I wrote in detail about Reform’s plans for a fascist takeover of the UK using “uncontrolled illegal immigration” as their way in. Around 3,500 words. Reading time 15-20 minutes (I think). I’m gonna read it out for Shado’s podcast “Shado in focus” soon as well shado-mag.com/articles/opi...

Hear me talk about how fascists who claim to understand Lord of the Rings or Star Trek need to be [something not nice] The broader convo is about the political importance of storytelling, an obsession of mine.

"The other night, I was at a talk where a farmer introduced herself to the audience with a unique way of distinguishing where in the South she operated. “It’s the beginning of the South, not the phosphorus South, thank god,” she said and I felt my jaw tighten." aanab.news/p/november-2...

NEW: We’ve added 53 more white phosphorus strikes to our archive whitephosphorus.info, bringing the total to 248 verified and geolocated incidents across South #Lebanon (2023–2024). The IDF says these were used as smokescreens, away from civilians. Our findings show otherwise. 🧵

The siege of al-Fasher in Sudan by the RSF militia has been on-going for 18 months now. Famine has set. People are suffering. If the city falls, untold atrocities will unfold. The resistance committee of al-Fasher wrote a statement 2 days ago. I read it out. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wJU...

I worked on this little guy prior to the emergence of the antifascist frog brigade in Portland. So to all my antifascist frog siblings out there, this one is also for you!

I am still grieving & so are all my friends and family. But none of us leave room for despair. All my loved ones are "condemned to be optimists". The alternative would be to give up on ourselves and the living. The future will be different. Occupation, genocide and fascism cannot last.

Gardening day!

Random, but I’m still looking for stable employment (research/analysis/writing/teaching) and I’m happy to send along my CV in English/French. Job has to be in the UK, Canada or online.

I’m not crying you’re crying

Took a break from history to talk about the history unfolding around us

My latest, on how concepts like the populist hype and reactionary centrism can help us understand how our media and political system normalises dangerous far right talking points and policies shado-mag.com/articles/opi...

We already have 1000+ reasons to hate """artist""" James C Mulligan (see below), but it was extra enraging to see him stealing and taking credit for the work of actual Bambi artist and all-around Disney legend Tyrus Wong, so here's a mini Ted Talk 🧵

I have recently seen an influx of accounts from Gaza. I have been told that many of them are real and are being verified by Molly Shah. Some of them are being reported as spam. Please do not do that and consider supporting them. Molly has some more resources on the topic.

Found an amazing documentary on Sabri Moudallal. He was an amazing منشد and singer of قدود حلبية (i.e. singer of traditional folk and sacred music from Aleppo). youtu.be/nPxoP3jgJSI?...

“there is concern about ethnic, religious, & sectarian tensions...However, I must express some skepticism about the predominant Western focus on their fate. These voices were absent when the Arab Sunni majority was being massacred, persecuted, and tortured.” YHS www.resetdoc.org/story/yassin...

Farid (فريد) is happy for the Syrian people & is overjoyed to see the prisoners freed. Farid celebrates the end of the Assads reign of terror & helps center Syrian voices during this historic moment instead of spewing dumb assadist opinons online. Be like Farid. #art #syria #comic

During his imprisonment, Michel Kilo recalls seeing a child who was born in prison and did not know what a bird or a tree or the sun were… I hope that all these children are now free to see and know them…❤️❤️❤️ youtu.be/mIroMgZpH4M?...

Hello my new habibiz. A kind reminder that I am queer and will block homophobes and transphobes. I also have no patience for genocide deniers, authoritarian simps, anti-arabs and islamophobes. Otherwise buckle up beautiful, its gona get gay ✨🌈

(Wadi) وديع over here is a fabulous Walrus who likes croquettes and has an excellent skincare routine. When وديع is not busy talking about how much he loathes leftists who like Assad & Putin, he likes to listen to Abdel Halim Hafez with his cat friend Froufrou.

فتكات (Fatakat) is a sassy crow who takes shit from nobody and spends her morning drinking tea with the girls. Her design is based on سهير البابلي (Soher El Bably) in the play ريا وسكينة (Raya w Skina). It was a good excuse to work on some calligraphy. #art #bird

While waiting, here is the frog حليم (Halim) king of the discotheque. He has unbeatable dance moves.

Where were you? Go home yalla. Which house? Oh the house is gone? Some Lebanese humour for y’all
