Spending deep, quality time with family these days. Floating in mythical time. Listening to stories of who my ancestors were, the thousands who attended my grandfather's funeral...the grief I try to dissolve with a love that does not fully know their heartache

due to personal reasons i'm going to keep getting hotter, smarter, and more committed to my inner peace than ever before

is there an equivalent of "your eyes are hungrier than your stomach" for books?

Hazaras were killed in Kunduz last week. Shias are killed in Kandahar today. Where is the 'peace' that Taliban rule was supposed to bring to the country?

I just returned from Rikers Island where a group of elected officials exercised our legal right to inspect correctional facilities. What I witnessed was a humanitarian crisis. A horror house of abuse and neglect. I'll share more soon but for now my message is simple: decarcerate.

Wild that Trump has been kicked off social media but not...literal internationally recognized terrorists?

"The Poetics of Mass Construction" is my personal reveal and rescript of 9/11. There's so much left unsaid about what I personally experienced over this past 20 years, but hope this generative take on the rhetoric of warfare is a good start for now~ https://t.co/iW3pHFb0iv

My serenity in a screenshot hbu~

Just woke up from a dream that all my Afghan friends near and far were on a pilgrimage by foot and I was running around taking large format and tintype photos of them. There were stopping points for chai and friendly debates. The setting felt old but the vibes were futuristic.

I have a deadline tomorrow but I can’t be bothered to build on any of the half baked ideas of what I wrote before August 15th. Rarely anything feels worth spending time on these days other than fortifying my sanity and being with family

If your milk hotel is neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the milk hotel of the oppressor.

If there's anything the past month has taught me, it's who my real ones are

It’s not only Afghan women who pays the prices or fails, it’s worldwide women community which fails everyday! Taliban killed 2 women n Faizabad, Badakhshan province’s protests against Pakistani interferences n Afghanistan & to ask basic women’s rights within Taliban’s government.

إِنَّا لِلَّٰهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُون 🤲🏽

Taliban’s claim of occupying Panjshir is false. The NRF forces are present in all strategic positions across the valley to continue the fight. We assure the ppl of Afghanistan that the struggle against the Taliban & their partners will continue until justice & freedom prevails.

Taking a social media break but hope you keep the story of Afghanistan alive out here in these pixels

The women of the Afghan WNT are not just soccer players. They are activists and trailblazers in their country. Our soccer community needs to unite and ask that these women are given the aid they need. @StateDept @FLOTUS #AfghanWNT
