Rafah is being decimated, there is nowhere else left to go. Israel is now bombing more than 1.7 million civilians trapped in Rafah, Gaza's last place of refuge. A massacre is happening in Rafah right now and the world is silent.

1/ On International Women’s Day, Palestinian women in Gaza continue to endure an ongoing genocide at the hands of the Israeli military. See thread to hear from them.

#internationalwomensday #StopTheGenocide

This is what Palestinian novelist Susan Abulhawa had to say about Gaza (she just left):

ISDAL is a terrific achievement. A twisty meditation on murder and the industry of media fascination that surrounds it. Beautiful, moving and often darkly comic, it wormed its way into my brain and stayed there for some time after reading - this is richly deserved!

ISDAL is on the shortlist for the John Pollard Prize and I'm immensely grateful - little kernels of affirmation like this help sustain me through the long, damp winters of obscurity x

This is a poem from Gub by Scott McKendry. The book is so good I felt compelled to write a blurb for it, and that blurb contained various thoughtfully chosen and complimentary adjectives. It's a brilliant and clever and funny book, you should buy it

Susannah Dickey, from ISDAL
