@wizard_bisan1 and AJ+ have been nominated for a Peabody Award for her coverage of Gaza.
For over 6 months, Bisan Owda has shown the world how life in Gaza has been through her eyes. She has told the story of Palestinian survival in the face of the Israeli genocide.
Before Oct. 7, Bisan was making films about cultural life in her native Gaza for her own YouTube channel.
In 2023, AJ+’s @denatakruri won a Peabody Award for her story “One Day in Hebron,” which gave a firsthand account of the Israeli occupation in Hebron, in the occupied West Bank.

Colonizers write about flowers.
I tell you about children throwing rocks at Israeli tanks
seconds before becoming daisies.
I want to be like those poets who care about the moon.
Palestinians don’t see the moon from jail cells and prisons.
It’s so beautiful, the moon.
They’re so beautiful, the flowers.

positing hamas as some kind of evil boogeyman when hundreds (at least 300) of dead civilians are found in a mass grave around nasser hospital after the idf ran through khan younis……………🥴🥴🥴🥴
when i find books that i want to read online for free in archives and such its like i've just discovered gold, and you might think that if you passed me giggling manically at the finding, or you might be concerned, but hey, we all have our interests
friends. mutuals. something inexplicably in between. something more than both, something less that either and more impactful than you might think. you do not know how much you are loved. you are in everything i make. i have made posts about you. do you see? do you see how much my life has changed with you in it? do you see how lovely and bright you make the world? do you know that i would not know what to do without you? i am better with you. i hope we can spend days together. i hope we can share a kitchen. i hope we can make soup together.

Me and the girls, we’re worried you might be the last good thing to happen to her and that were some tragedy to inevitably befall you, she would tear the gods from their thrones and dye the infinite western seas wine-dark with their ichor. Do you think you could introduce her to a new hobby or something? we don’t want to have to argue over what color “wine-dark” is supposed to be
