"A community organizer, Yadana Oo, said the family had fled from persecution and into refugee camps. 'To come here and to lose your child that way, it makes you question,' she said. 'Did we run from one persecutor to another?'"

"Gaza’s remaining hospitals, health centers and oxygen stations will stop working within 48 hours...Israel’s closure of the vital Rafah border crossing last month severed key supply lines, limiting access to food, fuel and medical supplies, aid groups say."

Evergreen pitch for this kind of workshop is that I encourage people who *aren't* poets to consider it. Songwriters, emcees, fiction writers, of course—but also comms people, activists and movement folks looking to expand their toolkit, etc. The stuff we'll be exploring relates to more than poetry:

I don't think I've ever talked on Bluesky about why I hate the Foo Fighters and Dave Grohl. Don't read any further unless you're prepared for uncomfortable truths about the "Nicest Guy in Rock", and his very substantial body count & subsequent cover-up.

If you've made it to the end of this thread, my only request is that you share it with others. So many people suffered because of this denialism, and it frankly burns me up that this dark legacy has been made to disappear without a fuss.

Last reminder: if you're in the middle of that venn diagram of people who are fans of BTS, zines, and Palestinian liberation, hope you can join us tonight at 7pm central: bit.ly/zineswitharmy

But even if you can't make it, you can still support the fundraiser: gofund.me/b54aa216

Quick petition ask for MN folks: "The Health Equity Department says the event has been 'postponed' and are now trying to host their own sanitized version of the event—one which will 'celebrate Palestinian culture' without talking about the Palestinian people’s ongoing struggle against oppression."

I wonder if there aren't many (if any) memoirs about this out there because memoirs are tough to get published generally and I'm guessing publishers aren't keen on this particular topic.

The night Israel killed my family

On the night of March 2 Israel wiped out four generations of my family. I barely survived the slaughter. It is now my responsibility to tell their story.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

I've been listening to this "dark academia" station and somehow it felt really nostalgic and I realized it's because it's similar to the Land Before Time soundtrack

This is a small action, for a niche audience, benefitting one specific fundraiser—but that's part of the point. Supporting larger efforts is important, *and* bringing their energy into the spaces/communities we're already in is also important. (/end) www.instagram.com/p/C79mGGTuxm...

Everyone is welcome, but we’re going to focus on BTS, both because we are right in the middle of #Festa 2024 and because there are a lot of ARMYs who care about what’s happening in Palestine. (1/x)

One of the locals speaking out against a Black-owned wellness sanctuary on the North Shore objects because “it’s zoned rural residential.” It’s not that he’s racist! It’s just that zoning laws prohibit “urban” people from living there, see?

This is totally what I would do too. I'd be afraid to knock on their door and since their mailbox is by the door I'd also feel weird about that. I'd probably send a postcard rather than try to pin a note to the flag lol
