Nobody is born Islamophobic. Islamophobic children are made and will continue to be made in a society that treats Islamophobia as a bipartisan norm and even sometimes social good. Islamaphobic children with access to guns are made possible by an Islamophobic society that loves guns.

The ICSD has an official fundraiser to provide direct aid to the victims of today’s horrific attack in San Diego. We will be donating 5% of our revenue through the end of the week (Sun, May 24th) to them. If you can donate directly, that would be even better.

I’m writing a Magic story for the first time in like three years

i don’t want my appliances to be smart or connect to the internet. i want them to do one mechanical task for 100 years

It's a beautiful day, and you can buy your copy of OMENS OF CHAOS now, nudging us toward the numbers we need to make the bestseller lists and secure the possibility of a sequel! (Lists are measured release day to the following week: I should find out next Wednesday if we made it.)

The term “Middle East” dates to like… the 1920s iirc. I am still salty about publishers doing calls for “Asian” stories but specifically excluding central and west Asian authors from their criteria. Asia: the continent with no geographic west or centre 🫠

I really try and fundamentally don't judge people for still using "Middle Eastern" or "MENA" instead of the more progressive "West Asian" and "SWANA" but man.....knowing *everything* we know now and our need to actively disassociate from the Orientalist framework I truly think more people should.

I feel sick to my stomach waiting around to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's an indictment not just of voters but of our whole system. We're ruled by a mad king.

#MTGStrixhaven Omens of Chaos is out today! What I love about this book is that it’s not only an incredible story of magic, intrigue, and the power of friendship, but also an excellent primer on the Multiverse. If you've never read Magic fiction before, this is the perfect place to start. #wotcstaff

“A whole civilization will die tonight” is the most vile thing a US president has ever said, certainly during the post-1945 era when they’ve had the power to kill civilizations with the dropping of a bomb. I’m staring into the darkness. May this not be one of the most fateful days in human history.

Welcome officially to the world, OMENS OF CHAOS, the book I fought for fiercely and am so very, very proud of.

cannot stress enough how much this tweet is not only my guiding star for character writing but also the only thing that enables me to write conversations at all

But shall this crazed old man be tamely suffered to drag a whole ship’s company down to doom with him?

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

Do this for #4, above all.

I keep seeing "all authors use AI, the real issue is they're being forced to be sneaky about it" headlines. Full stop No. This is a lie peddled for normalization. It's schoolyard-level pressure tactics "C'mon, all the cool kids are already doing it. We won't tell. It's fine. We're on your side."

Trump and Netanyahu invade Iran only to replace an aging, dying Ayatollah with his younger, more radicalized son, closing the Strait of Hormuz off to the US, increasing oil and gas prices, and strengthening Iran. Genius stuff.
