Still blows my mind that my work is in issue 10 of @NoTokensJournal. This journal is run by writers I admire, publishing writers I admire. It's an honor to be here.

This video makes me sick. This is the POV of anti-genocide protestors. There are more people here who are fine with their government funding & arming a genocide than there are those against it. And the looks and yells, my God. These are the people who are against demagoguery?

In the not-so-distant future, every single one of these politicians are going to pretend they were always against Israel's apartheid and genocide. They will try to hide that they stood and applauded a man who led the slaughter and starvation of Gaza. We will not forget.

There is something particularly special about words printed on paper, bound together, becoming more than the sum of its parts. Still honored my work appears in both of these editions. @darkmtn books are for anyone looking for light in dark times.

The story of the palestinian boy with down syndrome whose first and last words he spoke as an IOF dog mauled him to death genuinely broke something in me. I am so sick & tired of this being “normal”, this shouldn’t be normal & I am sick of being demonized for wanting it to end

When I wrote this piece over six months ago, I added an author's note of clarification. I said that the future is Indigenous; it is in the hands of those who understand that the earth and the people are not separate things but one and the same. Now more than ever, this is true.

South Africa’s case against “Israel” was so ironclad and unassailable that the verdict will really be a judgment on the legitimacy of the court and nothing else.

The worst part is nothing will ever bring back the lives of 30,000 Palestinians who were murdered in cold blood. Never forget they are names not numbers.

People who say “I don’t really watch the news or care about politics” are really trying to say “I am so privileged that I’ve never had to worry about politics as it doesn’t affect me”.

Palestinian men are kind. Palestinian men are loving. Palestinian men are caring. Palestinian men are respectful. We are human beings like the rest of you. Stop dehumanising us. We have feelings and emotions. We have a right to live.
