The thing about workshops is a plan is always good but it’s also really good to be prepared for the eventuality of throwing said plan out the window. #workshopprep

The fundraisers I share are for the parents and families of children like the ones in this video. Most are getting almost no shares or donations at this point. Please, please, if you see one, help in whatever way you can--share, donate.

UNICEF global spokesperson testifying from Gaza after witnessing so many children bombed and shot down by the Israelis. He’s clearly overwhelmed by the amount of injured or dead children.

Obvious CW here.

Haha. Just checked your profile and I’m like: that was a wavelength! (life choices). Sending good vibes as you continue to write.

Progressive/liberal white people who are still silent, who are still 'supporters' of a genocidal rogue state, who are still handing the nazis the very definition of antisemitism to weaponise as they scrabble to protect the comforts of empire, should look at Thunberg's courage and shrivel in shame.

Human rights defender Greta Thunberg: "I am not scared of Israel, I am scared of a world that has seemingly lost all sense of humanity. What we are doing here is trying to show there is some humanity left. That there are still people willing to step up when all other means fail." #3E

So much happening in the world right now & nobody covers it quite like @globalvoices.org: whistleblowers in Nigeria, peace activists in SE Asia, anti-corruption in Nepal: when you open the front page of Global Voices you get a combination of coverage & perspectives that you won't find anywhere else.

I’m probably going to be linking to this a lot because it’s one of my favorite reviews I’ve ever gotten.

Putting this book on my wishlist. I loved Bone City so much and have got Witch King lined up as a next read. Will read that one first.
