كل التضامن مع عمر راضي٬ الصحفي الذكي٬ اللماح٬ صاحب مبادئ مش سهل التمسك بيها في سياقات ذي اللي بنشتغل فيها. عمر مسجون بسبب تغريدة عبر فيها عن انتقاده لأحكام ضد ناشطي حراك الريف في المغرب. #FreeOmar

It's Egypt and it's fall and it's 2020, hence recommendation letters' writing season; a writing exercise that brings more fear of being isolated here, but also a beautiful way to say thank you and to send off our companions in this tough ride to their redemption.

انتخابات مهنية لها طعم خاص في عالم الانتخابات والتمثيل والفوز. يعني مافيش تمثيل مقنع في انتخابات عامة (نيابية ورئاسية مثلا) ودائما في حالة اضطرار في الاختيار. ولكن في وضوح اكتر في مين ممكن يمثلنا مهنيا ومافيش احسن من @khaledelbalshy لتمثيلنا اليوم. مبروك لنا وللجميع جرعة الامل.

This is the moment of hyperrealism. The image no longer records reality, it simulates it. Sisi still lives in the older era, when photos were a record, used to present an honorable portrayal of himself, the state-a glossy portrait. Ali is virtual reality.
