I suppose it's time for a pinned intro post!

Hi! I write books and comics and podcasts. My latest projects are:

🌺 PAYAL MEHTA'S ROMANCE REVENGE PLOT: YA enemies to lovers rom com

✨ House of Harkness: magical school AU on Marvel Unlimited starring Wanda Maximoff

Learn More > preetichhibber.com

The cover for PAYAL MEHTA’S ROMANCE REVENGE PLOT showing an Indian teen girl standing between a Korean guy and a white guy. She’s looking at the white guy and grinning as he leans against her, but she’s fist bumping the Korean kid while he’s rolling his eyes. The text at the top is my name: PREETI CHHIBBER. The title takes up the lower half of the book, and it’s bracketed on both sides by bushels of illustrated flowers that get bigger as they get to the bottom of the cover. The top half has a thin turquoise border with dots, and the corners are detailed in pink and turquoise.

the cover for House of Harkness #1 featuring Wanda and Agatha standing back to back, each holding a magical spell in their hands and looking at the reader. On Wanda's side we also see Nico Minoru and Jericho Drumm, on Agatha's is Morgan Le Fay and Daimon Hellstrom. We can also see Loki and Stephen Stranger just in front of the school. Everyone is in variations of a classic school uniform, blazer and ties.

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

NEW: A MAGA X account often shared by Senator Mike Lee and House Republicans like Nancy Mace--that often alleges Democrats encourage voting fraud-- is run by a man who not only has never stepped foot in the US, he also illegally donated to an American campaign.

I’ll start: I’m working on a new graphic novel and having a blast with the creative team we’ve assembled!

Kaleb’s memorial will be Thursday, October 9th at 2pm at Silver Lake Community Church in LA. We will have a private service in Bakersfield to inter him next to his grandparents, date TBD. If you can attend, it would be very meaningful to his loved ones.

JUST IN: The Republican Mayor of Fairbanks, Alaska’s second biggest city, lost re-election last night to a Democrat.

Mayor David Pruhs is a conservative who fought protections for LGBTQ+ residents; he made comments this year drew condemnation this year from Alaska Natives. He lost to Mindy O'Neall.

non-black users using the blacksky.app handle is a bannable offense

BUT non-black users are welcome to join the blacksky SERVERS (not the blacksky feed) under either "myatproto.social" or "cryptoanarchy.network" handles

This is AJ Link, known here as Łink. He's awesome. He's been permabanned for basically just making the CEO, Jay Graber, mad. This was a monumentally stupid decision that, AFAICT, may result in the collapse of Bluesky due to a loss of trust, but we'll see. The smart thing to do would be to #FreeŁink

Wow.

GREAT NEWS from Leander ISD. To Kill a Mockingbird, House on Mango St, and Narrative of Life of Frederick Douglass will be returned to classrooms after a massive outcry. Thanks to everyone who spoke up!!!

From an email to teachers today:

*An important update regarding the books that
were previously paused from curriculum use as a
result of concerns around Senate Bill 12.
Thirty-six of the forty books are being reinstated
to the secondary curriculum book list, with
revisions made to the curriculum to ensure TEKS
alignment and compliance with SB 12. Four
titles, Stamped, Melissa (George), Gracefully
Grayson, and The 57 Bus, will remain paused for
additional review of curriculum alignment. Please
note that all books, including these four, should
remain available, or be returned if removed, to
classroom libraries for individual student choice
reading.
