Omar Ramadan's THIS SWEET RUPTURE speaks to the ever-present Islamophobia, anti-Arab racism, and xenophobia that exist in Canadian society and culture. https://bit.ly/40u9ity @orphdc.bsky.social

Ramadan’s poetry in THIS SWEET RUPTURE reveals some of the cultural negotiation that occurs within BIPOC immigrant families when one is a first-generation child, living in a liminal space between cultures. https://bit.ly/40u9ity @orphdc.bsky.social

Omar Ramadan’s work reminds one of the writing of BIPOC immigrant poets to Canada such as Moni Brar and Uchechukwu Peter Umezurike. THIS SWEET RUPTURE will be placed in conversations alongside Noor Naga, Omar El Akkad, and Saeed Teebi. https://bit.ly/40u9ity @orphdc.bsky.social

Sednaya prison outside of Damascus is called the human slaughterhouse. The things that I read happened there will never leave me. Just the absolute most twisted things a human can come up with. The fact that we’re counting down the minutes to it being obliterated is beyond. Just incredible.

so the writers' union of canada wants to support the use of letting AI be trained on our writing now that writers are being offered royalties. this is unacceptable and humiliating. AI is exploitative and writers should have a fucking backbone in preventing their own obsolescence

Everyone says, don't get on the adjunct treadmill. But they don't tell you how to make it without getting on it. And they certainly don't tell you how to get off the damn thing once it's going.
