Your maskless face is a weapon being used by fascists as they dismantle public health. Do not help them harm BIPOC, disability, trans, immigrant, etc communities, who face greater risk with fewer resources. Wearing n95 is an act of hope, community care, and resistance. Give/get mask mutual aid:

For your information, “phase one” of the ceasefire deal came to an end today. Negotiations for “phase two” have barely begun. Why they don’t want to go to “phase two”? Because it means israel will withdraw its forces from Gaza completely, which they don’t want to do.

Hi folks, an author friend and true pillar of the publishing community is in need of funds to leave and recover from a domestic violence situation. Their name is not disclosed because of the nature of the situation, but I can vouch that this is legitimate. Please share and give if you can 💜

So excited for this!!!

CHICAGO: Join @yaffasutopia.bsky.social and me next week for "Community Care Under Fascism" at @pilsencommbooks.bsky.social. Yaffa's book Whispers Beneath the Orange Grove blends personal narratives with strategies to build a liberated world grounded in mutual aid, community care, & collectivism ❤️

Happy Sunday, please donate if you can and share if you can’t. Alex practices constant mutual aid and is a huge force for good in her community and she needs some love right now.

Khalil was abducted and tortured by the genocidal state. He has at last been freed and reunited with loved ones, but he is in severe pain and urgently needs $550 for a neck brace. Share & send some support his way: chuffed.org/project/1226...

The dancer who waved the Sudan/Palestinian Flag during Kendrick Lamar's half time performance is Zül-Qarnaįn. He runs a project called Open Book Platform which focuses on truth in media. He was released without charge. His Instagram handles are @openbookplatform and @fff_zulqarnain

Ethnic cleansing and genocide are always sanitized by language by those committing it. Settler colonial states&colonizers will always be pro-ethnic cleansing and genocide because they can not exist without it. Remove genocide from the equation and the global north as a concept ends.

People in Gaza are still collecting the skulls and decomposed remains of their children from beneath the rubble, while some fantasize about building a resort on their mass graves, and others gloat over a minority that refused to vote for the party that enabled a genocide.

it’s a good time to be loud about your love of trans people. its a good time to say explicitly that you don’t consent to benefitting from privileges granted by a society that is trying to erase us. it matters.

Alex has done so much for her family and friends and community, and if you can, please consider helping out; the best way we all get through this is together 💜

Online workshop offering tomorrow. Registration link in bio. Open to folks anywhere.

STUDENT WALK OUT- OUTSIDE LOS ANGELES CITY HALL: High school students from all over LA have walked out of class and gathered in front of city hall to protest the president’s fascist agenda. SOLIDARITY WITH THE YOUTH! FUCK ICE!

The goal was always to ethnically cleanse Gaza. They failed to meet that goal with 15 months of the most brutal extermination campaign in modern history. And they think they can make it happen now? Absurd. This feels like a move to reassure Netenyahu’s image with the Israeli right.

THIS ENDS IN EMBERS is on sale today, and, just like that, I have become the author of a completed YA fantasy duology. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. B&N: www.barnesandnoble.com/w/this-ends-... AZN: www.amazon.com/This-Ends-Em... Indie: bookshop.org/p/books/this...

hey friends, my wife is currently running a fundraiser to help with resourcing as she continues to look for safe and fulfilling work as things deteriorate quickly for trans women in this country. I would so appreciate your help sharing widely. www.gofundme.com/f/help-a-tra...

sending love to all the revolutionaries who know their personal comfort is not the priority with so many marginalized lives and futures at stake to all of you pushing past biases and out of your comfort zones to show up for those with less privilege than you, I see you and and I love you 🖤

QUEER AS IN FREE PALESTINE 🍉 This is one small thing my wife and I recently put together: Queer T-shirts and hoodies for Gaza mutual aid. 100% of proceeds go to fundraisers for Palestinian families in Gaza. Mutual aid is not charity, but rather resistance and reparations. BUY: bit.ly/queers4gaza

The West Bank is under attack. Missile strikes. Mass arrests. Escalated occupation presence. Metal gates at village entrances. Pogroms by settlers. Palestinians never get a moment to breathe.

Let’s celebrate trans books! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 Please comment a book with a trans or non-binary MC that you think more people should read. I’ll start! A YA coming of age love story between a neurodivergent non-binary writer and their transmasc former best friend, with an all Black cast. #booksky #queerbooksky

The weather has been awful and now everything they have is soaked. He doesn't even have rubble to return to, they bulldozed his house away

This needs amplifying very widely.

Palestine will be free.

467 days. None of us will ever be the same. Nor should we be. Nothing will ever be the same. Nor should it be.

The ceasefire deal comes into force on Sunday at 12:15pm Gaza time. This means Israel will be able to kill more Gazans in the coming +72 hours.

Boycott Israel. Sanction Israel. Divest from Israel. Refuse to perform in Israel. Arrest Israeli soldiers and war criminals. Genocide is not in the past. Genocide is not forgotten. Genocide is an active event. The land remains occupied, bulldozed, and collectively punished.

✨PLEASE SHARE✨ It is live!!! There are over 260 AMAZING items to bid on in the 2nd annual #KidLit4Ceasefire auction from year-long mentorships to signed books to full manuscript critiques to art commissions the fundraiser has you covered! 🇵🇸 Link: bit.ly/KidLit4Cease...

Sharif's campaign hasn't gotten any traction and it's only getting colder in Gaza. Please help him afford some clothes and food #gaza #gofundgaza #mutualaid #palestine

At this point - after multiple documented situations of anti-Palestinian sentiment from the top down, anti-Blackness from the top down, disappointing authors of color during multiple circumstances from the top down - continuing to endorse and participate in SCBWI is a statement of racism.

Hashem is in a lot of pain. He's got sciatica but hasn't been able to access any meds for it since the war. Now he can barely walk but has nowhere comfortable to relax and feel better.

Kidlit community, I ask you to cut ties with SCBWI. Their anti-Palestinian and anti-Black racism is inexcusable. No business as usual during genocide.

Hashem and his whole extended family near Khan Younis is being bombed and shelled by tanks today. Please help them raise enough to evacuate gofund.me/3e4b1c9b

I’m crying. Whenever Dr. Hussam comes to my mind, I think of Dr. Adnan Al-Bursh. I love Dr. Adnan and I fear Dr. Hussam will face the same destiny. Please no.

Left this org last year because of their stance on Gaza.

The Society of Childrens Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) planned to put out a statement supporting Israel while it commits genocide. Danielle Monique spoke up and was fired for insubordination. We have to do better in the kid lit community.

At this point, Israel is bombing what has already been bombed, destroying what has already been destroyed, displacing those who have already been displaced—often multiple times—and killing those who have lost everything and are on the brink of death..
