Sweet sixteenth. 27 January 2009 🇬🇧 Arrived with two suitcases and a five year visa.
They’ll laugh at you, they’ll call you names, they’ll say you’ll fail, they’ll be wrong. Here’s to ignoring all the conditioning to appease the crabs in the bucket, and choosing your future.

A very messy 24 hours in 🇳🇱 with Bekki and Eyad. We were all coached by my dad, Eyad 15 years later than Bekki and me, and we’d never hung out altogether before. From Syria to Napier, via West Auckland, to an Irish pub in Amsterdam 😂

Twitter was such a big part of my history, activism, growth as a writer, and connection to my friends, but it’s gone. I’m not ready to delete 17 years of that history yet but this was necessary.

She spent the day helping me sub pieces about misogyny in tech (complete with email receipts), urban noir and cleaning an AR-15 as a metaphor for my mid-twenties. It’s no wonder she’s tired 😂
