La vie est tellement stressante que nous avons besoin de mourir un peu chaque jour. -Youssef Rakha
So much love for this mixtape-essay by @Sultans_Seal, friends. So much affection, recognition, and love for it.

إنك ذاهب إلى البار ليوسف رخا / لذيذذذة.
أخيرًا صدرت النهارده في أقل من ١٠٠ صفحة خاتمة التماسيح "إنك ذاهب إلى البار". فيها واحد بيحب الشخص الغلط وواحد تاني بيغتصبه فضائيين. وفيها حادثة ع الطريق الصحراوي. شكرًا للمتوسط اللي خدوها بعد ما آخرين خافوا، وإلى اللقاء في معرض كتاب القاهرة. almutawassit.it/book/2585
“It’s easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism, Mark Fisher said. The end of the world has already been called forth in Gaza. You can see what it looks like online. And who is perpetrating it.”
great piece on the casual yet fierce dehumanization of arabs that is shot right through ‘western liberal democracy,’ top to bottom.

“We are not numbers, the dead keep crying out on my timeline.” @Sultans_Seal on bearing witness and the unbearable truth of this moment.

I wrote about how Gaza has made me rethink my personhood, and sharing the piece feels like coming out: guernicamag.com/i-ghost/
الأصدقاء في @Almutawassitit رفعولي معنوياتي وسط الأيام الصعبة
"من ساعة ما بدأت أحداث فلسطين وأنا حاسس باستغناء غير مسبوق عن أي اهتمام أو اعتراف يجي من الغرب. يمكن حتى الإحساس رايح أبعد من كده: إنك تكون معروف أو محتفى بيك هناك دي حاجة تِكسِف وتشكّك في مصداقيتك كشخص من البلاد دي أصلًا."

"الفكرة إنه من ساعة ما بدأت أحداث فلسطين وأنا حاسس باستغناء غير مسبوق عن أي اهتمام أو اعتراف يجي من الغرب" أنا كتبت حاجة صغيرة كده معليش: tinyurl.com/yocgthoy
"فأعرف أن الشوق ليس سوى المياه التي تقطر من أجسامنا حين يعصرنا الفراق" أعرف مفردة الديم لكن بعد وصف يوسف رخا كأني تعلّمت كلمة جديدة
Very happy to be in the third issue of @thedialmag, with an essay about one of my favorite authors (thanks @seagullbooks) that was incredibly long in the coming: thedial.world/issue-3/egypt-…
علاقات أقمتُ فيها سنين وخرجتُ منها دون أنْ أُمَس. وأخرى لم تدم أيامًا وسعيت مستميتًا لإزالتها .. لكنّها تعيش فيّ كفئران تقرض أحشائي. - يوسف رخا، ولكن قلبي
