on charlie kirk and jimmy kimmel
a post on threads by @legallybookishserena that reads: Hey remember when Pro-Palestinian protestors were being arrested and brutalized by law enforcement we said “Hey guys free speech is *already* under attack and it’s only going to get worse if we dont do something about it NOW?” Silly me I forgot “PaLeStInE iS jUsT oNe IsSuE.” Oh look at that. A white man on a late-night talk show is cancelled for expressing something the government didn’t like. I wonder if they are related 🤔 a post on threads by @thegingarab. it's a picture showing a photo of Charlie Kirk at the top and text below the photo that reads "Charlie Kirks assassination is a threat to free speech", followed by photos of five martyred Palestinian journalists and text that reads "... meanwhile 'israel' has killed over 260 Palestinian journalists iin the last 2 years" post on threads by @itsdanawhite that reads "People have lost their livelihoods over two years now for speaking against the bipartisan funded genocide but you were able to ignore that, especially under Biden. Sometimes that second alarm after hitting snooze is the loudest though." post on threads by @doriandawes that reads: "I am gonna be honest I feel some sort of way about the outrage over Jimmy Kimmel but not all the teachers, service workers, and queer artists who have been silenced. Palestinian activists who have been stripped of their passports and deported or disappeared entirely. Liberals remain stupid classist and racist, ignoring everyone else getting beat down until someone from their tax bracket gets affected."

#UpScrolled was built by a Palestinian-Australian developer and it's being supported/promoted by @techforpalestine.org.
It is remarkably usable for a very young app, but rest assured a lot more features and functionality are coming. To learn more about the company see upscrolled.com/about

#ArcReview for A Poor Man's Prose by Jahid Wilson, Jr.! Book releases on July 15, 2025. Definitely keep an eye out! The quote is from the author's note at the end of the poem that opened up the book "Blessed Be The Black Body", which already made me cry #BookSky
the slide contains white text on top of a photo of a dark starry sky. text on top: 'arc review', followed by the cover of the book A Poor Man's Prose by Jahid Wilson Jr and another line of text in smaller font: 'releases July 15, 2025'. text of review: 'This book is unlike anything I've read before. I found it slow-paced and it was a little frustrating when the more supernatural aspect of the book didn't quite make sense, BUT I became immediately attached to the protagonist and his crew and couldn't help but rooting for them. I was laughing and crying alongside the characters as if I was a part of the crew and I felt genuine care and fear for them like they were my actual friends. And the JOURNEY that the protagonist went through! The difficult emotions, like hate, self-doubt and grief are tackled so beautifully. An extremely powerful read.' text of quote: '"From the river to the sea" is a call for Palestinian liberation. I echo it here as a prayer for all colonized, enslaved, and oppressed peoples... I see you. Your blood is my blood. Your battles are my battles. We can be silenced, but we cannot be broken. One day, we will all be free.'

I wanna speak more about the Congo and Sudan. There's also a genocide happening in the Congo and Sudan and it's important that it also has our attention. Sudan is bleeding. The Congo is bleeding. Speak up for them too. Africans are also human beings. Black folks are also human beings. 🇨🇩🇸🇩

Two big book conventions have gone tits up recently.

A Million Lives took money from authors and attendees and provided next to nothing. In one panel people had to sit on the floor.

Then Seattle Worldcon was found to have used ChatGPT to vet panelists. The prompt was ‘find scandals’.

Oh dear.
