Omg intros 👀 hi #writersky I'm Mariya, a 24 y/o writer based in Toronto!
I centre family, hope, and revolution in my work and I've dabbled in poetry and short stories (read em in my bio!). This year I'm working on my first novel, a Mughal-inspired fantasy blending politics, adventure, and dragons!

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing a text, writing an email, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing since the dawn of time.

Started reading Artemis by Andy Weir (whose other books I've loved)
Icks so far:

- FMC casually throws out that she's apparently from Saudi, surely this won't come back to haunt us later
- how many times can you tell us how glass is made
