I haven’t been able to stop thinking about what Gustavo Petro said recently: “What we see in Gaza is the rehearsal of the future”
I can’t help feeling that what’s happening in Gaza is the beginning of the end for all of us. If we can have a genocide live-streamed during the Super Bowl and say nothing, theres no challenge in the coming years that we won’t fail.

Every time this question is asked there seems to be a terrible lack of Shirley Jackson in relation to how bloody good she was at them. The Bell Jar and F451 are bangers, yes, but she nails it every. Single. Time.
that Millie Bobby Brown book has me thinking of some of the best opening lines. you know what I think is a contender for number one, all time best? “It was a pleasure to burn.” from Fahrenheit 451. what are some of your faves?

Once, there was a little cat called Sasha, who lived with a young, melancholy princess in the Nikolayevsky dvorets in St Petersburg. Sasha had the old Siberian skill of seeing ghosts & she stalked the cold palace corridors protecting her mistress from wraiths & shadows & doubles.

This essay about Israel’s attacks on Lebanon and Palestine and the way we talk about—the way we /let/ people & institutions—narrate their crimes versus the ways that the Lebanese and Palestinians narrate themselves is extraordinary. I could barely decide what to screenshot
Hey if you’ve been to any degree disgusted by early 2000s nostalgia taking the form of virulent anti-Arab racism in headlines & opinion pieces I highly recommend reading this magnificent piece of writing by Mary Turfah instead.

I recently found out that people living with ADHD do not miss people.
For them, it is "out of sight, out of mind" .

Guys, Shein cut ties with Israeli influencers, removed the link to purchase Palestinian flags and blocked free deliveries to Israel. You know how evil you have to be as a country for SHEIN to cut ties with you 💀💀💀

The entirety of Alan Garner’s The Owl Service, but especially: “She wants to be flowers but you make her owls,” which is said twice, followed once with the caution, “You must not blame her, then, if she goes hunting,” & once with the plaint, “Why do we destroy ourselves?”
Tell me a line in a book that changed how you see the world or shifted your understanding of how language can be used or just haunts you for reasons you don’t quite understand and maybe never will. A line that just pops into your mind unbidden, like some weird internal narration.
