FENIAN is the incredible new album by Kneecap, the Irish language hip hop group that I flew to Europe last year to see perform live because they were banned in the U.S!  This is a fierce, politically charged record blending Irish-language rap, rave energy, punk attitude, and sharp anti-colonial commentary.  Critics have praised Fenian for its raw intensity, ambitious production, and unapologetic political edge, particularly around Irish identity and Palestinian solidarity. The album debuted at #1 on the Irish Albums Chart and hit #2 on the UK Albums Chart. Listen on Spotify.

HOMOSEXUAL INTIFADA: A QUEER PALESTINIAN ANTHOLOGY spotlights the voices of queer Palestinian writers from both the diaspora and the homeland. This first-of-its-kind collection features a dynamic range of LGBTQ+ Palestinian perspectives through deeply personal essays, short stories, poetry, comics, photo essays, and memoir. Centering queer Palestinian identity and experience, this essential volume explores themes of displacement, assimilation, belonging, and love across geographies—from Jerusalem and Ramallah to New York, Beirut, and beyond. These stories, often silenced or misrepresented in Western media, challenge false narratives, boldly reclaim agency, and dismantle stereotypes. Pre-Order the Anthology Here.
