“They call me brave & courageous—but for me, this is the simplest thing I could do. Calling my response brave & courageous puts it out of reach, like something only some of us can do. But I want to normalise it, to show that all of us can refuse to comply with institutional demands to stay silent.”

Latine historical fantasy book rec of the day. A young woman accidentally releases the Mayan god of death. He offers her a deal: help him regain his throne, and he’ll grant her heart’s desire. A brilliant Jazz Age fantasy journey story, with Mexican folklore. Loved it! #booksky #diversebooksky

ok i appreciate everyone saying "opt out of the economy, stop buying books, go to your library" bc like YES libraries are awesome but umm as a queer author... please god buy books from (black, queer, trans, palestinian, indigenous, disabled) writers. from b&n or an indie bookstore is best!

What I’m working on this weekend. Hala Alyan is a hell of a writer, and I can’t wait to check out more from her 🙌🏾 Farsector has made for a nice switch up from my political, historical, heartbreaking reads 🙃 #booksky #blackbooksky #diversereads

I celebrated my birthday with a visit to the Palestine Museum. I can’t begin to tell you how special it was to be amongst so many beautiful pieces of art created by my people. Each painting and artifact telling a story of our love for life, pain of displacement, and the struggle for liberation.

Long, dense, unconventional stories about underrepresented subjects surviving historical injustice that will annoy traditionalists in literary, social and political circles. And the immense satisfaction that accompanies it. #pretendpanel #writingcommunity #writers #writing
