Reading this on the longest night of the year (for the northern hemisphere), after some devastating personal news, was the light I needed to remind me of the messy beauty of the big picture. Thank you 💖

This post was the catalyst to such a huge shift in my state of hopelessness. I’ve felt stuck for almost the entire year. I haven’t found the space to be able to cry, laugh and be messy like this for a long time. My fight is everyone’s fight. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful piece Ayesha ❤️. The phrase "narrow capitalist definitions" has stuck with me since I first read this newsletter. As I've been processing it I'm realizing how constructing Capitalism and Colonialism is!! I'm finding language to better express this liberation journey I'm on which by the way has been so freeing 🤭 Shukran Ayesha ❤️

Every time I consider unsubscribing because money is tight and every penny counts, I read one of your essays and am reminded that this newsletter is worth so much more. Your labour and time and energy and wisdom - priceless. Thank you for this; it’s beautiful and is exactly what I needed to hear/read in this moment.
