"I lose altitude; I fall in love with myself." Divas, I'm so terrible at updating the public on news, but I have an interview out on the blog over @splitlipthemag.bsky.social! It was honestly so lovely and fun to talk about craft choices and what I love about writing and editing. Peep it below! 👄✨

I haven’t been on in awhile but OMG DIVA WAKE UP NEW EPISODE OF @splitlipthemag.bsky.social IS OUT TODAY !!!!!! I so hope you check out my @theoffingmag.bsky.social colleague Lauren’s interview with Jesse Mechanic on his graphic memoir. It’s so thoughtful & I’m so glad to see it with SLM ♥️✨🫦

If you're taking to the streets to protest today, know your rights.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Mohammed. Mohammed was finishing his studies to be a civil engineer in Rafah. His home and the small farm that him and his family had were destroyed. He’s now trying to survive with his large family, including many small children, in tents.

I'm the receiver for Doaa's fundraiser, we chat almost every day. Doaa and her three children have just been displaced to the south. As the situation grows more desperate each day any support you can provide helps, including sharing Doaa's posts! 🙏

free palestine, divas !!!!! 🍉💖

thank you so much @lambdaliterary.org ♥️🌈✨ it’s such a gift to be in community with y’all and to be part of the good work y’all do to support queer artists! there are so few awards that recognize the work of editors, and even fewer for queer editors. if anyone needs me, I’ll be over the moon 🌹✨🪩

Hi friends, I’m so happy to finally share that I won this year’s Denneny Award for Editorial Excellence as part of @lambdaliterary.org’s annual Special Prizes! It’s such a lovely honor and gift, and endless thanks to the people who nominated me and for the judges for selecting me. So grateful ♥️🌈✨

It's 30°C in Gaza today, set to rise to 33°C in a few days, and tents do nothing to protect against the heat. Poor Talia is suffering.

hi friends, I have a good friend who is severely epileptic and has been struggling to find a job. In recent years, they lost a child and their service animal and things have just been impossibly hard. They have to put towards their mortgage by the end of the week. If you can help, please do.

I'll admit, I was skeptical when they said Gemini was just like a bunch of PhDs. But I gotta admit they nailed it.

Clean up your links before you share them with others. It's a small and simple piece of operational security that anyone can integrate into their practice.

Walid had been teaching his daughters to drink salt water to stave off their hunger but of course water is also expensive in Gaza. Please help if you can. chuffed.org/project/1253...

don’t talk to me until I’ve had my picture of the moon 🌕❤️ y’all, who is this scarlet diva ??? I took this last night (and more) and I will forever waiting for her to write a love poem back to me 😭😍 this bashful show-off the moon 😩 the longing, the yearning, the unfulfillment, the solitude DIVA

Mahmoud Khalil has filed a claim for $20 million in damages against the Trump administration, alleging Khalil was falsely imprisoned, maliciously prosecuted and smeared as an antisemite as the government sought to deport him over his prominent role in campus protests. apnews.com/article/mahm...

Please share & give to help 19 yo Hosam's family survive Israel's genocide in Gaza. They're being starved, attacked, & displaced, & donations are very few (816 dollars) & slow:

ghastly. children have died & gone missing in these floods & will likely never be found. Texas has massive populations of Black & brown people who have been routinely gerrymandered, voter suppressed etc & you have the absolute nerve to tell them they deserve what’s happening to them. eat shit.

happy 4th of july to this diva ONLY

ICYMI: still open for volunteer readers for the Micro department @theoffingmag.bsky.social!! plz share with your friends 🙏🏼❤️✨

IDF soldiers have now themselves admitted they have been ordered to murder aid-seekers in Gaza. Truly an atrocity built on atrocity. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...
