Experimented with some editing on these photos I took of artist and performer s3xorcist last night — I love low light photography because you get to play so much more ✨

It’s our little one’s birthday today 🥹

If you want to help a Palestinian family this holiday season, you can help Khalil and his fam survive the winter: bit.ly/KhalilFamily

If you got it this holiday season, please consider making a gift to support a family of 6 in Nuseirat 🙏🏽 they need support with rent, food, meds and cold weather supplies. Pls RT 💌 bit.ly/KhalilFamily

Hate to admit it, but these algorithms and platforms and hobby monetization have warped my relationship to the thing I loved doing the most - photography

I’m hosting a virtual poetry reading with a group of extremely talented human beings tomorrow, 11/29 @ 8 PM EST. Tix are on a sliding scale w/ proceeds going to mutual aid efforts in Gaza. If you can't attend, you can also make a donation: bit.ly/poets4gz #mutualaid #gaza #solidaritynotcharity

A lil virtual offering to help my friend Khalil and his family, as well as The Sameer Project. Friday, November 29th at 8 PM. Sliding scale tickets and more information available at bit.ly/poets4gz 🙏🏽

My friend Khalil has been sick for the last few weeks, once from shelling in Nuseirat and now with an infection in his blood. He urgently needs funds to cover medical expenses including life saving medicines to stop the infection. Please share and give what you can: bit.ly/KhalilFamily

It’s #TransDayofRemembrance and I’m thinking about beloved community we’ve lost: la madre de las putas/Mother of Whores Cecilia Gentili and the budding fashion icons Tommy Playboy and Jzhara “Femmie” Williams. May their memories and legacy be a blessing.

Black Forest is a participatory art project recording the names and stories of Black lives lost to racial injustices and inequalities and planting trees for them. Be part of this archival project and help plant 40 trees in “asthma alley” in the South Bronx: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Thinking about doing another print sale for mutual aid since the last one I did raised almost $1k - would y’all buy these?

Slowly moving from Twitter/X here and giving this platform a try. For new folks, I’m a narrative researcher specializing in social justice movement communications and mis/disinfo using computational linguistics. I also take photos and write sometimes: substack.com/@shairacnyc
