Thanks @brendanwalsh53 for inviting me to offer my thoughts on the recent far-right riots. Published in this week's @The_Tablet

[Brendan Walsh @brendanwalsh53]

Muslim women are already reduced to stereotypes: either they are empowered heroines rejecting patriarchal religious teachings or victims of a misogyny said to run deep within Islam. Now many are feeling more fearful and vulnerable than ever @ThisisSamiaRah in this week’s @The_Tablet https://t.co/R8XG2zRpOW

Reading back emails with @MosabAbuToha from 2020 when I commissioned his work. One poem began: 'The Safest Place in Gaza. So where to hide?' The poignancy..

[The New Yorker @NewYorker]

The Palestinian poet @MosabAbuToha lives with his wife and three children in Gaza. Over the weekend, Israeli forces reportedly detained Abu Toha in central Gaza. The New Yorker joins other organizations in calling for his safe return.

@ahmed_nilufar @SaraNAhmed Thank you @ahmed_nilufar for sharing #feministkilljoy solidarity ❤️

[Samia Rahman @ThisisSamiaRah]

@SaraNAhmed Thank you! Every sentence spoke truth to power and that gave me life.

[Samia Rahman @ThisisSamiaRah]

Sitting in the sunshine reading @SaraNAhmed and so many passages resonate and inspire. This in particular made me stop and reflect: 'resignation can be an act of #feminist protest.. By going you are saying: I will not reproduce what I cannot bear.'

[Samia Rahman @ThisisSamiaRah]

You can now listen to myself, @shamim1 and @gilesgoddard untangle notions of #Liberty at last year's @BradfordLitFest chaired by the inimitable @shanonshah. Looking forward to being back at #BLF this year. https://t.co/22xgfhgWOP
