Generally I tag posts to keep them organised and have a chance at finding them again. Sometimes I tag them because it's funny. And sometimes I don't tag them because it's by far funnier without context.

In today’s new Longreads essay, Montserrat Andrée Carty writes about family and identity, growing up around different languages and cultures, and eventually embracing (and loving) her name over time.

We seek to become the truest version of ourselves, but what if there isn’t one true version, but multiple? Like father, like daughter, there are two versions of me.

At 5, I spoke all these languages fluently. Today, I only speak two of them, but understand all of them in some way, as they still live inside me.

Read her beautiful personal essay on Longreads.

Shuaib Abu Snina was kidnapped and sentenced to life imprisonment for 99 years by Israeli occupation forces on Oct. 25, 1998. After spending 13 years in prison, Shuiab was among the prisoners to be released in Wafa al-Ahrar. But he was also among the prisoners exiled to Gaza. Shuaib was devastated that the faces of his children, Sumira, Mimona, Khaled, and Qtayiba, and his wife, Manal, would not be the first things he would see after being freed. Manal managed to meet her husband after trying several times. She visited Gaza three times, returning to Jerusalem to take care of her children in between each visit. Every time she visited Gaza, she faced harassment and inspections by the Israeli occupation forces.  Shuaib reported that Manal gave birth to a child named Mou'taz in 2012. Israeli occupation refused to issue his birth certificate for 10 months. The occupation also prevented the family from traveling back to Gaza. "Israeli forces detained Manal and raided our house and stole the money that I sent for my children," he said.  "After several arrests and home raids in the Silwan neighborhood of Jerusalem, the Israeli occupation told Khalid, my eldest son, that they 'will not deal with your [family] as citizens with rights in Jerusalem unless your father divorces your mother,'" Shuaib explained. With a lump in his throat and a voice full of sadness, Shuaib said: " I was forced to go to court in Gaza and divorce my wife in a sham divorce, but the occupation returned the divorce document. I was compelled to formally divorce my wife." He divorced his wife because he loves her, and he wants his family to live as citizens with rights. "After more than 30 years of patience, is this the reward for her kindness?" he lamented.
