To do political work, some navigation is needed.
But not just through everything that’s happening — through the criticisms and attempts by others to push you into self-censorship, too.
My episode is on that kind of navigation.
In fact, it’s the last episode of this third season of The Exploding Head.
And I think it only fits for me to close it with these comments: on how to deal with criticism, what to remember when it’s tough, and what you don’t need to pledge your allegiance to.
Before I go on a break from podcasting in August, I want to once again encourage you not to silence yourself and not to give the right to decide whether you can point to injustices around the world to anyone else.
You can read more about the human rights violations in Lithuania that I mention in the episode here, find my article on the EU border policy here, and a compilation of my work on Palestine is always accessible in this section of my website.
You can find my workshop on starting your own creative project here.
You can continue checking my work out on my Instagram account throughout August, too.
Thank you again for being here – I really really appreciate it ❤️
I’ll see you in September!

International Law is No More, Fascism is Here: How Will You Choose to Operate in This Reality?
Fascism has never been a thing of the past; now, to disregard it means to disengage from reality. As international law has crumbled, Israel is still destroying Gaza, and masked agents are snatching people of the streets in the U.S., I invite you to ask yourself how you choose to show up in this reality.

A Visual Summary of What Our Governments Have Allowed Israel to Do to International Law
When the UN premises are raided and the UN flag is replaced by the Israeli flag, it’s not even international news. It’s not a scandal. Because of the impunity our governments continue to generously gift to Israel (which in turn has rendered international law itself completely battered).
