Faro squinted at the sky, the way Tima often did when she was underwater, reaching for the light above the surface. ‘I’m moving back to Ireland.’ Another brilliant short story by @aniyonsenga, oof! x @demosjournal demosjournal.com/article/their-…
ISSUE 11: PRECARITY is now online! Thanks for the patience as demos journal moves to a brand new website. demosjournal.com/article/precar…

I’ve got an essay on a precarity, Butler and Lazarus in the latest issue (issue 11) of @demosjournal. Only out in physical copy, so hit them up for a copy. Will post when/if it goes digital.
I wrote an article for (and contributed some artwork to) the latest @demosjournal. I reflect on what I've learned reading Liat Ben-Moshe's 'Decarcerating Disability' in a reading group run by @vanamalihermans and @_pcthug I haven't done non-work writing in ages so I'm proud. ☺️
