Almost every week I talk with Mohammed. He’s been kicked off of this site and cannot create a new account. He’s really struggling to raise money on other platforms. He has seven people in his family, and they had nothing to eat yesterday. Please give him a boost!

This is an important documentary that underscores the stakes for all of us -- not just journalists, but the communities that they cover. This is worth your time.

The documentary "Stripped for Parts: American Journalism on the Brink," about how Hedge fund Alden Global Capital is gobbling up newspapers across America and gutting them, is available to watch on PBS.

repost this if an editor has ever saved you from yourself

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

I NO LONGER RECOGNIZE MYSELF…
The person I once was is buried beneath the ruins of these endless nights.
My heart carries more pain than it can bear.💔

Every breath I take feels borrowed,
and every sunrise reminds me that I survived…
but I’m not truly alive.

✨ PLEASE STAND WITH US.
✨ BE OUR VOICE.🕊

In our fragile tent, my brothers sleep dreaming of a loaf of bread, while I stay awake wondering how we will face tomorrow with the same hunger
The tent does not shield us from the cold of night, nor from the cruelty of deprivation yet it is all we have💔🙏

been revisiting a wizard of earthsea for the first time since like middle school - it’s incredible, obvi. has me thinking about how a certain book series seemingly has a monopoly on the magic-kid-goes-to-magic-school-and-finds-his-destiny genre but it’s arguably not even the best among them

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Ramadan. Ramadan is 23 years old and worked in his father’s sewing factory. His father was killed and now he’s responsible for his family including his siblings Rula, 26, Rami, 20 and Ramey, 17 as well as his 2 year old nephew Jihad.

One of the more incredible stories out of LA this year has been how a taco review blog became the best on-the-ground coverage of ICE raids in the city.

They do a dispatch every day, follow-up on the kidnapped people (which almost no media outlet has done), and fact-check government claims.

@lataco.bsky.social first began as a blog documenting local Mexican cuisine. Now, it’s an essential reporting powerhouse to the city as Trump’s mass deportation plot unfolds.

ABC News: "Satellite images show extent of destruction in Gaza after 2 years of war."

Gaza has been destroyed, with hundreds of thousands killed. The civilians rely on our donations to survive.

Please give to my friend Tasneem so she can feed her children. And to others. ❤️

tinyurl.com/Tasneemo
An image of Tasneem and her family in Gaza. With the words: "I'm Tasneem, a mother of three children. I used to live a simple life, full of love despite its simplicity - but everything changed on October 7. Our home was completely destroyed, we've been displaced more than 15 times, and now we live in daily hell. My only dream is to secure a safe life for my children outside of Gaza. Any support - even just €5 - could change their future and give them a sense of safety. Help us build a new hope for them" Satellite image of Jabalia in Gaza, leveled.

with all this talk of content moderation….I’d like to remind you to follow Eslam, who is separated from her family in Gaza. I know lots of people have interacted with her in the past. She’s been kicked off of Bsky multiple times now, just like countless others who happen to be from Gaza. Help out.
