every single part of this is making me pause to process it, it's just so overwhelmingly but simply true.

"Dear Palestine, your freedom is my freedom. My freedom is your freedom." this especially could not be more true. I attempted to explain this concept (though vaguely) in my latest essay, and reading yours now has inspired me to delve further into it

I just read your substack post, it resonates true, especially the words that we cannot ignore the atrocities simply because it’s happening to another group.

my god, this is such an accurate reflection of my brain’s dialogue and our out of body experiences as well

Sayeda your post ‘when the story unfolds right side up’ was what inspired me to finish this. It had been sitting in my notes app for a couple weeks, painfully collecting dust. I’m glad you saw yourself in it and thank you for your writing!
