Every week I read a book - poetry, fiction, non-fiction - and post book reviews for patrons on Patreon.

The reviews are part of the new forms of writing I’m moving into and the Patreon is a way for supporters of my work to help me stay independent.

I am increasingly interested in writing about art, culture, anarchism and the ways all those influence my feminism.

Supporters of my work will see how that new work emerges and I will share with them new writing as it happens.

A future project will incorporate all three: I learned via my readings last year about 19th century Argentinian anarcha-feminists. Fuck yes

Feminism terrifies authoritarians. I wrote this when #Saudi Crown Prince Mohamed Bin Salman began an unprecedented crackdown on women’s rights activists May 2018 that continues today. 13 of the activists are still on trial, five of them still in detention

The biggest threat the detained feminists pose to MBS & #Saudi regime is that their brave work has always been about more than abolishing the driving ban. It is about abolishing the guardianship system, the embodiment of patriarchy.
The vanguard of the social revolution in #Saudi Arabia is not a crown prince who claims to be an emancipator of women. The true leaders are the feminists he has detained and banned from travel for daring to demand their freedom.

Loujain al-Hathloul was arrested May 2018 along with more than a dozen women’s rights activists. #Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s aide Saud al-Qahtani, personally oversaw her interrogation, including waterboarding, threatening to rape & kill her.

We remember you Loujain
Loujain is among #Saudi women’s rights activists who fought to end the driving ban (now lifted) & male guardianship system.

Still detained: Loujain al-Hathloul, Samar Badawi, Nassima al-Sada, Nouf Abdulaziz and Maya’a al-Zahrani.

Along with the five women still in detention, eight other women’s rights activists are also standing trial:

Eman al-Nafjan, Aziza al-Yousef, Amal al-Harbi, Dr Ruqayyah al-Mharib, Shadan al-Anezi, Dr. Abir Namankni, Dr Hatoon al-Fassi, and an anonymous activist.
