Salams! I'm Khalid, the co-organizer of #ArtMubarak. I'm a queer Bangladeshi artist who loves florals and high fashion, and I'm writing a novel HERE TO STAY about leftism, diaspora, and family. My art is for the culture and for our liberationβdon't you ever forget it.

Watching the world lose its mind over the Knicks and the World Cup while Palestine is being destroyed and genocided in real time honestly infuriates me.
And before anyone says βsports bring people together,β I know. That's exactly the point. We clearly know how to care. We clearly know how to show up. We clearly know how to unite when we want to. So why is it easier for millions of people to memorize stats, argue over games, and spend hours watching a match than it is to speak up when human beings are being genocided in plain sight?
This feels like the Hunger Games, wallah. The privileged get to sit comfortably, drink a coke, eat a hotdog, cheer, celebrate, and move on, while other people in Palestine, Sudan, Lebanon, Yemen, Congo, Iran and more are searching for food, living in tents that flood, and fighting for their peoples liberation.

shutting down the streets around Penn Station as thousands of World Cup fans arrive back from NJ Transit has turned out exactly as chaotic as you might have expected

is there any reason at all for this level of response? cops need to ruin everything
NOW: "MOVE back!" SRG police in riot gear and horses continue clearing Knicks fans near MSG making arrests along the way (full video incoming)

Six years since her passing, we remember Sarah Hegazi, an intersectional queer feminist who was forced to flee her home and ultimately took her life following relentless targeting by the Egyptian authorities.
Today, our thoughts are with her loved ones and community.
