oh i so appreciate you both weighing in on this! i really don't enjoy how my mind has shifted to keep up with the substack algorithm so emotionally easier sounds ideal. thank you for the push!!

really enjoyed this piece and your take as i’ve been strongly considering the switch myself

i use Libro.fm for my ebook purchases (we don't have Bookshop.org in Canada), but libro lets you choose which indie bookstore you'd like to support and a portion of each purchase goes to that store!

yes! big fan of Tamimi and cook lots from the Boustany cookbook. Fadi Kattan also shares recipes in Bethlehem cookbook. Lama explores a lot of the questions you pose through this interview we had and in her writing as well, from where she lives in Palestine
