every single one of these stories feels like a devastation of not only death but an unfathomable love in the face of unspeakable horror. ya rabb, courage in their name.
I am writing to you about a conversation that took place with one of the people under the rubble of his bombed home. Unfortunately, this is what happens to us every day in Gaza...

this is a corner store uncle. spends every evening smoking marlboro golds and drinking tea with sweaty men outside the store, then you find out one day he’s an electrical engineer or olympic marksman
South Korea sent a fully-kitted out player for the Olympic shooting. Turkey sent an guy with no specialized lenses, eye cover or ear protection and got the silver medal

we desperately need more movement histories which study much loved radical projects that utterly failed. analyzing why & chronicling this w/ honest critique to build towards something better. we need this done not only by enemies but by people who sincerely believe(d) in them.

so beautiful to me that TTC wait times don’t actually mean anything and are shown purely to make us question our own understanding of how time flows. is four minutes really four minutes or is it 10 minutes? is it 23 seconds? that’s for us to discover together

"Will it be a peace based on power sharing between military and civilian elites, which will only temporarily halt the violence, or a true peace built on justice and a new bottom-up governance model that ... dismantles existing systems of elite power and systematic appropriation?"

Amid the devastation of war in Sudan (& its long roots, as mapped out in this piece, implicating UAE, Russia, Israel, Egypt & more), the resistance committees persist as profoundly moving eg of grassroots courage & solidarity. We take serious note of their transformative model.

"khalas ya habibi." not a lonely death but a life suffused in love, until the end. ya rabb, i do not know the words to this prayer. shoulder to shoulder, saf ala saf, may we close ranks around the dead and the disappeared, this endless and wretched janazah for a burning world.
