Hi friends.
I forgot it was the week of hourly comic so that will be coming soon but here is somehting I have been thinking about and wanted to share…
Hope you are all well. These are dark times. It is really hard not to lose hope. But we have to persist and resist.
Something I enjoyed recently is watching Mo Amer’s Netflix series MO. I highly recommend it. It’s funny and heartbreaking at the same time. perfect for these days.
Sending you love
Sumayya
I'm so sorry for your loss, Sumayya. Thank you for sharing your reflections on your grief, I think they're really important. I come from a background that also pushes people to move past grief quickly which is so hurtful to the person but also society. I think that's a part of why our society chooses not to see the sorrow of genocide in Palestine, Congo, or Sudan because we've conditioned ourselves to move past it. Very "Yes yes, so sad. Anyway..." We don't even properly grieve what's happening in the states, we can feel our own sorrow so we of course can't empathize with the sorrow of others.
