short note: dancing in the shadow of doomsday (?)

March 3, 2022March 3, 2022 ~ Neiha Lasharie ~ Leave a comment

I feel like I only ever come here to talk when things are a little, mm, iffy on the scale of humanity. That makes me feel quite guilty, also, as though I'm contributing to the myth of my own hysteria and encouraging the same in others. But I've forgotten to be normal, if I ever … Continue reading short note: dancing in the shadow of doomsday (?)

Checkpoints

June 29, 2021 ~ Neiha Lasharie ~ Leave a comment

So, it happened. Yes, we have several consoles. I graduated in the height of luxury, in my living room, in my husband's graduation robes from our undergraduate institution, in a free baseball hat that at least had my grad school's name on it. It was a wonderful day, surrounded by at least some family (my … Continue reading Checkpoints

Short update: March 26, 2021

March 26, 2021March 26, 2021 ~ Neiha Lasharie ~ Leave a comment

When I started writing the notes for my "LATLAC" series, I think I was operating under a heavy dose of unearned optimism. In my defense, back in January, I was staring down a very palatable-seeming semester. Sure, I had two jobs, a full course-load and a couple of extracurriculars, but relative to past semesters at … Continue reading Short update: March 26, 2021

This is the first installment of the Law of ATLA Conflict series, where I attempt to apply international humanitarian law to Avatar: the Last Airbender. See the series here. If you're new to IHL, scroll down to see a list of concepts discussed in this post and brief explanations thereof.

“Law of ATLA Conflict”: Introduction

January 9, 2021January 12, 2021 ~ Neiha Lasharie ~ 3 Comments

It's a new year, and I'm between semesters, which means I need a preoccupation (in addition to two part-time jobs and several video games). Of the usual millennial lock-down hobbies, I had chosen TikTok, and one of the TikToks I came across - genuinely, a testament to the algorithm - was a list of war … Continue reading “Law of ATLA Conflict”: Introduction

[Please donate to the Milwaukee Freedom Fund if you are able] This is an update more than it is an actual, cohesive blog post. As far as summers go, this has been one for the books. I don't need to reinvent the wheel: we have seen the culmination of so much, this year, and the … Continue reading Short note: Tired(s)

Iqra: The Command to Read

June 8, 2020 ~ Neiha Lasharie ~ 1 Comment

While procrastinating, I decided to Google myself (which is a valid thing to do, don't be rude). I found that an essay I wrote as part of a scholarship application two years ago had been posted by the scholarship organization. As it turns out, they had told us they would post our essays, but I … Continue reading Iqra: The Command to Read

On the fallacy of apolitical policy

June 3, 2020 ~ Neiha Lasharie ~ Leave a comment

Before you read this post, please consider donating to and otherwise furthering the hard work of Black organizers across the United States, as well as demanding justice and accountability for the Black people killed by law enforcement and white supremacy. Let's talk about policy. Let's get political. Recently, some colleagues and I created and began … Continue reading On the fallacy of apolitical policy

On resilience, again

May 22, 2020 ~ Neiha Lasharie ~ Leave a comment

(This might be a hard read, since it is a direct response to the horrible, tragic passenger plane crash that happened in Karachi on May 22nd, 2020, and is informed by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. It is sloppy, and messy, and emotional, and angry in ways that are perhaps unwarranted, but I can at least … Continue reading On resilience, again
