Kefaya Khraim is a passionate advocate for human rights, particularly women’s rights, and is currently exploring Israeli crimes that discriminate against women and girls, with a focus on detainees inside Israeli prisons and the sexual violence they experie...

Dr Mohamed from Rebuild Gaza 24 talks about how dire the humanitarian crisis is in Gaza and says it's not a crisis of humanity - it's a crisis of the lack of humanity.

I interviewed Apollyon, the creator of submit.gg - a social site for kink and BDSM, which focuses on knowledge, safety, and creating a space where diversity can flourish.

Satori Shakoor, creator of   The Secret Society of Twisted Storytellers , is all about healing through authentic stories.

Caeleinn Hogan talks about the book, Republic of Shame, and the mother and baby homes in Ireland - and the culture that produced the State's methods of "disappearing" unwanted people.

White supremacy is not merely sustained by white individuals but is deeply embedded in social, economic, and political systems that strategically co-opt POC. By analysing historical and contemporary examples, we see how whiteness employs people of colour to maintain its power. Understanding these mechanisms allows us to challenge them, fostering true racial justice and equity. Only through collect...

The Warhammer franchise, spanning tabletop games, novels, and video games, has cultivated a massive and passionate global fanbase. With its deep lore, expansive universes, and strategic gameplay, Warhammer has captivated millions. However, as with many gaming and geek culture spaces, Warhammer's communities are not immune to issues of misogyny and racism. These problems manifest in various way...

One of the primary ways to address period poverty is by ensuring that menstrual products are affordable and accessible to everyone. Some countries, such as Scotland and Aotearoa, have made strides in providing free sanitary products in schools and public spaces. Making menstrual products exempt from sales taxes is another critical step, as is reducing the price of sanitary products for low-income...

The Palestinian keffiyeh has become a universal symbol of resistance and solidarity. It started as a piece of clothing worn by farmers, but history turned it into something much bigger. It represents defiance against oppression, a call for freedom, and a connection between struggles across different communities. 

Cleanliness, as both a physical and moral concept, has long been entwined with racialised discourses that reinforce systems of power and hierarchy. From colonial frameworks to modern social practices, the politics of cleanliness intersect with notions of race, class, and identity, perpetuating inequalities in subtle and overt ways. The historical roots, socio-political implications, and contempora...

Elianne, known as Twitchy Witch on social media, has recently completed her PhD in Palestinian identity through hip-hop culture, and we talk about Palestine, identity, resistance, and alchemy.

It's not that he's autistic. He's just racist.

They say “not all men” as it will absolve men of being the number one perpetrator of violence over every other population in the world - other men, women, nonbinary and trans folk, and children. So not all men, you say? Well, it’s 70,000 of them. There are group chats of over 70,000 men giving each other tips on how to rape women - including their partners. And nothing is being done about it.

Leila Hegazy has been a musician and organiser for Palestine and now she's got an album of originals and covers  out to raise funds for the Palestine Children's Relief Fund - and it all started with Palestine-related spoofs of popular songs on TikTok.

Have you ever wondered why school and university subjects that are seen as universal are taught in colonial languages? Mathematics, sciences, economics and the like are seen as historically and theoretically neutral (which they’re not) and English. French, Spanish, and Portuguese, among other European languages, are seen as neutral languages, which they are not either.

Fatphobia is a pervasive and harmful form of discrimination that affects people's physical, emotional, and psychological well-being. It is crucial to recognise that body diversity is natural, and a person's worth is not determined by their size.

Violet is a professional dominatrix who runs workshops on dirty talk and how to sub, and talks with me on issues of race, sex, consent, and boundaries, among other delightful things. You can find her work at  Studio Lux  in Berlin.

While there are celebrities who do the work silently and in a real capacity rather than for show, and some use their platforms to raise funds, it’s all too little when you look at the amount of influence and money these people actually have.

Having control over the resources in the region would enable capitalist exploitation and bargaining power on the world economic stage. 

The idea that individuals can solve poverty is a myth. It lies in the hands of the powerful who have the ability to stop hoarding wealth, exploiting people and resources, and fueling discord among the most vulnerable people. 

Ultimately, It comes down to the unwillingness of the West to let go of its capitalist and imperialist hold on the Global South. 

I interview Dr Jill Ellen Stein, an American physician, activist, and politician. She is currently running for president in the 2024 United States presidential election and is the only candidate who is advocating for an end to the Israeli apartheid occupation of Palestine.

Welcome to Season 7! I can't believe we are here already. We kick off the season chatting with Palestinian Haya Tamimi, who is heading up a petition to invoke Article 6 of the UN Charter that removes any party that does not work in the organisation in the spirit of freedom and self-determination - in this case, the US.

I interview Sam Masri and an activist known as Rebel about Syria's history of occupation and its brutal war against the Syrian people led by the Al-Assad family.

There are queer Palestinians. The Israeli army boasting that the first time the Pride flag being flown in Gaza was by them in 2023’s invasion is ignorant at best and a dangerous narrative at worst, assuming that queer people inside Palestine are only at risk from their own.
