Today, I get to talk about two books that mean a lot to me.
First, I'll be on a virtual event by @Lighthousebks to talk about @Elias_Jahshan anthology #ThisArabIsQueer, to which I contributed an essay, excerpted here feministgiant.com/p/essay-the-de…

Today is the born day of Black bisexual poet and feminist activist #JuneJordan. 
I quote her in just about every essay:
“Like a lot of Black women, I have always had to invent the power my freedom requires." feministgiant.com/p/essay-inciti… #JuneJordan
“Like a lot of Black women, I have always had to invent the power my freedom requires." feministgiant.com/p/essay-inciti… #JuneJordan
#JuneJordan is one of my favourite poets and activists. Her words are tattooed on my right arm. She wrote “Poem About Police Violence” after police chocked to death a Black man called Arthur Miller in Brooklyn, New York, June 14, 1978. lambdaliterary.org/wp-content/upl…
I've watched it three times already. It went places I was not expecting. Essay coming soon...
As I've said, I am 54yo and I can barely watch films or TV shows these days because they are about either high school students or people who are 31 years old.

I'm writing about pleasure & desire, what we're allowed to want, what we're allowed to "take," how to free ourselves from shame. And Good Luck to You, Leo Grande jumps into that fray. Until my essay read an excerpt from my essay in #ThisArabIsQueer feministgiant.com/p/essay-the-de…
In many non-Western countries, speaking about such things as desire is scorned as “white” or “Western” behavior. I’ve been accused of being “obsessed” with sex because I insist on talking openly about desire. feministgiant.com/p/essay-my-des…
Being able to speak of our desire - without fear, without penalty, and on the way of being ourselves - is at the heart of being free. So I’m thrilled that wonderful book exists 👇🏽
To desire and to be desired is political. How we fuck and who we fuck is political. Always the goal: to be free. And so I’m thrilled that this book exists and honoured I’m among its contributors #ThisArabIsQueer
Honoured and thrilled to be part of this wonderful and revolutionary anthology! Mabrouk and congratulations, Elias! 💜✊🏽❤️💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
