Mention of Harvey Milk here is his bio: http://milkfoundation.org/about/harvey-milk-biography/

(he also was specifically referring to like independent adults who were safe enough to come out, not vulnerable people and it is also not relevant to the SWANA region)

 

Reference to “suck my ass” a vine (shout out to Joseph for introducing me): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEY9rZjzVPk

 

Reference to bottoms up/ devil laughs (I think I mentioned it if not whatever here yall go)(shout out to Joseph again): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjB3dO6hVwc

 

The mention of Allah in the podcast (Allah translates to the god) is referring to the Islamic god (other faiths also use the term Allah to refer to their lord/ there is also a pre islamic deity which is a moon god by the same name) anyways here is a link to the 99 names: https://99namesofallah.name/

 

*an alternative to using middle east; swana (south west Asian and north African) shout out to Edan and Pouneh for pointing out to me the issues revolved around the terminology and ways to refer to Africa)

 

A final note fuck cops: All police. Not only are pigs haram, but on a more serious note their may be good people but never good cops because of their job structure and having to enforce all laws including unjust ones, the harm and violence that police initiate is inexcusable.

We are so excited for this episode!  We guarantee you’ll love getting to know Andrea through this.  We’ll give you all a heads up when their book is available (set to come out Jan. 2019)!

Andrea Abi-Karam is an arab-american genderqueer punk poet-performer cyborg,
writing on the art of killing bros, the intricacies of cyborg bodies, trauma & delayed
healing. Their chapbook, THE AFTERMATH (Commune Editions, 2016), attempts to
queer Fanon’s vision of how poetry fails to inspire revolution. Simone White selected
Andrea’s second assemblage Villainy for forthcoming publication with Les Figues. They
toured with Sister Spit March 2018 & are hype to live in New York.
EXTRATRANSMISSION (Kelsey Street Press, Jan. 2019) is their first book.
