A Palestinian/Dutch actress raised in the UK leaves her life in London and ends up taking part in a staging of Hamlet in the West Bank. I won’t say more of the plot, only that this was a book I stole away to read every second I could and that when I finished it I was vibrating and needed to stare at the wall for a minute. These characters became so real to me 😭

hangman by maya binyam is an estrangement story and through her use of audience displacement, binyam puts us exactly parallel to the protagonist. it could have been a mirror!
a quiet and blurry greek tragedy of sorts..

ideally i would love to gain the trust and respect of a corvid 🐦⬛ they love to give and receive tiny gifts and i relate to that.
goose and swan are also great options though a bit riskier since these guys can get mad as hell and those long necks are powerful
i would also love to volunteer at a raptor sanctuary and help take care of falcons, owls, etc.
i feel pretty sad and disturbed by most caged birds and having a parrot, for example is a massive emotional responsibility, their lifespans also mean it’s a lifelong commitment, i probably wouldn’t go this route but respect those who do it right 🫡

one of my favorite artists. the sculpture in the photo is in clay but his work includes lots of deer motifs, wood, terracotta, moments from indigenous mythology...
