أفحسب الحمامة أن تحلق في السماء
ليحل السلام؟

ما دام في القلب وجدٌ
فما نفعُ الحمام؟

مُدُّوا إليّ بعاتقٍ
أو قلبٍ بخفة ريشة
لا ثقلَ إنسان،
كي أدلي عليه رقبتي،
وأغرق في الحب حتى أنام.

March photo dump, anyone?

AI slop prose cannot compete against my writing style of overly academic, mixed with terminally online slang and the awkward phrasing of a non-native english speaker, which is why AI is bad

@rfateen I’m dead 😂

started journaling in masri a while ago and was surprised by how expressive and poetic our dialect can be tho I learned to talk about my feelings and thoughts in english. now I feel like I unlocked something new in me

I was today’s years old when I realised I’ve been running wrong my whole life

it’s always cute when the yoga girlies make it to the gym floor. not enough violence for the machines

total lunar eclipse on my coming bday. not sure what that means but I’ll remember it 💀

[Asma @_asmaamah]

@rfateen proud to be your friend, because the values you hold yourself up to -even when you struggle to follow- remind me of who I should aspire to be. and our friendship has always been that reminder.

love you 🤍

we need a version for males

“she’s just not that into you”

one day, we thought our voices could change something, but it left us wounded forever 💔

remember rabaa

[Tariq Kenney-Shawa @tksshawa]

They’re not trying to hide it. Israel fabricated “evidence” to claim that Anas was a Hamas member, as they always do. Doesn’t matter that this was debunked months ago, doesn’t matter that their “evidence” isn’t independently verifiable. All that matters is no one will stop them.

random people in cafes and restaurants making it to my poems without them having any idea 🤙🏼

يكفينا الله، وهو أفضل من نكل إليه أمرنا.

[Asma @_asmaamah]

everytime i leave egypt it’s cause I’m deeply hurt disappointed and my nervous system screaming for it..

[Asma @_asmaamah]

@AlKaneSH you’re so funny 😂

“now is time for peace” is DIABOLICAL 💀

[Pop Base @PopBase]

Donald Trump announces the U.S. has bombed three nuclear sites in Iran.

“NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE!”

هل تصلكم منشوراتنا؟
هل تصلكم أحداثنا؟
نحاول بصعوبة بالغة الاستمرار في النشر...
نكتب تحت القصف، ونوثّق وسط الانقطاع، ونُرسل ما تبقى من صوتنا رغم كل محاولات العزل والطمس.

we’re not the same. i like to deep clean my space so i can have a breakdown
