And now that I am here! Small reminder that there is just a few weeks left to see BEYOND THE BASSLINE! what a journey it has been so far. thank you to everyone who has visited, shared their thoughts and sent me personal messages reflecting on the journey the exhibition provoked.

I hate that anything short of this - meeting hatred with smiles, generosity, abundance - is used as a stick to beat PoC with. I hate that we are not allowed to react to abuse with pain and anger. I hate that this is how we have to survive

This is a brilliant video that clarifies what Islamophobia is, made by Muslim Council of Britain. It's 2:21. If you aren't sure you fully understand Islamophobia, please take time to watch it. youtu.be/et7AjJypoik

you mumbled ‘it’s complicated’. you called those standing up against Islamophobic violence ‘naive’. you spat out ‘activist’ like it was a bad word. did you really think it would stay off your doorstep? did you think ‘only’ Gazan libraries would be burnt?

I feel such choking anger against those who treated us like naughty tiresome children. daring to spoil a nice day at a book festival by talking about the systematic devaluation of Muslim lives in every inch of our media!! shut up and revere the power of 💫books💫!

I am *begging* institutions to do more for their students right now than to tell them to seek care from other frightened, threatened PoC

we are a resource for one another. we are NOT a resource for majority-white institutions seeking to evade care work and save time!
