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...

For many folks, money is tight and about to get tighter with the manufactured SNAP benefits crisis. As such, between now and the end of the month, I'm donating all Cursed Morsels store proceeds to @supplydepotmpls.bsky.social. Buy a book and support unhoused folks: www.cursedmorselspress.com

Here's a great list of places in the Bay Area to eat for free or very cheap with SNAP benefits, which is also an excellent list of places to support if you can afford to!

In the lead-up to #Novellavember, I am going to do some rec threads! I decided to dedicate day one to tiny presses, the true loves of my heart. I have yelled about all of these books before. I will yell about them again. You're welcome.

100 bucks and we got a surgery going for Mohammad’s brother! ♥️🫶 CMON SO CLOSE.

Sama'a's account has been deleted. Her replacement has been marked "spam". She relies on us to feed her family and to find shelter in the ruins of Gaza. Please give what you can. gofund.me/db56c7ce3

Most of us have pathologically useless parents who don't care to learn about protecting us properly, but this dogshit really takes the cake.

This is a really good look at how tech billionaires (who want to live forever by uploading their brains into a machine) use fantasy writing to distract from the tangible real harms their tech does. Do you trust these people with weapons-grade plutonium?

To ring in the book’s birthday, my publisher @traumbooks.bsky.social has dropped the price to $1. Get it cheap before month’s end on ITCH or PAYHIP. traumbooks.com/maej/

i think it's great if ICE officers can only run 6mph. make it less actually. hire ICE officers who can only drag themselves oozily along like snails. hire snails actually. then squash them

My talented partner made this great and weird zine!
