The lovely people at @asimovssfmag, one of the first places to publish a poem from my Choosing Sides book, have published an article I wrote about trying to get the book published. I was a diligent rereader of I, Robot as a kid so this is a real thrill. fromearthtothestars.com/2025/10/21/t...

it’s not a ceasefire if they are still killing people
Folks, Israel is not letting aid in which means Palestinians continue to have to buy food on the black market from Israel sponsored gangs. If you can donate a little money to the fundraisers we're posting, you can keep someone alive. Palestinians wouldn't beg if they didn't have to.
UNRWA has enough food outside #Gaza to supply people there for 3 months, amid desperate need. Our teams stand ready to deliver it.
But despite the #ceasefire, the Israeli Authorities’ block on UNRWA bringing any supplies into Gaza still continues.
Let us get aid into Gaza at the full scale needed.

"We as Palestinians are often congratulated for our resilience. It has become the badge pinned on us—the costume of the noble victim. Our ability to breathe under rubble is praised as a virtue, when it’s actually an indictment of the world that put us there."
Gaza’s Broken Politics
Every movement that claimed to speak for Palestinians has failed them. The next chapter must belong to those who have endured the devastation.

So far TODAY Israel has:
- bombed Gaza City
- bombed Khan Younis
- shot and killed five Palestinians in Gaza City
- refused to open the Rafah border crossing
- announced they would once more block aid
This is what a "ceasefire" with Israel looks like. This is what it has always looked like.
