Academic. Writing/complaining mostly about women’s inequality in the Middle East, especially in Saudi Arabia!
Nearly 4,000 pregnancy losses during the first six months of 2026, reaching a peak of 920 in April. And 1,200 miscarriages in the second half of 2025. #Gaza www.972mag.com/gaza-genocid...

Saudi Arabia’s economy shrank 4.8% year over year in Q2 2026 (the steepest decline since the COVID-19 pandemic) primarily because the US-Iran war caused a 24.7% collapse in the oil sector after the Strait of Hormuz was effectively closed to shipping.
Kellie-Jay Keen’s latest anti-Muslim angle: from “Free Your Face” last year to this today.
Earlier today, I joined BBCArabic to discuss the escalating tensions between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia.
MBS turning international banking into a playground tantrum: “You can’t play with us. I’m taking my toys and going home.” giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...
Keir Starmer will be remembered as a supporter of genocide. To him, “cutting our water, cutting our power” appears entirely acceptable when Israel does it. What a disgraceful legacy to leave behind.
Western media is once again selling its soul to the Saudi regime.Phillip Noyce is the latest to trade his reputation for "glossy propaganda." Saudi Arabia executed 243 people for drug offenses,now, they’ve commissioned a "heroic" tribute to that same enforcement. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...
Several people familiar with the situation said Riyadh received little warning and no opportunity to negotiate before a formal letter was delivered to Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman, the Saudi oil minister. “They knew this was coming, but some people are upset that they were not given a heads-up”
The coordinated backlash from pro-Israel voices against @owenjones.bsky.social and @zackpolanski.bsky.social says a lot… maybe it’s time to vote Green.
Here we go again, the usual suspects attacking Zack while recycling the same pro-Israel narratives and smears. Their credibility ran out long ago
“Starmer says Polanski ‘is not fit to lead a political party’ after Golders Green police criticism.” Rich coming from the worst, lowest-rated political leader we’ve had.
On Palestinian Prisoners Day we were at Downing St protesting @pscupdates.bsky.social @stwc.bsky.social
More than 1.1 million people, including nearly 400,000 children, have been forced to flee their homes by Israeli bombing and displacement. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...
“American bases in Saudi Arabia must be closed,” Maryam Aldossari, the spokeswoman for a Saudi opposition party in exile @The_NAAS , wrote on social media this week. “They exist only to protect Israel while putting our civilian lives at risk.” archive.ph/2026.03.17-0...
UNICEF says more than 1,100 children have been injured or killed since the war between the US, Israel and Iran began on Feb 28.
The bombing of a girls’ primary school in Minab, in southern Iran, further illustrates the lethal risks of quickly generated or improperly vetted targets, although it remains unclear if and how much AI systems were involved in that operation. www.ft.com/content/fedb...
A one-year-old girl killed under the rubble of her home in Tehran after US-Israeli missiles hit it. This what they call “regime change” and “liberation.” aje.news/4oungf?updat...
Women Facing the Death Penalty in Saudi Arabia: Invisibility and Structural Injustice alqst.org/uploads/wome... by @alqst.bsky.social
Southall Black Sisters @sbsisters.bsky.social taking part in Million Women Rise.
At Million Women Rise, we run into pro Royalist, pro Israel, and pro Trump supporters. It’s a really disgusting combination, and even more horrifying that they exist among us.
Today’s talk was about Zionism, gender, and colonial violence.

Saudi Arabia is weaponising its anti-cybercrime law to silence free expression. Arresting six people for “provoking public opinion” and threatening them with 5 years in prison and $800k fines. www.ft.com/content/e8e2...
