@commapress @ManchesterSU @MCRCityofLit @ctismanchester @arablit @guidancehub @ManPalestine @GMF_Palestine @ArabBritishCent @McrWritingSchl @RuthAbou Also... Enjoy writing? Like poetry? Know English (no Arabic needed)? Interested in translation and creative writing? Come join us for (short) talks and a workshop where we'll think about translation and get some ink on our hands doing some writing/translating.

What does one say about the US press conference on Gaza? As an American, I find this appalling, but not surprising. US should help rebuild Gaza, bc we supplied and continued supplying weapons for this destruction, despite knowing what was happening. But rebuild for Palestinians.

...and also, even if we start with Arabic and English, you can bring in whatever else you want. We can be radically multilingual!

This is made clear further down the thread, but you do not need to know Arabic to participate!

I hope the ceasefire can be the start of actual peace and rebuilding for the humans affected by this conflict. It's hard to know what to say. Let the bombing never start again, let people be allowed to live in dignity. Let the necessary work be done now.

I should also maybe add: get in touch and tell me what (if any) new email we should use for you :)

OK, so I'm definitely behind the times, but so annoyed to see that @Skype has gotten rid of Skype Credit! Bring it back! :)

@ATTHelp I actually tried to check with the rep I spoke with earlier that @ATT actually sells phone service, as it's increasingly unclear to me if this is part of the business model. She thought I was asking about "cell phones", understandable since it's an absurd question to have to ask.

@ATTHelp @ATT You can't talk to the @ATT "back office" who are apparently the people who have any idea of what's going on, b/c the only way to contact them is by having the phone reps chat online with them. Except my mom talked to one of them once, on 1 of her dozen calls to sort this out.
