if you've ever accused me of murder then you have to preorder. this is not a threat. there is no reason to be uncomfortable around me, regardless of your state of residence. do not believe what you've heard.

If you value your long-term health and cognitive function, masking and protecting yourself from COVID are some of the highest ROI things you can do. I realize it’s not considered cool or fun to say this, but it’s true

An interesting dialogue that provokes questions of where genre comes from as much or more than questions of what it is. Does its description derive from an interpretation of observable form and tendency? Or is the naming of genre instead an *invocation* of form? lareviewofbooks.org/article/lett...

Couldn't be happier to have the first glimpse at my in-progress novel, Conjoined States, at @miznaarabart.bsky.social! Go read the full excerpt and check out the rest of the Tongues Untethered folio! mizna.org/mizna-online...

The following excerpt is part of the Mizna Online digital curation, Tongues Untethered: Cross-Cultural Writing and Identity Beyond Language. We encourage you to read this piece alongside other works in the folio.

Wahmi by Key K. Bird

Mirages are the perfect tool to counter knowledge brokers. Appearing online like a charm at the moment Know Bros needed a lead, mirages offered everything data chasers prayed for on their knees at night: insider intel, state secrets, and reasonably reliable rumors. Mirages promised the impossible, distracted Know Bros by feeding and misleading, granting them their most selfish wish: all the data they could ever ask for. Flooding data warehouses with invalid, outdated details, the agents behind the mirage used the storm to hide their tracks while they searched the brokerage for high-end assets: the names of investors who avoided paying taxes in one state by buying property in another, real estate developers who built state prisons that charged a nightly rate, and donors who bankrolled junior police academies in exchange for easy tax breaks. Once the agents had these winners’ names, they vanished along with the sand. And like real mirages, proving they’d ever existed was a pipe dream. Mirages fit the space where trust rubbed shoulders with belief. That’s why Rahmi Naifeh chose Wahmi as her codename. Close enough to her first name to have its own magnetic pull, wahmi winked at Rahmi like an Arabic abracadabra. Among other things, in Araby, wahmi means mirage.

Key K. Bird stands in front of a theatrical backdrop that shows a painted scene of a tree in a field with a curtain at its edge. Key wears a green keffiyeh, a mask embroidered with Palestinian tatreez, a brown blazer, vest, shirt, and pants. Their dark hair is curly and short. They face the viewer with a hand in their pocket. Text besides Key reads: "Wahmi by Key K. Bird, Mizna Online, Tongues Untethered." Mizna's colophon appears in the right corner in Arabic.

going out of your way to use generative AI companies like chatgpt and claude to write is bad. the issue isn’t that they’re technological tools, the issue is that these companies are built off of theft, enslaved Kenyan labour, and decimation of the earth.
