A very joyous day for me to finally meet @abdallahaljazzar.bsky.social in the flesh after 4 yrs since our first email exchange.

It was also my absolute pleasure to meet up with you!
My Diary of a homesick Gazan abroad. In Ireland, I am alive and safe. But survival feels hollow without the people, places, and routines that once sustained me. @972mag.com

Thanks for giving it a shot!
A young person stands smiling, wearing a green Maynooth University hoodie and a backpack, leaning against a stone ledge. In the background, there is a glass building with the words "Ollscoil MhΓ‘ Nuad" prominently displayed. Several blurred figures walk by on the sidewalk.
"At night, I dream my brother Nour is looking for me. βIβm in Ireland, Habibiβ I say to him. βEverything is green and lovely'."

Hey I have been evacuated from Gaza last Wednesday, August 27, and Iβm attending @maynoothuniversity.ie for a master in literature of engagement and I feel a significant contribution to dedicate my time and effort to my academic trip. If you are close this Tuesday to Maynooth let me know please!
I'm hungry.
In Gaza, food drops come with fear, not relief. My latest for Truthout: Aid has become a tracking deviceβdelivered by drones, watched by guns.

Weβre called men, but we cry like boys. We bury like fathers, though weβre still just sons.
This is what masculinity looks like in Gaza.
I lived it. I wrote it.
