"Deny, Defend, Depose" Seen at the Brooklyn Navy Yard

used submittable for the first time and it was, in fact, not as intimidating as I was making it in my head.

"Even if you've never done BDS before: Boycotting between now and January 1st will hit corporations the hardest. They make most of their money for the year in these last 5 weeks. So, how little can you spend on the death machine? 🙏🏼❤💚🤍🖤" #BDSMaxxing #BDS

Around this time every year, I share a list of ways to support Native people. From supporting Indigenous people seeking abortion care to defending Native voting rights and keeping Native families together, here are some causes worth supporting. 🧵

Big Tech is training AI on thousands of TV/film scripts. I spoke to showrunners, IP and business affairs lawyers — as well as the programmer at The Atlantic who examined this data set — to find out what happens next The latest Series Business @theankler.bsky.social theankler.com/p/tv-writers...

Optimist: The cup is half full Pessimist: The cup is half empty Daughters : I don’t know how many evenings had my mother scrubbed her heart at the bottom of the cup. I see scratches casting back my face. I think, they are screaming, asking me to run away.

Akram is supporting his mother and five younger siblings, and they're almost three-quarters of the way to their goal. I know we're all spread thin, but many small donations will work wonders where big donations are rarely even possible—please join me in donating to this one now! gofund.me/42bf8c6f

If you want Bluesky to be a viable platform as the internet's new town square, it must be capable of building support for Palestinians during the genocide or it will only ever be a walled garden of denial. Please help Muhammad and Lubna with donations and/or boosts. www.gofundme.com/f/help-muham...

Different platform, same censorship. There is no safe space for Palestinians, neither offline or online.

please send something if you can 🙏🏽

“Israel cannot do any of this … without the US and western European countries. The US gives Israel the green light. It is a party to the war on Palestine. … I am not just at this because I am a Palestinian. It is because I am an American. Because we are responsible.” — Rashid Khalidi

Also on this, I love my messy processes. I love rearranging the bones of my story weaving muscle, pruning tendons. I love doing it again and again until it clicks, I love revisions where the story comes alive!

To Exist In A Language

Very grateful to you who still haven’t let the human flame go out in your heart, no matter how much it burns you, who still keep a light on hopeful for the world’s homecoming.

Writers: repost a random story that you're proud of. I'm very proud of "Trees Can Have My Soul; in Return, Let Me Have My Grief" because it asks so many questions at once, so simply. What exactly is a mothertongue without a motherland and a mother? www.khoreomag.com/fiction/tree...

We Are Burning. The last piece from artist and cartoonist Mahasen al-Khatib, killed in Israel’s intensified extermination campaign in northern Gaza. This genocide must stop.

my toddler had “homework” which meant picking different leaves and showing the changes of fall which meant *I* got to pick leaves, *I* got to contemplate the colors of fall (they are so beautiful, we are all destined to perish)

I hate this idea that eventually the industry is going to capitulate to AI. Nope. Let's fight. Let's revile it. Let's start an art war and take no prisoners. Fuck AI. Let's throw it into the sun.

The more corpses pile up, the greater the moral burden awaiting anyone who would reconsider their support for the genocide. Like we’ve seen with Covid & climate change: the bigger a disaster gets, the greater the intensity and desperateness of the denial. Expect this to continue.

Bluesky has its flaws, but the sheer commitment to running fascists off the app is glorious and unmatched.
