One year ago, this little book hit the shelves in the UK. It didn't have much in the way of fanfare, no one will nominate it for awards, but despite everything, it's sold so much better than I expected and has made some solid fans, which, at the end of the day, is what matters.

It's awards season time! If you're nominating, I'd be honored if you'd consider my work. Here's what I have up for nomination!

I'm being brave and doing self promo for awards eligibility! Two of my stories were published this year, both dark and feminist and dealing with trauma! Unleashed: Set Your Monster Free is free to read on Kindle Unlimited, & proceeds from Wickedness and Wonder benefit The Trevor Project! #WriteSky

So, I'm making a video game based on Palestinian folklore. It's called Thursday of the Dead, and you can talk to a Palestinian ghouleh. It will have branching narrative, and art all made by a human (me). I need exactly $100 to launch it on Steam when it's finished. ko-fi.com/soniasulaiman

im learning how to make my own batik and i'll never ever complain about the prices of batik tulis ever again. if anything the price of batik tulis is criminally underrated (Rp 750K ++ / 45 USD), because each line is gonna be WAXED INDIVIDUALLY

(1)🚨ALL EYES ON INDONESIA🚨 It's 0.41. A.M. Local time. First they cut off the power in Kwitang & Senen. Then the snipers came. And now they're using live bullets. Just 3 days ago the Indonesian Broadcasting Commission silenced the journalists to not broadcast the protests.

If your idea of disability justice doesn't include Palestinians being bombed, amputated, and denied care in Gaza, it's not justice. It's branding. You can't be "intersectional" while ignoring colonial violence. Free Palestine, always and forever.

There's a lot of Discourse over Macron's visit at #Borobudur re: the TEMPORARY installation of chairlifts. Lots of people are worried of the structural integrity over the 1,200 y.o. temple, and some are celebrating the inclusivity. As a disabled Buddhist Indonesian I have two words to say: fuck you.

Hello friends, I've been hit with an emergency bill, so I'm opening up a few slots for editorial services. I'll cover the details in thread but would appreciate any shares. I'm a Tessera Editorial alum, have several short fiction credits, and have helped several writers with their query materials.

why didnt anyone tell me trying to get a queer movement going is so expensive lmao every turn im like "i wish i could hire people to help me"

need to beat the internalized ableism inside me and just bring my cane whenever im out

Soumi was amazing in helping me polish my query package ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡ She's very encouraging, and her edits for my synopsis were exceptionally strong--something I definitely benefited from cos synopsis hard and I only have 1 braincell

The biggest reason why I dislike the idea of respectability in dress is because it conflates the *appearance* of virtue with *actual* virtue. Wearing a suit doesn't make you respectful, intelligent, or capable, just as wearing a leather jacket doesn't make you rugged.

Thank you so much for being a wonderful home to my very cozy gay transman🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️ story. I hope this is a step towards positive representation of indonesian dukun (im tired of being stereotyped for my practice lol)🤧

This also goes for digital books and digital audiobooks you get from the library--they pay for the licenses, and the more copies available at once the more they are paying/"purchasing." Go use Libby and Hoopla, it counts as support!
