An Israeli offensive in #Rafah would mean more civilian suffering & deaths. The consequences would be devastating for 1.4 million people

UNRWA is not evacuating: the Agency will maintain a presence in Rafah as long as possible & will continue providing lifesaving aid to people

🇵🇸 Le docteur Ghassan Abu-Sittah a vécu l’horreur des bombardements israéliens à Gaza. Il devait témoigner aujourd’hui en France mais il est refoulé à l’aéroport. Quelle honte. Son récit est essentiel : La France doit accueillir Ghassan Abu Sitta !

For all of our Lancaster staff and student followers! Check out this incredible opportunity⬇️⬇️⬇️

Heartbreaking. Rest in Peace PAUL AUSTER (1947-2024); his new york trilogy (and so many more) is mindblowing.

Finally reading this perfect page turner for me, dauntbookspublishing.co.uk/book/ways-to-d… about translators’ entanglements with authors, their lives and fictions, it’s all about work too. (And Copacabana.) there’s no natural ethical boundary between work and life.

There are times when a text comes to you when you need it. Anne McClean's #translation of Juan Gabriel Vásquez's essay 'In Praise of the Invisible' is just that for me this morning. Thank you, WordsWithoutBorders, for being a place where humanity happens.
