One day, everyone will have been against this. We will be looked at through history as the brave ones. The ones who did everything in our power to change the world, despite how much it was against us.

Editing a piece while someone else is in it will never NOT feel weird to me. It's like, "ma, I'm getting changed!! Get out!!" 😭

Cuz like, if I open that up and someone is editing I pop right back out and let them do their thing, you know?! THERE ISN'T ROOM IN THERE FOR THE BOTH OF US.

This industry doesn’t ever do enough to address the source of failures like Snow White. It is not simply because it’s a bad film, but because of blind faith and support for a genocidal, racist ethnic-state.

Call it what it is. Hollywood’s Zionism is its own demise, and these flops are proof.

In a few years, the public and the industry will look upon that speech with awe and respect, and responses like Jackson’s and Selma Gomez’ will be pegged as the racist, classless reactions they were.

The problem isn’t the speech being political, but that the politics of the speech went against social norms and the industry’s systemic racist value.

His comment reminds me of how audiences booed Sacheen Littlefeather’s speech in ‘73. She was on the right side of history - they were not.

I wanna say something about Sam L Jackson’s “that speech is political” remark re: No Other Land’s win:

FILM IS POLITICAL! It has always been! And throughout the existence of the Academy SEVERAL speeches were just as political, and were greatly applauded.

It’s the best of the bunch to be honest. All three seasons are way better than anything in the US.

Does anyone know any Palestinian animators that would be willing to help me bring my short film to life???

I won a fellowship in January and we are meant to produce the films we wrote, and I wrote my short based on Refaat Alareer’s “If I Must Die.”

Willing to pay, of course. Please DM/reply!

My aunt started losing her sight because of the chemical warfare she is experiencing, and her family traveled north to find their apartment totally destroyed.

We’re trying to raise enough to get her family
receive medical care, afford rent, and get out.

If any site hasn't already gotten coverage for Mo season 2 and is looking for a Palestinian critic viewpoint please reach out to me. I'm really shit at pitching before things come out, but would love to write about this for an outlet. :)

Are you waiting for the racism and violence to be so in your face, you can’t think of an excuse to ignore it any longer?

I hate the term “those who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it,” because it is beyond obvious that even when you do know your history, you’re doomed.

I'm so sick of people using MLK quotes to make themselves feel morally righteous when in the face of real adversity and racism they just sit back and let it all happen because they don't want to risk their careers. 🤮

The new report underscores the potential applications of the school’s research to Israel’s most recent military operations in Gaza. https://interc.pt/4anxSQ0
