Finished Hollow Fires by Samira Ahmed last night. It's gripping, sad, and fierce all at the same time. Explores themes of racism, Islamophobia, white supremacist terrorism, and police malcompetence in an extremely timely manner.

Including Sabaa Tahir, Sabina Khan, and Adiba Jaigirdar, I've been reading a ton of great YA books by south Asian muslim authors recently, all discovered via the "grab something off the YA shelf by a probably-not-white author" method that has yet to fail me. Turns out the racism in publishing that puts a higher bar in front of authors of color at least makes it easy to find good books in one way >:(

When I heard the news that the US bombed Iran. I had to remind myself of what I witnessed this past week - millions of people turned out for #NoKings. Three retiree women in a coffee shop planning their resistance. And these fiber art designs in Lanesboro, MN I saw this weekend.

Now they seek to bring their poly-rhythmic jams, strange clothing and liberated masculinity in to your living room
One thing that came to mind, reading about the BBC putting up a paywall, is how much a lot of US perception of the UK, and especially London, is shaped by the most extreme right wing bloviators.
When a left-wing muslim became the presumptive candidate for NY mayor, many people were losing their minds.
Pointing out that London has had a left-wing muslim mayor for almost a decade is met with a conception of London that is a mix of sharia law and knife murders.
