Isn’t it weird how Israel’s strongest critics predicted Israel’s every step over the last 26 months? Almost as if those critical of Israel actually listen to Israeli leadership and learn from its past. Something Western governments could never.

It's finally ready 🥺 🫒🌺Wednesday 10th December 2025🌺🫒 When I made my first comic as an adult three odd years ago (i.e. excluding my teen comics), it was about my story of making sense of my hardships. And, indeed, everyone's story deserves to be told.

It's a shame that there isn't an English equivalent to the word عتيق It means ancient but in a revered way. I opt for using the word revered, because ancient is the literal translation but doesn't convey the feeling.

Palestine campaigning in Ireland and the UK has badly needed more union action and collective support of workers. That’s where the most power is, not with celebrity activists; the murder machine relies on labour. Stand with this Tesco worker who refused to handle Israeli goods

A lot of ppl think that I've been to art school even though the only formal art education I've had was an AS in the subject. I'm not self taught though- I've received a lot of great mentorships alhamdulillah. But yeah we live in a time with so much potential for growth outside the traditional route

Doing some research on the role of the United States on Algeria. I googled the debt that Algeria owed to the US during the Black Decade (1990s western-backed military coup, subsequent bloodbaths, and the terrorism it birthed). It was like looking for water in a desert.

Something I always got told growing up is never to regret an act of kindness, even if you're rewarded with nastiness. Makes me think of the hadith nawawi on actions being according to intentions. When your intentions are for Allah swt then the outcome doesn't matter.

People who vomit negativity on others are selfish. I'm not talking about going through a rough patch and needing temporary support. I'm talking about people who don't see a professional and have no regard for the fact that ranting makes them feel better but ruins someone else's entire day.

The stereotype that women gossip more and are drama is because women were excluded from work until recently. So their brains kept working and it would come out as gossip, since patriarchy/whatever you want to call it excluded them from being useful with their brain. Men can be very gossipy too.

Psychology is a very Eurocentric field and often doesn't serve people from collectivist cultures. I'm not hating on therapists btw- I'm incredibly indebted to amazing therapists that I've met who have helped me tremendously.

Remarkable scenes at Wikipedia, where founder Jimmy Wales is resorting to some extraordinary mental gymnastics to argue against the existence of the Gaza genocide article on the basis that partisan opinions should be given the same weight as impartial facts.

Oh so the attack is magically not terrorism anymore now that the skin colour of the suspect is neither brown nor olive and he's not Muslim. Figures.

Thoughts to the victims of the attack today. And, as usual, I can tell the skin colour and religion of the attacker based on how the attack is characterised by counterterrorism police.

Could the ICC pursue Emirati complicity for RSF crimes in Sudan’s Darfur?
The International Criminal Court has investigated Sudanese nationals for Darfur atrocities. But how about the RSF’s main providers of arms?

I'm not against music but I can see why some people say it's haraam. And I have felt the barakah in my life when I would substitute it for Qur'an and nice ethiopian nasheeds ☺️
