mitigate. I know he can fix everything after I take that 6hr flight to LA.

"Well can you get a new PT?" Of course. But I taught this man everything he knows about hEDS and how to do PT for it. The reason he worked magic that hEDS patients NEVER experience is because he learned from me and merged his deep intuitive understanding of the body to what I told him.

It's not the first time I've lost my craft to disability. The piano was an exercise in pain through my teens, fashion design (patternmaking, draping, sewing) wrecked me through college, and drawing and writing (typing) were shot by my 30's. I owe every ability I've reclaimed to this singular PT.

Last weekend I was sharing my art with friends at GenCon & planning a graphic novel, when just 4 years ago I couldn't hold a stylus let alone draw a line. I'd lost the use of my hands to hEDS, but got it back over years of PT. Today I found out my secret weapon, my PT of 4 years is leaving.

You put into words something I was trying to articulate just last week. There's an axis of privilege at work when romanticizing evils you've never & likely will never experience. Sure the opposite exists, reading for catharsis to overcome trauma, but not in these numbers with this readership.

WorldCon next! ✈️ Who's going? I will be in worse shape after that long a flight. But also better, because I won't be vying to Attend Everything. You may in fact find me in lobbies, parked at a table, writing and convincing those around me to get some writing done too... Barcon sprints by day!

Of course the account is unmanned and dead... If I didn't have to fly into IND for writing thimgs I'd never touch AA or Delta with a ten foot pole. Absolute bottom of the barrel experiences, both. They compete for who can do worse every time I come here 💀

American Airlines "doesn't call for passengers with disabilities to preboard" according to the crew at the gate who went straight to calling first class. Are we in the dark ages? This is air travel standard in 2026. Anything to say on the matter @americanair.bsky.social ?
