Thyme Travellers 2 is fully funded! You did it! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1584186575/thyme-travellers-2/posts/4691099

Sonia Sulaiman @SoniaSulaiman@wandering.shop · Apr 22, 2026

People are good sometimes.

I’m a disabled writer and editor who can’t offer preorders but everyone is coming together to make sure that I have my needs met while I put together this anthology.

Just less than 10% to go now. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1584186575/thyme-travellers-2

Sonia Sulaiman @SoniaSulaiman@wandering.shop · Apr 22, 2026

We are nearly 90% funded , friends.

My hope is that this series, the first of its kind, will be something that generations of Palestinian writers can aspire to. That it will be a space and a home for them in a world that seeks at every turn to make us invisible and exiled. #Palestine #SFF #books https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1584186575/thyme-travellers-2/

Sonia Sulaiman @SoniaSulaiman@wandering.shop · Apr 21, 2026

We’re at 89% funded!

It’s time. If we tick over 100% before the end of the Kickstarter, I’m pleased to say that my publisher is on board for including author’s notes for each story in the anthology!

Think of them as DVD extras! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1584186575/thyme-travellers-2

I’ve managed to write a poem every day this month (so far)! Doing the prompts from FIYAH has really helped me feel comfortable. Here is today’s: https://www.tumblr.com/babriyeh/814355615010996224/aisha-the-alchemist-considers-her-work-of

Hey, do you want to see more fantasy, science fiction, and horror from Palestinian writers?

You know what to do! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1584186575/thyme-travellers-2

Sonia Sulaiman @SoniaSulaiman@wandering.shop · Apr 07, 2026

Friends, I have some great news. My agent thinks we’re almost ready to go on submission with my first children’s book! It is a retelling of a Palestinian folktale. I love the original story, and I know you will enjoy this version.

I wish it were true
That poets can kill a man
With words; poison and honey
In their tongues.
Your memory is already a curse.
Your body a bloated blight.
So die, then;
Become what you already are.

#30fiyahpoems prompt: epistolary. #poetry

We’re now closing in on 40% for this sequel to the award winning anthology of Palestinian fantasy, sci-fi, and horror fiction! You’re amazing!

Thank you for supporting the legacy of Palestinian writers in speculative fiction.

On the criminalization of public prayer.

Sonia Sulaiman @SoniaSulaiman@wandering.shop · Apr 06, 2026

A spell can be anything and nothing.
Words whispered, chanted, a prayer. Rise at the altar of your imagination
Watch the lit incense there: prayer.
Expect no tolerance, friendship,
If you come to them carrying prayer.
The state says what counts as magic;
Provocation! Violence! Prayer! #poetry

I’m in a very tight spot. I’m over drafted and have nothing left over to pay for groceries and my phone and Internet bills. I haven’t been paid by a freelance client in over two months now. Please help. https://ko-fi.com/soniasulaiman/ #mutualaid

@juergen_hubert I'm on two servers atm. My art account is on one that has defederated from .social bc of its moderation. Apparently it's widely known for its poor moderation.
