Just finished reading this, and holy fuck is it good @dannyramadan.com Inhaled it. What an incredible read after having similarly inhaled Loubna Mrie’s “Defiance” recently.

★ In this deeply felt debut, Danny Ramadan details his path from Syria to Lebanon to Canada while interrogating the voyeuristic demands of memoirs about forced migration. Readers will find this both brilliant and destabilizing. @softskull www.publishersweekly.com/9781593768294

A trend I’ve noticed! Gay-baiting influencers on TikTok and instagram are suddenly affirming their heterosexuality. They post videos (scaled between funny and cringy) coming out as straight. I guess now that the political climate is shifting, they will take the money and run back to safety.

"I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational." - Charlie Kirk, speaking in an Turning Point USA event on April 5, 2023. #CharlieKirk

Hey #writers friends: do you engineer your #book titles according to marketability? My next novel is The Saltwater Requiem [working title] and I love it. It also works with my previous titles. But whenever I share it with others I get “huh?” As a response.

I'm on a sabbatical trying to write my next novel, but I couldn't say no to a school visit in my community a while back. Cheers to the teachers who planned it and were so welcoming. However, it has been on my mind since. Most of the Syrian children in that school stayed home for my visit.
