Rusted Radishes: Beirut Literary and Art Journal @RustedRadishes·

Today, the whole world is watching. We need a member of every single household in Lebanon in the streets today - and tomorrow and after.

We clean the rubble. We raise the funds. We make the policies. We save each other. We make the country.

The next step: We are the government

Repost from @ranaabdelhamid ⁣ Six ways for Arabs

Repost from @ranaabdelhamid ⁣
Six ways for Arabs to resist anti-blackness⁣
・・・⁣
@mafazalsuwaidan and I worked on another post rooted in real accountable love for the Arab community and an acknowledgment of the anti-Black violence that manifests in so many of our spaces. we encourage you to read through these slides and really spend some time with yourself, your family and your community reflecting on how we can unlearn the biases we’ve internalized and check all the ways we uphold anti-Blackness in our spaces. Black Lives Matter. Black Lives Matter. Black Lives Matter.

excerpt from “asmar” by Safia Elhillo⁣⁣
•⁣⁣
The poem “asmar” by Sudanese-American poet Safia Elhillo navigates anti-blackness within Arab-speaking communities. Her language carries with it the heaviness, anger, ache, and beauty of her experience shifting between multiple spaces. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
In "asmar", Elhillo shows how she and her girls are referred to as عبيد, the Arabic word for slaves; how she is asked “sudan/ really but you look so clean”; how her women sought whiteness “with creams & veils & fire/ to kill the curl’’. But Elhillo affirms her blackness, writing, “black that holds up against language & sea black the only name assigned my body that ever felt like mine”.⁣⁣

In a thoughtful observation of a world under lockd

In a thoughtful observation of a world under lockdown, Sima Qunsol explores changes in the weather, intimacy with strangers, and the timeless work of John Berger.⁣
⁣
"...I occupy myself with spring, measuring the passage of time through the departure and arrival of fruits. We forwent the superstore when the lockdown began in favor of a produce truck which visited our neighborhood every Wednesday. With the idleness of quarantine life, fruit-shopping became the event of the week. Today we part with clementines, today we welcome the watermelon."⁣
