please don’t STOP talking about palestine! israel entered the central region of gaza and bombed civilian areas on the first day of eid (which is considered a happy day for muslims and they are planning to enter rafah which is the 'safest' zone in gaza.

Okay, I wrote. Not very much, but incremental progress is progress.

I have exhausted every last dollar donating to presses after SPD’s collapse, Gaza evacuations, mutual aid, subscribing to publications that MUST live on. (Hang on, LA Taco! I’m waiting on a check!)

I don’t have a job rn. So please, give what you can, because I no longer can.

Just spoke to my mum after 4 months, since she left Jabalia to Khan Younis. I am the happiest and saddest person at the same time. I want to hide somewhere and just cry. How can this be allowed? A woman of her age, so tired and ill, in a tent somewhere with hardly any support?

im so serious too. i’m graduating in june. i can write !! and organize !

Matters unrelated to the ongoing destruction of Palestinian life feel frivolous, but it’s Jaroslav Hašek’s birth month, so we’ll be posting one translated short story by Hašek each day until his birthday, when we’ll publish a brand new one for the big occasion…

#27DaysOfHašek

The illegal occupation of our country has gone on long enough, or rather, it has been covered up long enough, it depends on killing us and looting everything, and this has to stop. Our souls are tired.

Someone hire this principled and astonishingly good writer!

I will continue to update this thread but for those of you living in the US or UK, Mordecai made this even handier and more comprehensive book purchase page that includes authors who withdrew from PEN World Voices in solidarity with P@lestine as well 💜

This is a great book!!!

Thanks to Mordecai P. Martin for compiling a Bookshop list of writers who’ve withdrawn from PEN America prize lists, making it even easier for us to support them and buy their books!

💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

Just a stellar list in its own right, plus the extra motivation to support those who are doing what they can to stand with Gaza.
