Feeling extra conflicted about Hanukkah this year.
As I wrote a few years ago, the holiday is basically an eight night celebration of religious extremism and Jewish militarism.

Anyone out there looking for an AWP panel pinch hitter? I thought I wasn’t going to go but now I am.
Happy to speak about pretty much anything related to process, craft, teaching, etc.

I know this may not be for everyone right now. But because I know there are a lot of folks trying to understand the conflict, because I believe in the power of fiction, and because these books were v important to my own understanding, I wanted to share this list of Palestinian and Israeli fiction.

A few months ago, I put this picture my daughter drew up on my wall. Every few days I find her going back to it and adding in new details. Obviously a mood I am very familiar with.
