In this piece, Nawal Muradwij connects losing her

In this piece, Nawal Muradwij connects losing her sunglasses at the beach in New York to the August 4 massacre in Beirut. She writes about existential shocks, trauma, and meaning-making in light of Beirut’s history, asking:⁣
⁣
“At what point might the attempt to create meaning feel futile, impossible, and at times, destructive? For us to create any kind of helpful or accurate “meaning” surrounding the explosion, the decades of humiliation and injustice that preceded it, and the inhumanity of the first week of August, would require us to try and make sense of the nature of our political system – this entrenched, humiliating institution that has held an exuberant amount of our power over our heads for decades.”⁣

Yusra Bitar reflects on the grief she felt as fore

Yusra Bitar reflects on the grief she felt as forest fires ravaged through Lebanon over the past year and the importance of the October 17 Revolution mobilizing for climate justice. She writes of how her deep love for the earth comes with deep anger — "Anger at the world systems, anger at the fires and the authority’s inability to properly deal with them, and an intense, flashing desire for our revolution to also work and mobilize on issues related to the changing climate."⁣

Accompanying the essay are Hadi Afif’s fiery photographs from his “October 18” series.⁣
