This might be the most incredible thing you have ever seen. It is not a set in a movie. It is a teacher and children in Gaza starting the school year in a field of rubble and unexploded ordinance surrounded by Israeli drones. IG @hassan_eslaih

We commend all of the Muslim community members and groups that declined invites to the @WhiteHouse's iftar, forcing the Biden administration to change its plans and limit its iftar to only staff. There is nothing to celebrate with @POTUS while he enables the Israeli government to

Sometimes you come to Twitter to waste time instead of writing and then you find the poem that will send you back to your writing.
A blessing to have my poem ‘Dream Daughter in the Ambient of the World’ find safe passage in fellow postcolonial daughter @umkalra’s gorgeous literary mag @violetetc✨

My article with Anila Daulatzai is out on the reception of the Taliban's 'return' & what it tells us about the way we remember and speak of injuries from political violence.
aljazeera.com
The dominant narrative on the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan erases the decades of imperial violence Afghans suffered.

I grew up reading travel writing, & am so excited we're publishing Shahnaz Habib's AIRPLANE MODE! A book that asks who gets to travel, who gets to be a travel writer, pays attention to those who are constrained in our adventures by realities eg. visas. @mixedmsgs @Lisetteverhagen

Be prepared, there is a small chance that our horrendous leadership could unknowingly lead us into World War III.
