For if it is rash to walk into a lion's den unarmed, rash to navigate the Atlantic in a rowing boat, rash to stand on one foot on top of St. Paul's, it is still more rash to go home alone with a poet. A poet is Atlantic and lion in one. (Woolf)

Every literary festival or theatre should condemn this, but as Sonia says, they won’t. They will cowardly disguise themselves by saying it’s “politics” and that they aren’t “political”. The storming of the National Theatre of Palestine is a crime not only on Palestinians, but on Palestinian art.
I can’t wait for PEN to comment on the Israeli intelligence forces storming the Palestinian National Theatre in Jerusalem and threatening the whole cast of the children’s performance and the audience if they didn’t leave in five minutes.
Because they won’t.
Because they won’t.

It's not just "consumer smart" it reduces environmental waste, key materials are often mined in slave conditions. The whole tenor of the article is wrong - why is the economy so dependent on us engaging in mass waste?
www.cnbc.com/2025/11/23/h... "please, buy new phone. the economy is dying" is an incredible gaslight
Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever and it's costing economy
Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever before, and while it may be consumer smart, it comes at a cost to work productivity and the U.S. economy.

The presenter at this training suggested folks stop in at local businesses with “Immigrants Welcome” signs & offer this (or similar) more useful & forceful alternative. Something small you can do when you have a bit of time. I am.

The more I learn, the louder I repeat that pregnancy is metal as fuck.
Unfortunate we’ve painted pregnancy as this cutesy tradwife dream in pastels when in reality it is the bloodiest, absolute most metal thing bodies do.

We've entered the particularly bleak segment of the "holiday" season when companies scream at us to BUY BUY CONSUME while at the exact same moment, organizations beg for a few dollars to support things like libraries. Food and shelter. The arts. Actual human thriving. It's depressing as hell.

Durham, North Carolina: ICE and border patrol are pulling over random people (my wife who is as white as it gets and grew up 15 miles from Kristi Noem's house) and surrounding their cars looking for anybody they can disappear off the street. Film them and tell them to fuck off. They are cowards.

I love teaching afterschool poetry bc I can do whatever the heck I want and often that just means sharing some of my all time faves with this sweet and wacky bunch of 3rd to 5th graders. Day one I started them with "Recuerdo" by Edna St. Vincent Millay, just to enjoy the rhythm and story.

Sadly, there has been a drop in support to the campaigns listed on lifeline4gaza.com. Palestinians in #Gaza are facing a harsh winter amidst a genocide without any aid besides what they can raise in their survival campaigns. Please share to help uplift their appeals.
Another way in which you can support lifeline4gaza.com is by printing the flyers available on the website and passing them around in your community. This project that supports several survival campaigns for Palestinians in #Gaza depends on all of us to keep moving. Please do what you can to help.

Rudy Bridges is younger than the Sitting President of the United States and 29 sitting United States Senators
It’s useful for people of my generation to be reminded that this wasn’t that long ago. Ruby Bridges isn’t just still alive—she’s only 71, not ancient!
65 years ago on Nov. 14, little Ruby Bridges was escorted into an all-white elementary school in New Orleans. Norman Rockwell, renowned for blissful depictions of Americana, did this remarkable painting for Look magazine. Printed as a double page, over-size spread, it's his masterpiece.

Heavy rainfall floods the camps of displaced Palestinians in Gaza | CNN
Displaced Palestinians in Gaza woke up Friday morning to inches of water flooding their tents, after heavy rainfall overnight left their shelters and belongings soaked with no way to dry them out.

It shouldn't feel radical to sit and read a book or watch an entire film w/o looking at your phone, let alone the super weirdo shit like look at a work of art for 90 whole seconds (freak!) or exercise without tracking it (gasp!). Fuck billionaires and everything they steal -- our attention included.

People of all ages should know about this man [especially white people because some of you continue to pretend that people didn't know that enslaving Africans WAS WRONG at the time].
We will hold the launch of our children’s book, *Fearless Benjamin* (PM Press), this evening, Tuesday, Nov. 11, at 6:00 pm at the Abington Quaker Meeting House, where Benjamin Lay worshipped and where he is buried. See the flyer below for more info. Please join us!
