Thank you @HeartlinesSpec for giving my piece a place!
If you want to read my first ever media essay (with juicy opinions on the shortfalls of Muslim feminist media) then you’ll find it in Issue 6 of Heartlines Spec ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Friends! Gather round and let us tell you about Issue 6! It's got dimensions, witchery, spiders, spaceships and resistance. Basically everything you need.

Wow, this story is so short yet it hit me right in the feels. I love how it starts so lighthearted yet underneath there is something deeper and darker but hopeful at the same time. Great stuff!

Still thinking about this post. Like I didn't write a story about a JANITOR perpetually stuck at work in liminal space, never seeing his family, watching the jet set hurry elsewhere, and only a sliver of love keeps him tethered to time...for a reason*
