very proud to have helped with the writing on THIS IS NORMAL, a short free educational game about Self-Managed abortions with pills at home. Hope this helps de-mystify the process during a crucial time. Dedicated to Fawn Fitter, rest in power. mobile and steam versions to come!

there will be a day when the most famous photos of Palestinians won’t be of us carrying our dead kids, of anguish, debris and screaming. When everyone knows about our stories, about our good food, about how goddamn funny we are. Our culture is so alive, it can’t be extinguished.

I genuinely believe we are witnessing the birth of new civil rights and labor movements and we should be absolutely prepared for attempts at squashing and destabilizing this unified momentum

sorry to be mean but “I don’t know enough” is also a massive colonial privilege since the average Palestinian has to be able to recite every detail of their own history and apartheid law in order to defend themselves from racist baseless accusation and propaganda fueled ignorance

during the Nakba, my grandmothers sister buried her jewelry under her home before she was forced to leave. I wonder constantly if it’s still there, under the feet of the settlers comfortable in their lives above her heartbreak.

As a Palestinian Christian I can promise you they don’t treat us any different or any better, they destroy our sacred holy relics too, they shoot us too, and also if you are trying to make a separation in Christian and Muslim and Jewish Palestinians you’re an Islamaphobe

I have lost so much respect for peers who have been in my life for years and have spoken up on everything but this. I’ll remember you forever. I’ll remember that when you said you “loved me&my work” you played in my face about my own humanity, all you saw was a dog doing a trick

I wish we didn't have to constantly show you our dead and dying for you to acknowledge us. I wish you could see our humanity and our right to existence by merit of that. I wish when you thought about Palestine you thought about our beautiful culture, not our pain, we deserve that
