There are the things you say when you actually want to shout them.
This is how my political commentary has felt for the past years. Because it is about the world that neither you nor I can escape.
Have you noticed how this world has been?
If yes (and if you’re following my work here, I bet it is a YES), you, too, might be feeling a heaviness that doesn’t go away. The simple answer to why it is like this is this: because it cannot.
My video is on the heaviness of existing in the world where crimes are being committed against my and your humanity continuously. And if you’re following what’s happening in Palestine, this is what you might feel every day.
I invite you to acknowledge it, hold it with compassion, and continue taking action so that we don’t have to live in this kind of world.
It’s a crossover between Investigative Selfism and my more political project, The Exploding Head. Find it here.

When There’s an Opening of The Heart, But The Ones in Power Are Preaching Destruction
There is a saying that the cracks in the heart is where the light comes through. I also think it’s from where that light also shines. In my essay, I invite you to protect your hearts in this time of mass destruction; to engage in antiwar activities; to save your own humanity.

If You Reject Gaslighting in Your Personal Life, Reject It When It Comes as War Propaganda, Too
We can call it war propaganda (as we should), but we can also use another rather popular concept: gaslighting. This is what is being done to us on a global scale, as the U.S.-Israel war on Iran is being waged. That’s why, if you’re feeling that you might be losing your mind when you watch the mainstream media, indeed, that is the point.
