Today, Prism is publishing a monthslong investigation by @laubast.bsky.social in partnership with Visualizing Palestine, that takes a deep dive into the experiences of repression that Palestinian, Arab, & Muslim journalists face in the U.S. while attempting to cover the genocide.

We're heartbroken to share the news that reporter Ahmed Abdel Aziz, pictured below on the right & a crucial source for this story, was one of the many reporters killed by Israel in the bombing of Nasser Hospital on August 25. prismreports.org/2025/07/30/g...

“Criticism, like all good things, is about the discovery of the self inspired by our interaction with an art form that tells us about our world. It too is an ‘empathy machine.’”

In my Locarno wrap up for @ebertvoices.bsky.social I wonder about what the future holds.

With a heavy heart, I share that I’ve lost my father, my home, and my livelihood because of the war in Ga..za.💔
Every bit of support, whether a donation or just a share, makes a huge difference.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

New Substack post! I wrote about the plague of revivals and reboots and sequels on TV, and what is lost in the streaming era. Check it out :)

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Mohammed. Mohammed was an administrative worker at an electronic archive before this. He has two children Kinaz, 3 and Kinan, 1.5. Kinaz has very bad psoriasis since birth that he was taking her to specialists for before the war began.

For @thepolisproject.bsky.social, I wrote about the selective politics and empathy of The Hunger Games fandom, who will mourn for fictional characters but not for those suffering in real life. It’s a piece I am very proud of, so pls give it a read :)
