The U.S. dropped 635,000 tonnes of bombs on Korea, included 32,557 tonnes of napalm. Is this the aid you're referring to?

The solidarity among nominees for the Jean Stein Book Award is particularly beautiful to see in light of the late Stein’s own solidarity with the people of Palestine, which, as her friend Philip Weiss wrote, extended to a decades-long personal boycott of “Israel.”

I withdrew my work from consideration for the Jean Stein Award. I can't align myself w/ a human rights org that waits 5 months to call for a ceasefire in Gaza, while platforming zionists & pretending there's nuance to genocide.

Please read/sign this petition calling for CUNY to reinstate adjuncts who have been fired for speaking out against genocide and in support of Palestinian liberation. One of them is my friend, the brilliant writer, translator Lisa Hofmann-Kuroda: t.ly/GvlF7 CUNY4Palestine

❤️ Mattilda B Sycamore is the best.

Sunday morning read: Mattilda B Sycamore! With almond croissant, berries, & cappuccino! Thanks for the rec Shayne Terry — I’m already immersed & underlining sentence after sentence.

interesting that this comes days after pitzer - a college under the same consortium - ended their haifa study abroad program. claremont college admin is lashing out and making the cops riot on their behalf.

BREAKING NEWS AT POMONA COLLEGE: 30+ cops have arrived on campus in full riot gear to arrest students who are currently trapped inside Alexander Hall. Earlier today, students initiated a sit-in in response to the administration violently confiscating their mock apartheid wall.

Where are the well-resourced literary orgs who can step in with funds to support transferring these books?? Why is Ingram making this rushed choice to destroy so much?? Is there really no other option?? This terrible situation rests on a lot more than SPD’s terrible rot & mess.

Any unclaimed inventory from SPD will be recycled in 60 days.

Ingram in effect liquidating a significant portion of small press publishing history.

Is there any way to intervene here, CLMP?

Yes, a stunning interview in the Poetry Project newsletter!🌟💥 'Sycamore frames & reframes our conceptions of how we might walk through cities; talk to our ancestors; look at a single square of paper until it opens up a new space inside our stomachs'

Bet Eric Adams finds a way to turn the earthquake into a demand for more police

ballast is a year old today. the world is a year worse, a year more genocidal. grateful to have this work in the world and thankful to everyone who has engaged with it; deeply sad this is the world we work in and against.

Inspired by @thedykeproject’s action, an autonomous group of NYC artists replaced subway ads with designs from Queering The Map. These posters amplify the heart-wrenching, beautiful stories of queer Palestinians.
