‘The only healing will be through justice’: Pulitzer winner Cristina Rivera Garza on femicide in Mexico theguardian.com/books/article/…

Alice Munro 🖤

With more than 1.5 million civilians crowded into a narrow sliver of land, an Israeli military escalation threatens to turn Rafah #Gaza into a graveyard. My full statement: doctorswithoutborders.org/latest/israel-…

Heartbreaking, sickening and infuriating to see what is happening in Rafah right now.

Voice your humanity on this one. Genocide is genocide and it’s happening in plain sight. Solidarity with everyone against state-sponsored terrorism.

Rafah is being bombed & UNWRA is remaining in place. Reminds me of all the Palestinian health care workers who would not abandon their patients

Reading a lot of new and wonderful short story collections at the moment, and this is an absolute stand-out. Reporting from the borderlands of continued human existence on earth. Bleakness opens out into something tender, and funny and beautiful. To be read urgently.

“Our problems in this country are not arriving on a beach in Kent from France.
They’re arriving because of the oligarchs and the billionaires that run our society.”

Always loved this place

Congrats to the very brilliant Fady Joudah!

A good time to let you guys know several prominent reviewers pitched Fady’s book to a number of mainstream newspapers and journals…each one came back with thanks but no thanks…wonder why????

Imagine working with Leone Ross - whose work could be prescribed as delicious medicine and whose pages already teach so much - or don’t imagine it, and instead actually do it
