I'm over representation politics (and you should be too)...
This may seem like an odd thing to say for a person who writes under the umbrella of "Letters from a Muslim Woman", but I am not going "anti-woke"

I sat down with my friend Amanda B. Hinton earlier this week to discuss Gaza, the Israel Lebanon ceasefire, and what writers can do in a time of war to share humanity.

This would also be my assumption- I haven’t seen any account like this raise funds but they are no doubt planning a grift of some sort
Thanks Molly. It looks like Wizard Bisan’s account is fake. I suspect Hind Khoudary’s is too

I uh would not follow a Wizard Bisan account unless she verified it was her on another platform

Even my cold is embarrassed
by its existence
in the face of the missing limbs
Of tents
made of sheets and ripped canvas
leaking rain through the fabric of their roof

A lot of coverage recently of Israeli quadcopters killing civilians in Gaza, including in NPR.

⁦‪Spencer Ackerman‬⁩ wrote about this dangerous and horrifying new trend for Zeteo more than six months ago.

Israel is pioneering yet another deadly innovation in drone warfare. What happens in Gaza won't stay there.

One of my happiest, small pleasures is finding an old hijab I forgotten about at the back of my closet and having it re-enter my rotation

I want to write about Muslim men. About the Muslim men I know. About the soft Muslim men I know.
I want to tell you about my Khalo, my mother’s brother, who bakes olives into his homemade focaccia and roasts whole garlic heads on the barbecue. nohabeshir.substack.com/p/the-muslim...
