If you want to get your sea legs on mutual aid, one thing you can do is throw a 24 pack of water and some individually packaged nonperishable snacks in your trunk and just keep your eyes open. Pulling over and offering water to a person in distress can be a much bigger help than you realize.

Hi! I have a newsletter. It's free and comes out once a week, not always on the same day. I write pop culture criticism, queer rants, memoir, and interviews with interesting people. It's not the same thing each week, but it's usually something pretty compelling. buttondown.com/charliejane/...

Thyme Travellers: An Anthology of Palestinian Speculative Fiction is not getting on reading lists for community awards and so I feel it’s my duty to never shut up about it. fernwoodpublishing.ca/book/thyme-t...

Sorry- Watch Duty app.

When I started writing King of Empty Spaces in 2011, I knew in my gut that Assad and those like him, would continue to slaughter anyone and everyone they could, even if it meant they'd be the only ones left. It is incredible, seeing the news of the end of his and his family's bloody regime.
