Nurses, sex workers, antifascist militants, and survivors of all stripes recall the collapse of life as they knew it and the emergence of a collective alternative. Their stories, delivered in deeply human fashion, together outline how ordinary people's efforts to survive in the face of crisis contain the seeds of a new world.

Hi there, my name is Fareeha (she/her) I'm a queer Pakistani Muslim content creator, writer, artist and indie bookseller. I have been reading and discussing fantasy, scifi, and comics that center around the Muslim experience, queer existence, and underrepresented communities in publishing for over 3 years on TikTok.


To me, culturally specific fantasy and the burgeoning work of Muslim Futurism created by and for marginalized communities is liberation work. My Bindery will be dedicated to reading and discussing these stories that are often out of the spotlight. I hope you'll join my growing community and along the way find some more authors and cartoonists that make you feel seen.
