I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Abdullah. Abdullah was a tailor. He is very worried about his brother Ismail who is at risk of losing his leg after it was run over at an aid distribution site. He’s also taking care of Ismail’s children Tayseer, 15, Sahar, 12 and Hoor, 8.

Waseem really wants to start rebuilding his home in N Gaza, and making sure the children have some shelter for winter.

It’s not quite The Piano Teacher, but it is approaching that sort of territory for sure

I cannot stress how much both main characters in this suck!! If you like reading about people who suck having dubcon clandestine sex, it’s the book for you!

As you celebrate Mamdani’s victory, I want to take in that it was not a victory for the Democratic Party. He won in spite of the party.

The protagonist of this novel pissed me off in the best way. I love that he elicited such frustration. If you like getting furious at fictional characters and narratives laced with queer experience, this book is calling to you 🌀🌀🌀🌀

This is accurate! SNAP is obviously important because it feeds people, but there is data showing it also reduces healthcare spending and has economic benefits too. As I always say, our country would gain a lot by spending even more on SNAP to give people true freedom in their food choices.

IT HELPS WITH THE BLUES, by @bryanonion.bsky.social is a quiet, contemplative read, perfect for fall. (And the audiobook version is coming out very soon! 👀) "infused with midwestern atmosphere, but relatable to anyone who's been any sort of teenager in any place." traumbooks.com/ithelpswitht...

CORRUPTED VESSELS by @flameswallower.bsky.social , about a tiny cult of trans kids that goes horribly wrong, is well worth a read if you haven't gotten to it yet. Beautiful decay prose at its finest~~ traumbooks.com/corrupted-ve...

If I was going to limit myself to two books from @dancingstarpress.com, I decided to go with the first & most recent. A Feast for Flies by Leigh Harlen Sapphic mind reading on generation ships in space! Resisting corruption in both police & crime rings. Best support doggo (who does not die.)

A Ruin of Shadows by L.D. Lewis What do you do when you are the most badass general in the empire and you have just realized your emporer is evil? With atmospheric world building, war rhinos, & a wise-cracking djinn.
