Every book I read in 2026, part 5 Fustuk by @apelian.bsky.social is a majestic landmark in Armenian and West Asian comic storytelling. Heartbreaking, uplifting, haunting, whimsical, with Robert's extraordinary art, a story ostensibly just about Armenian-Arab and Persian cuisine is so, so much more.
Rachel Bitcofer is an unrepentant Anti-Palestinian racist justifying genocide on Palestinians. Too many people on here follow her including a good handful of my mutuals. Unfollow and block her (@/rachelbitecofer.bsky.social).
Every book I read in 2026, part 4 Minority Rule by Ash Sarkar is a brilliantly incisive analysis of the cultural forces that work to divide the working class from rising up against ita oppressors. A truly urgent read for us all.
Bless @katya-zamo.bsky.social for always having good TASTE!!!! #DisclosureDay
Liberal Zionists continue to intentionally bely the fact that there is no "vibrant Jewish state" without the genocide and ethnic cleansing of non-Jews from Palestine. We must all reject ethnonationalism that causes this delusion and work for pluralist and anticolonoalist indiegenous sovereignty.
Manifesting that Stephanie Williams is the next mainline #WonderWoman writer and/or she gets to write a #Nubia ongoing series.
We don't usually see each other's headers. Here's mine. Quote post with yours (if you feel like it)
And this is how Israelis reacted to this news on a Telegram channel, with cheers and and laughter.
No lies detected! And go see #ILoveBoosters if you haven't already! But even then go see it again!
#DeliBoys Season 2 is as brilliant as ever. We need more episodes for these amazing characters and story though! Hilarious, violent, and trippy allowing brown Muslims to have a rich complexity of storytelling. Need Season 3 ASAP!!!
Go see #ILoveBoosters as soon as you can!!! An searing amazingly searing surrealist commentary on our consumerist society and how we can perservere thru it. Boots Riley's trademark direction and script and the fantastic performances make it one you can't miss! 10/10
And the thing is they should KNOW better by now. Lebanese actress Aline Elasmar is fantastic as Talia Al-Ghul on the #HarleyQuinn show!
Every Book I read in 2026, part 3 Took me a while but I finally finished Hafsah Faizal's magnificent debut, "We Hunt the Flame." Hafsah's extraordinary prose, character work, and vivid storytelling have pushed the bar wondwefully for Arab and other SWANA storytelling with Arawiya.
#TheSheepDetectives is amazing! So much heart, intrigue, humor, and lovelt story that will make you appreciate the wonderful world of sheep! It follows so wonderfully in the legacy of Babe and other farm animal films. And effects on the sheep were great too! Out next weekend! 9/10
So excited to read Fustuk! Armenian and Persian fantasy FTW!Շնորհավորում եմ @apelian.bsky.social!!!
