Today I was meant to join Rabbis for Human Rights for their end-of-harvest event in the occupied West Bank. We were supposed to support Palestinian farmers in selling their goods and securing a bit of their livelihood that is constantly under threat. 🧵🧵

Yesterday I ushered at a film festival in Tel Aviv dedicated to Palestinian cinema. At the post-screening panel, Gramsci the dog climbed on the stage to ask the filmmakers for a bellyrub. 💕

Today we harvested many olive trees in Ramallah. Wothout Israeli and international volunteers, the Palestinian farmers are prohibited from harvesting their own orchards. This is their livelihood, and we stand in solidarity with them.

Yesterday, I joined a human rights group in Ramallah, the Occupied West Bank, to help Palestinian farmers harvest their olive trees. Then settlers arrived with guns, backed by the IDF, threatened us, and forced us out of the orchard. Violence is surging in the West Bank.

This morning in Nablus, the Occupied West Bank, we stood in solidarity with Palestinian farmers, planting olive trees—a symbol of resilience and deep-rooted connection to the land. Suffering violence by criminal settlers, their endurance is a reminder of the urgent need for justice and solidarity.

My book, Guilt and Finnegans Wake, is officially out today with Florida Press. We're having an online launch with @joycesociety.bsky.social on March 4, at 12 pm EST. I wrote a poem to entice you to attend. Maybe you already read it on Facebook. Here it is now:

A question to my Joycean/Modernist colleagues: when H.G. Wells say that "Like Swift and another living Irish writer, Mr. Joyce has a cloacal obsession", who is the other "living Irish writer"? Apologies if the answer is obvious and I am exposing my ignorance.

Guilt, Glory, and Guinness: A Poem
Guilt lingers, thick as foam.
Glory flares, too bright to hold.
Guinness swirls, velvet-smooth,
a liquid hug, the soul to soothe.
Three Gs - two in the book,
one in the glass I took.

I joined Rabbis for Human Rights in the Occupied West Bank to help the Palestinian communities plant olive trees. Criminal Jewish settlers often uproot trees to hurt the Palestinian fatmers' livelihood. So we come to show solidarity and help with whatever we can.
