➡️ See you at Glasgow University Concert hall on October 5, 2023

some days ago i had the acutely distressing realization that everyone who’s ever cared about me has done so more than i ever cared about myself.

i was inculcated to act and shape myself towards a collective ideal, and taught that 1) that is equivalent to hegemonous western individualism, if not 2) superior to it. from this point of departure, to care about myself as an indivual always felt hyperindividualistic, like denying my roots. i managed to convince myself for years that i Could and Did care about my individual needs. but that was only code-switching, appeasing the hegemony outwardly but playing the good family-oriented girl at home. an itch at the back of my mind that i couldnt name.

to choose to be queer in practice and radically accept myself this past year has been terrifying. that my family sees my individuality as a threat is no surprise; the terrifying part is the paradigm shift in self-orientation that needs to wedge its way into my muscle memory. knowing the difference between what’s good for me and what isn’t, what i want versus what i need, what’s self-preservation and what’s self-harm…i’m having to relearn these distinctions from shaky and downright detrimental foundations.

i do want to keep some of my collectivist leanings, but only the ones born out of love. hyperindividualism is a rampant problem where i live (shout out stockholm) and all of my queer friends here agree that we need to band together more as a community. i long for that healthy balance where i can safely inhabit both myself and a loving collective.

but it’ll take a long time. i have no idea what it looks like to take care of myself, much less love myself, outside of what i’ve accomplished or can produce for something bigger than myself. how could i possibly know? the uphill battle is well worth it though.

that’s my rambling message, especially to fellow SWANA queers: it’s okay for individualism to be hard. it’s okay to want the best parts of collectivism. neither have inherent moral value. our collectivist roots make us beautiful, and we can create something more inclusive with all those who share that vision

Choose Freedom

‘Every girl is born into a cage’: exiled Kurdish women fighting for freedom in Iraq Kurdish women living in Iran face discrimination for their ethnicity as well as their gender.

The photographer Keiwan Fatehi spoke to those who were forced to leave their homeland due to oppression, or fear for their safety and joined the peshmerga military

Image: Roja, 16, from Paveh, Rojhelat (Iranian Kurdistan), left her home on 6 September 2022. She says she left in reaction to the feeling ‘of being a second-class citizen in Iran’.

dw i don’t listen to fascists.

kurdistan is a country and a beautiful one at that. all four parts – bakur, bashur, rojhelat and rojava.

Even at his funeral, intelligence officers didn’t let his family breathe.
