No matter how much crap life throws at you, you still have your writing, and that's a lot.
🆘URGENT: The Taliban have detained 22-year-old taekwondo coach Khadija Ahmadzada for defying their ban on women's sports by secretly training girls. She is in Herat prison; her life and safety are at risk. Women's rights activists, human rights groups, and the UN must act now. We must launch global campaigns to demand her unconditional release. Apply diplomatic pressure and leverage on the Taliban to end this persecution Share her name. Raise your voice. Save her life. #freekhadijaahmadzada @UN @SR_Afghanistan @amnestyusa @amnestyusa @heatherbarr1
Today our 3rd PROCESS piece is by Canadian writer/artist kerry rawlinson @kerryrawli. A self-reflexive piece on the art/process of erasure. An essay/ workshop. LITTLE FISH UNCANNED: 'the seeker' & creative notes (for an erasure project) - kerry rawlinson icefloepress.net/2026/01/09/lit…
We did something amazing with the support of @usawamag in 2025, and @CoffeeConMag has been publishing Afghan women’s work for the past few years. Many times it’s not easy, because so many Afghan writers and creatives don’t know about regular submission calls and very often are without internet. But it’s very, very possible to do - to share the work of Afghan women writers, poets, authors and artists. Those living in the country literally risk their lives doing what the rest of us take for granted. Please make space for their work. I’m sure we can come up with creative ideas and solutions. Writer Friends, please share 😊
