Sssssooooo... yeah. (Wow!) 😳🤗

reminded of eric williams's observation about britain's relationship to its history with slavery. "British historians wrote almost as if Britain had introduced Negro slavery solely for the satisfaction of abolishing it."

As we near the end of the year, the last thing you might want is a big, chunky fantasy or science fiction book to drag into the new year. Good thing @bookjockeyalex.bsky.social's got 5 underrated novellas to recommend instead!

A very timely ask. I’m extending the submission period for The Apocryphal, the sequel to the award winning Thyme Travellers: An Anthology of Palestinian Speculative Fiction. I’ll have the details soon. But if you’re Palestinian and want to write horror, get in touch with me.

The USDA is the fail safe for SNAP. They have a contingency fund to ensure it’s covered in the event of a shutdown. They’re refusing. Grocery stores stepped up to try and help by offering discounts to any SNAP recipients and the USDA told them they had to stop. Starvation as a policy choice.

This is dope. I want to highly light this part. This is what government is for. Wealth redistribution. Take money from companies who are hoarding it. Use that money to help ease the burden on everyone else. The details matter, but it's not more complicated than that.

This from @nesrinemalik.bsky.social is a clear and horrifying explanation of the atrocities underway in El Fasher. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

When Israel bombs Gaza after pledging itself to a ceasefire, we apparently need to say this is a “Test of ceasefire” to avoid saying what is blatantly obvious, that this is a violation of the ceasefire Again, I’ll keep on repeating this: Israel does not do ceasefires unless forced to.

About 100 Palestinians killed since ceasefire entered into effect on October 10, according to Gaza officials.

I am delighted and honoured to say that my second novel RAKESFALL has won the Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction! vajra.me/2025/10/21/r...

"Coven of the East is a reclamation, an incantation and a dare. It asks you to believe in what has been hidden and to honor the women who carried those truths despite systems that tried to bury them. More than anything, it insists that silence is over." -BookTrib Review booktrib.com/2025/09/29/g...

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Two people in balaclavas torched a mosque in Peacehaven, East Sussex. This is not far from where I live. Fascists are in an open war with Muslims and people of colour in the UK. www.bbc.com/news/article...

All countries that recently recognised the state of Palestine have publicly declared recognising Gaza as part of Palestine. This means that, legally, they must recognise that Israel kidnapped/ is kidnapping their own citizens in international waters while they were / are trying to reach Palestine.

There are multiple protests across Italy, Athens and Brussels and activists have just shut down Berlin’s main train station according to Al Jazeera Supporting Israel will only get more costly for the countries that insist on continuing to back the genocidaires
