urgent campaign!!!!!

Sameer Project's current goal for their mass displacement campaign is $750,000. This $2K campaign means we can collectively make a $4K dent. Support the sickest coming from hospital overflow, medical staff, aid distribution team members, and Civil Defense who risk their lives to rescue civilians.

What does it mean to write in the role of griot or cultural worker--one who owes something to the community they come from and who writes out of that community? Chantal James (@chantalalive.blacksky.app) leads us thru this ques in "Storytelling Out of Your People and For Your People." tomorrow!

join session 1 of Poetry for the People tonight. recordings will be made available for folx who can't make all of the sessions! www.workshops4gaza.com/calendar/poe...

My story, “The Seventh Expression of the Robot General,” appears in the recent issue of SF World in China.

Gonna just paste in a bunch of tweets from right wing media and influencers who were stating that Charlie Kirk's assassin was proven to be a transgender person. This was a lie, and beyond irresponsible. It's obviously targeting trans people to stir up hate and violence against them. 1. Andy Ngo

the leftish podcastersphere triangulation on this has been disgusting to watch: there was almost no evidence for an entire day, and the right wing pushed a trans shooter narrative. Our beloved podcasters then triangulated based off far those right talking points. Truly pathetic. Sad!

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Hala. Hala is only 16 years old and is a very popular singer in Gaza (you should check her out www.instagram.com/hala_e_omar?...). Her and her family are being forced to flee Gaza City and live in tents in the South. They need help ❤️

I just learned that Charlie kirk was also a podcaster. Its caused me to have a rd 2 Damascus moment; regarding my colleague's brutal murder by a yet unidentified extremist shooter. We podcasters must come together to oppose the political violence we condone every episode

Ed mcbain mentioned btw

W4G is hosting our own workshop! 🩶 If you're in NYC, come thru the Anarchist Book Fair on Sept. 13, 5pm for "Breaking out of the Carcereal Continuum." We'll discuss how we can forge stronger ties btw the Palestine solidarity and prison abolition movements in North Amerika.

Sept. 14th! Join Kyo Maclear and Vinh Nguyen to contemplate the limits of the memoir genre and explore strategies for working through, around, and against its conventions. www.workshops4gaza.com/calendar/mem...

The funniest thing the martin beck novels do imo is when the authors describe the police going thru some exhaustive set of procedures and then end that paragraph with 'and nothing happened'

Great Joanna russ line "The lake rippled in the sunset. He had been loved, and he still lived. It was a miracle. He forgot about it."

❤️‍🔥 from X @The_Aftershock_ "BREAKING: Prisoners for Palestine target the London head office of Sodexo, who run HMP Peterborough where T Hoxha is currently on her 26th day of hunger strike. Hoxha has been on remand for over nine months, accused of damaging Israel's biggest weapons manufacturer."

Was looking for wahloo's solo efforts in LA's used bookstores today: no luck. Pain

Good book 🫡

Today is Day 24 of T. Hoxha's hunger strike. The prison has still not met her demand to reinstate her library job. Casey Goonan has not eaten for 8 days and refuses to eat until her demands are met. We are running out of time for our comrades: tinyurl.com/FreeTHoxha

From Sameer Project, Sept. 1: "Palestinians in Gaza are getting kidney diseases due to lack of water. Dehydration cases in hospitals are a daily occurrence. Support: chuffed.org/project/help...

125 campaigns have had no donations in 5 days. Let’s get that number to 0!!

from @berkeleyeecs4palestine IG UC Berkeley CS Lecturer Launches Hunger Strike for Gaza "Today marks 691 days of Israel’s genocide and starvation of Palestinians in Gaza. This week, Israel bombed Nasser hospital, and then bombed the same spot again as journalists and rescuers rushed to the scene.

It's time to stop art-washing & pink-washing g*n*c*d* in Western New York. Orgs like Buffalo Pride and AKG need to cut ties with local genocide profiteer yesterday. Think I'm just blowing smoke? Here's the full report. drive.proton.me/urls/1HNGJ5R...

more than any US writer has done

what you can do

very very shameful that Hossam Shabat's family fundraiser only has 157 supporters. if you cried about the zionist entity's targeted killing of him, posted about it, or continue to mourn, donate here to support Amal Shabat, his grieving mother, who is also a widow. chuffed.org/project/1416...

If you can help Hani ❤️

Ramadan wanted me to share this chuffed.org/project/1230...

Incredible video 👇

Consider this list deep-prep for the upcoming new Pynchon novel in October 2025–which, considering the trajectory of the last several novels, should be pretty good! youtu.be/8fSoUKd5CeA

not sure if folx understand how important COMD and Project Yano are in fighting the US military's predatory recruitment tactics, and their concrete wins like restricting JROTC recruitment in schools. Providing alternatives to soldiering is key in the fight against US empire. join us tomorrow!
