S is for Snails and Solidarity On Parenting, Palestine, and Raising Kids Who Take a Stance My 8-year-old Saana and I were on a long bike ride one luminous autumn day. While I was looking to the sky for sightings of birds of prey, Saana kept their gaze on the road. Every few minutes, they braked to help caterpillars and snails cross the road safely, tiny lives spared from the crushing weight of tires. Flattened frogs dotted the asphalt, each one a small tragedy that made them wince.

Reaching for Each Other Why Art Around SWANA Caregivers Is So Important Right Now Across the global art world, explorations of motherhood, care, domestic labor, feminist practice, and SWANA (Southwest Asia and North Africa) futurism are increasingly coming into view.

I was recently asked by a friend to share a list of speculative fiction films or books that were written by Armenians or told Armenian stories. I wrote back with a bunch of laughing emojis and said, “Yeah! Our work! Please let me know if you find anything else lol.” Seriously though, let me know. When I think of what my family and ancestors have endured, I sometimes fear those stories aren’t being told for lack of an ability to imagine ourselves into the future.
