@fsgbooks.bsky.social AI slop and creativity got to GO. Why are you doing a disservice to authors hard work by using fake artists?? No one wanted this covert art to be done by generative AI.

Yay, it's really good. What I wanted from other books with a lense focus on Palestinoans past and present but really good writing.

Call me Boba! @bookzandnails.bsky.social · May 16

It really is! I had to stop listening on my commute I wanted to highlight so much! The author narrates and is very lively and evocative listening to him.

I'm not hearing any buzz from my mutuals about "PERFECT VICTIMS" By Mohammed El-Kurd. It is so visceral and evoces vivid imagery to what we've seen from our screens and in person what is happening to Palestinians. The audiobook tandem w/ my @palfest.bsky.social book
#BookSky

A excerpt of the book" we are meek and we shall inherit no earth. What are we not allowed is the future: we cannot be ambitious or cunning; we cannot aspire to sovereignty or revenge. We are robbed of the right to complexity, to contradictory feelings, the right to "contain multitudes."' Our sadness is
without teeth. Perhaps we can be bitter (see: "Palestinian Rejec-
tionism"), but belligerence and hostility---foreign concepts to
our oppressors, apparently- exile us outside of humanity once more. The only thing we are permitted to look forward to is the day's end.

Don't be surprised if I leave a comment then unfollow if I see anyone gushing for these books. I'm so done with the hand holding with HP fanfic fans.

If you're buying N*zi slave fic that's major selling point is being based on a series whose creator is destroying my human rights, do not bother trying to defend yourself or this book!
You are the problem, and your enjoyment does not supersede actual harm being done to real people

There is no ethical way to enjoy Harry Potter at this point.

I'm sorry, but if you are old enough to know better and you buy her stuff, you're complicit. It sucks. I get it. But she is using what you give her to do unfathomable evil.

If you value trans lives, there's no other choice here.

See the movies or don't, read your kids whatever you want, but this self-portrait of a gloating hatemonger is the identity she has chosen.

They seem pretty proud of it. Donating some undisclosed amount to trans foundations do not outdo gleefully publishing and advertising HP fanfic
