One day, everyone will have been against this. We will be looked at through history as the brave ones. The ones who did everything in our power to change the world, despite how much it was against us.

Does anyone know any Palestinian animators that would be willing to help me bring my short film to life???

I won a fellowship in January and we are meant to produce the films we wrote, and I wrote my short based on Refaat Alareer’s “If I Must Die.”

Willing to pay, of course. Please DM/reply!

My aunt started losing her sight because of the chemical warfare she is experiencing, and her family traveled north to find their apartment totally destroyed.

We’re trying to raise enough to get her family
receive medical care, afford rent, and get out.

Are you waiting for the racism and violence to be so in your face, you can’t think of an excuse to ignore it any longer?

I hate the term “those who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it,” because it is beyond obvious that even when you do know your history, you’re doomed.

I'm not going to say why I needed an edited image of Luigi Mangione as Chris Evans' Human Torch, but I will share this gift with the world.

Is this what will get me back into entertainment journalism??? 🧐🧐🧐

EVERY single journalist, in EVERY single field of journalism, should be speaking on this. Your silence is your permission to go after journalists like you, the moment it is most convenient.

*Bluesky only allows 4 images but there is a FIFTH image of 42 helmets.

Since my Bluesky is filled with my tv/film friends, I'm ecstatic to share I wrote my first short film last month, based off the last poem written by Refaat Alareer.

I'm really proud of it, and I hope to enter it in a few competitions soon. Insha'allah, it will get to be made one day.

So this is why they cut out the joke about the female reporter in Futurama making less than her co-worker..

I have a crush on my Dragon Age character. 🤦‍♂️

It’s our duty to post to our platforms responsibly. If you can’t do that, you don’t deserve to be a part of the conversation.

1) Isra*l isn’t at war with militants. It’s bombing CIVILIANS.

2) Constantly framing this as a “conflict” implies equality, where in fact the violence against Palestinians and is HUGELY disproportionately skewed. A kid throws a rock and he gets shot in the head.

I need Google Docs to tell me when someone is in a document BEFORE I open it, so I don't do this.

I did a reading for myself for the first time in ages because I didn’t know if I was on the right path, and THESE CARDS ALL IN A ROW??? My gods, I am delighted.

Very proud of my looks lately. This decision to wear makeup more often has been so invigorating!
