My Grandpa Dave told me he was sure he was gay when he was moving into his dorm room freshman year of college and there was a boy “with the prettiest eyes;” after Grandpa passed, I learned from my mother who that boy was. His name was John Kander. After college, John, along with his partner Fred Ebb, would go on to compose two of the greatest Broadway musicals of all-time.

Seeing the families of Sheikh Jarrah in Jerusalem face colonization in real time, and push back against it, has me thinking about our family home — also in Jerusalem — which you can see just over my shoulder here. My grandparents, Salwa and Sama’an (my namesake), were both from Nazareth, which is where they met and fell in love and were married in 1946. They eventually saved enough money to move to the big city, West Jerusalem. Soon they had a daughter, Naifeh.

I don’t usually do threads but today I wanna tell y’all why these 20 seconds of footage of a kid in a blue and red jacket stage diving at a Bad Brains concert at CBGB’s in NYC in 1982 are important. Then I wanna tell y’all this kid’s story. This footage is important because it might be the earliest documentation of a Palestinian kid engaging with American culture (or more correctly, counterculture.) That kid’s name is Najeeb “Geeby” Dajani and he’s my new hero. He was already a legend before ‘82, tho.

For @Complex:

The last thing I did before I went iso mode is spend a day with @DonToliver, who told me his life story up to this point as a five-act film.

Big thank you to @ericskelton for calling on me for this one 🙏🏻

complex.com/music/don-toli… ImageImageImageImage Made a playlist of all the songs mentioned in my profile of @DonToliver, in case you want to listen as you read 👌🏻

(can send you Apple or TiDal links if you need)
