I read this book during the worst of my illness and I struggle to remember anything from that time but every single thing that happened in this book is marked in my brain like ink under the skin. I love it so much, like a home.

A question to my friends and followers, especially those who have worked on/for fundraisers etc. I need to raise funds for my brother's short and long term treatment, and I'm thinking of doing artworks (digital and traditional) for cheap rates. Do any of you have any advice for this??

Bara’a sent me these photos today, describing the agonizing reality of trying to get basic dental care in Al-Mawasi. Today, her fight isn't just against displacement—it's against unbearable pain. just an exhausting, dusty wait under the burning sun just to find any way to reach a dentist.😮‍💨 🧵👇

Dont miss this one! My blurb: As fun--& funny--a book about the tragedy of growing up poor & a woman in India as you're likely to read, fishing bright, barbed new folklores & horrors out of the roiling ocean of hopelessness that threatens to drown the life of a small-town Indian schoolgirl.

'A year feels an age, a week passes in an instant, time is measured by the snaps of wood in the fire, by the feel of the night, the shades of it in the sky--then by the ticking of a gold watch, and suddenly it is centuries later and the city has been remade.' - Sara Hinkley THE RED SACRAMENT

THE RED SACRAMENT uses undeath to witness Empire's heartbeat, its cyclical rise & fall, the web of blood that connects history & feeds the undying beast of Capital, bringing old gods & humanity itself to heel. So ambitious yet precise, gorgeously written, deserves a place alongside the classics.

This is what rigging in a democracy-turned-fascist ethnostate looks like. Even as Opposition parties & other groups protest the regime's vote rigging and mass disenfranchisement of Indians in Delhi, the BJP happily turned a by-poll in my state into a one-party election in their favour.

More people should be angry about DR of Congo and Sudan. I don’t think anyone who is honest would disagree. How are you protesting for those regions? Are you currently looking for people to support through mutual aide?
