This is a poem I wrote in 2021 as part of this essay on the vaccine apartheid. It is so depressing how in more ways than we can count, for more and more people, this earth is deliberately being made a mass grave. One day, "some will die" may become "all must die".

"decolonisation would wither into a demand to belong to the universities but not yet for the universities to belong to us, & we would be interpellated into adopting minoritarian vocabularies & sensibilities at odds with the liberatory impulse of decolonisation in our context." Joel Modiri, 2019.

"Sometimes equality is…

Too quiet a word,

Too small a word,

A not-enough word,

A word not able to bear the weight of yesterday,

Not strong enough to carry tomorrow’s visions…

Sometimes equality does not say enough."

Super excited to get my hands on this book!!! My chapter, in it "Black/African science fiction and imaginative resistance," argues that B/A Sci Fi can be used in conjunction with legal history to reveal how the law facilitates disparate allocations of time with material consequences.

I think I relate to Ahmet most because my guy just wants to go on holiday and Esra and Halit just keep chaotically adding to his workload. His flexible working arrangement is all over the place!!!

I very much recommend that you watch "Ends" by Ahir Shah on Netflix. It will make you laugh, it will make you cry, it will make you think and it will stay with you.

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?

Something I wrote about the 1994 Genocide in Rwanda and the world's willingness to sit on its hands while othered others died. We always say "never again," and then we forget and distort memory... till the next "never again."

For children born into the shadows of Empire, we are always too strange to be home anywhere. Never enough for home. Yet, we carry home heavy on our skin. Home is a dangerous spirit. Home is a restless soul.

The ancestors do not sleep. Their blood cries out. Their afterlives are busy. History is active. The museum is not just those buildings. Repatriation is also about the return of intangible and unquantifiable things.
