Two gay Palestinian men with too many opinions and not enough patience for explaining ourselves. While our people endure genocide and struggle for liberation, we’re here to shed light on the everyday lives of queer Palestinians in the diaspora—our joys, contradictions, petty debates, and deep feelings. This isn’t a defense, it’s a conversation. Join Khalil and Ali as we navigate it all with humor, honesty, and absolutely no filter.

Twilight, Vampire Politics, and the Art of Being Useless- Episode 2
Twilight was never just about vampires—it was about colonialism, queer-coded villains, and Bella Swan's commitment to doing absolutely nothing. In this episode, Khalil and Ali unpack the cultural phenomenon that had millennials in a chokehold, debate whether Stephanie Meyer accidentally wrote a polycule, and ask the real questions: Are the Volturi just messy gays? Should Edward and Jacob have just kissed? And why is Bella the least curious person to ever meet a vampire?
