Jane Shi | 皮爬高 echolalia echolalia is out now @pipagaopoetry.bsky.social · Jan 29

when i started writing echolalia echolalia several years ago, i had no idea there would be a beautiful orange snake on the cover just in time for the year of the yin wood snake, surrounded by lush green in the form of Jia Sung's "snake eater" (2021). i'm very grateful for the gift of poetry.

Book cover w/ expressionist-realist painting of person w/ buzzed hair & yellow skin, wearing a grey-white smock, fighting/eating a bright orange snake in a lush dark green, maroon, orange jungle; the forest floor is a dark green & the sky is a pale pink-lavender. Person's mouth is open; they are barefoot. Above person in a snaky S wiggle are "echolalia echolalia" in bolded white serif font & "jane shi" in regular white serif font. The cover is on a light green banner with translucent snakes decorating the background.

Large brown text reads "YEAR OF THE YIN WOOD SNAKE" beside book and below are the words in regular Futura font, "All proceeds of echolalia echolalia from
Workshops4Gaza’s bookstore go towards tents, cash aid, and medical supplies in South Gaza via The Sameer Project.

Signed copies available to order."

Below in bolded Futura font: "bit.ly/echolaliaecholaliaW4G"

Ken Sim's stunt of a motion has put the City Manager in the difficult position of delivering against an unreasonable ask, with an unreasonable timeline. The process is so rushed that we will have NO details when we vote in November.

Ken Sim won't know what he's voting to cut. And neither will you.

Housing Minister Christine Boyle just introduced a bill that will give Vancouver City Council the power to dissolve the Vancouver Park Board - something Ken Sim has been pushing for over a year #bcpoli

summer walker said free palestine, free sudan, free congo in 2023 or early 2024… anyway.

Jane Shi | 皮爬高 echolalia echolalia is out now @pipagaopoetry.bsky.social · 2d

this whole “don’t mess with the swifties” or “don’t mess with the beyhive” or “don’t mess with kpop stans” thing is interesting considering that it’s kpop stans that have mobilized the hardest around palestine, imo.

"Every life taken in this genocide is the destruction of an entire universe. As we mourn this catastrophe alongside the many other genocides around the world, and alongside the fascism growing and fomenting in our own countries, we refuse to live as if business can continue as normal.”

Is it because they think they’re special? That what happened to their patients won’t happen to them? That they won’t pass COVID to other people? That they’re above sickness? I don’t get it. And at the very least…read the room?
