My podcast is back!
There are still many things in this world that make my head wanna explode, there are still many things to deconstruct, educate ourselves about, and oftentimes unlearn.
Yet what happened as my podcast was resting? A short answer is a lot.
A long answer includes the continuation of the war in Ukraine, imprisonment of Julian Assange, multiple elections in South America, protests in Iran, floods in Pakistan, and military occupation of Palestine.
These are the topics that I have written about as my podcast was resting (you can find all of them here, on this very same website), and some of them I will be covering in this upcoming season.
So thank you for being here, thank you for being curious and for caring. Let’s do this!
Thank you for sticking around and for caring, and for amplifying the ideas that need that amplification so much!

How the European Broadcasting Union Just Gave Eurovision Fans an Opportunity to Show Some Spine (Thanks to Israel)
Israel was just allowed to compete at Eurovision in 2026. This shows nothing new about Europe’s literally unstoppable desire to maintain good relations with Israel.

How Football Reminded Us about Two Parallel Worlds Recently — And Invited Us to Choose One
People like to talk about teams: “What team are you on?” In my video about two football matches that happened recently in Spain and Lithuania, quite literally, there are two teams. You can either be with those who organise a charity game for the people currently undergoing genocide, or you can be with those who…
How Talking About Ecocide in Palestine Helps Us Better Describe What Is Being Done — And By Whom Exactly
To describe Israel’s complete annihilation of Gaza better, I invite you to add one more word to your vocabulary: ecocide. Not to by any means diminish the horrors of the intentional massacres committed, but to expand the definition of this total destruction.
Israel Is Bombing Gaza Again (The Coloniser Continues to Colonise)
Israel won’t stop until it’s stopped. It will colonise, occupy, dominate, and murder until it cannot do so. This exactly what its new airstrikes on Gaza show, and it is exactly why our solidarity work remains important.
To What “Peacetime” We Might Be Seeing Palestine Return
It is clear that Trump’s Gaza Peace Plan promises anything but peace if justice, equality, and accountability are not there. Interestingly, it is exactly the hollow “peace” Palestine knew before October 2023. In my episode, I talk about the gruesome events of the past weeks and how they echo what “peacetime” in Palestine was before.…
