When you're immunocompromised and chronically ill and therefore sick all the time but don't worry because your best friend will bully you into drinking tea.

Anyway, We Are Made of Scars and Starlight is out now and it's got lupus and depression rep, found family besties, and all gay everything.
Text that reads:

“Sounds like she’s being a bitch.”
“Ok, I’ll let that one slide because you’re dying.”
Speaking of. “You probably shouldn’t be in here. I’m probably contagious.” Even if the pressure from Mariah’s hands in his hair was a delightful departure from whatever hellish virus he’d contracted this time.
“I never get sick from you,” Mariah said. “My immune system actually works.”
“Show off.”
“You’re not drinking.”
Kai sighed. “I’m tired. I want to go back to sleep.”

Happy Kai day❤️

I hope you all enjoy Kai’s story. And if you’re struggling with self-worth around chronic illness and disability, I hope it makes you feel less alone.

Happy Indigenous People's Day!

I mostly focused on North America, where I'm from, and Palestine, since it's been on my mind so much lately.

This is NOT the definitive list of books about indigenous characters. Follow indigenous creators and listen to their recs.

And, as always, free Palestine.

Truly, I couldn't have asked for better book twins!

Tomorrow❤️

@flyleafbooks.bsky.social is still doing signed preorders until the end of the day! Feel free to make me write whatever you want. Or attempt to draw a silly lil doodle. I’m just vibing here.

I can’t wait for y’all to meet Kai.

Hi! So instead of shouting into the ether about a white woman billionaire artist this morning, who are some queer/trans/BIPOC/disabled artists you recommend?

Lately, I've been listening to a lot of Sasha Allen, Jensen McRae, Janani K. Jha, Christabelle Marbun, Gigi Perez, and Xana.

Kai's belongings are neat but that man has never made a choice about his love life that isn't pure chaos.

Anyway, my novella comes out in three days and I'm eeeee😬

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters

Is your character organized and methodical, or more chaotic?

Do they prefer to plan things out carefully, or be spontaneous and improvise?

Do they keep their belongings neat and tidy, or are they a bit messy?

It's hard to have hope for this ceasefire when we've had two years of broken promises and disregard for human lives, but I'm trying to hope for my Palestinian friends, for the journalists still in Israeli prisons, for everyone in the region who will get to go back home, for all of us❤️
