After 2.5 years on Lesvos I’m in Berlin. I make music, write things and also @childhouses. Views very much my own.

Incredibly proud to announce my book is coming out (in Dutch first!) on @uitg_thomasrap May 7. Stories from the edge of Europe, the people I met in my 3yrs on Lesvos and the journey back from the shadows.

Watching Biden take credit for this ceasefire is turning my stomach. This legacy building comes at the price of tens of thousands of already dead Gazans. He is nothing short of a criminal guilty of mass crimes against humanity.

Sending so much solidarity and strength to my beloved LA and the many many friends who have lost everything. This is just devastating to watch from afar.

To everyone who voted
For Trump: was annexing Greenland, turning Canada into a state, taking over the Panama Canal and renaming the Gulf of Mexico part of your plan? Hope you enjoy your cheap gas and eggs while we spiral even more into the abyss. What a disaster.

Berlin is an utter disaster on NYE if you have a baby or a pet. Currently camping out on the floor in the back of the house with a white noise machine on max and we are still dealing with a terrified kid. I fuckin hate the fireworks.

This morning I am thinking about little Alan Kurdi and the many children who died while trying to find safety from the Assad regime. May their memory be honored forever.

My heart is with my dear Syrian friends tonight as we watch the end of the Assad regime. I have met thousands of them as they fled the horrors of Assad. Justice for the fallen, hope for the disappeared and may their efforts to create a free Syria be realized.

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.
