Support Columbia students risking everything to protest. Venmo @ bcabolitioncollective

New student circle on the lawn at Columbia. Arrests didn’t stop a thing.

professors buried beneath their homes in gaza. professors arrested from their homes in jerusalem. professors, safe in their second homes upstate, denying genocide and attacking students.

That letter also claims that writers who do not wish to withdraw their books from consideration are somehow being silenced because they're afraid to defend their position, and I sincerely believe you all need to be so fucking for real right now PEN America

Anyone - any writer, any politician, any institutional leader - who doesn't emphasize the incredible level of Palestinian suffering right now is not an honest person.

We are at almost 200 days and over 40,000 dead. Don't be distracted. #ceasefirenow

obligatory promotional post and witty comment

Carrie bombing while teaching at the learning annex is so very me when I try to teach

it’s my bday 🐣 & i have a support ask: i was accepted on fellowship to the martha’s vineyard institute of creative writing’s conference in may, & it’s mostly covered, but there’s $500 left to pay. it’s a mix of poetry, fic, & nonfic workshops + personalized manuscript attn ✍🏽

Columbia campus is once again closed to the public and is surrounded by cops and multiple NYPD corrections buses — fully prepared to send its own students to jail if they dare to gather, chant, hold up a sign. Lower lows every day!

all of you need to stop writing fiction—

Write in present tense, past tense, sideways tense, fell-out-of-a-coconut-tree tense, electric-slide tense, 30–50-feral-hogs tense, whatever tense! No one will reach out of your computer screen and choke you over it. Just don't write future tense, because there isn't one!

PEN can’t get it right with anyone — including its own workers. Please support their rally and their fight for a fair contact!

Co-signing! Emma Copley Eisenberg wrote the hell out of this novel. One of my favorite books and reading experiences so far this year!

A college history professor once told me, ' Palestine is an invented identity. You're really Jordanian. There's no such thing as Palestine.'

Wish I could send him this, with my book on the 4th shelf. #ProudToBePalestinian #Palestine
