If you haven't decided on your Halloween reading yet, may I suggest 'Our Cut of Salt' by @deenahlm 🖤
Such an original take on the haunted house book. Literary, poetic, and completely heartbreaking 💔

Clearing his name after he’s no longer here to see it.
Rest in peace, Professor Jason Arday. You deserved your flowers while you were still, here. #writing #WritingCommmunity

The CEO of the biggest drone company in Israel says that his objective is to recreate Ender's Game, the book where the main character thinks he's playing a video game but actually commits genocide

Incase you missed it yesterday, an Israeli marketing firm used website ads to distribute spyware created by Israeli developer Candiru and all it took for it to infect people’s phone was visiting a website with the infected ads on it and then allowing the ad to load on the page.
There are potentially hundreds of millions of people with Israeli spyware on their phones right now and they have no clue.

This attempt to make things more fantastical actually makes them less so. The beautiful, solemn absurdity of a lion—the great Lion, but a lion nonetheless—quietly & beautifully singing a world out of darkness is far more strange & magical than this technocosmic overcompensation.

Yesterday, I watched Naza.
I did not go to learn what had happened in Gaza. I am from there. I am one of the victims of this war, one of its witnesses, and one of those who have paid a price that will not end when the war does.
I did not need a film to tell me how entire neighborhoods were wiped away, how residential buildings were bombed with the people still inside them, or how families were forced to leave their homes without knowing where they were supposed to go.
Nor did I need anyone to tell me about the famine. I lived through it twice, with all its humiliations, down to the smallest detail. Or about the starving people who were killed while trying to reach what were so absurdly called “food distribution centers.”
I know all of this.
I was there.

I was in 3rd grade with unfettered access to internet, switching between this video and “lesbians kissing” google searches

The Israeli government is so desperate to try to prevent people from watching Naza that they had to create a propoganda film using the same name and a duplicitous url to confuse people. It reeks of desperation.

rape an unconcious woman behind a dumpster? you have a bright future.
gang rape a woman with your teammates? you'll still get drafted to the NHL.
drug & rape a student with your frat bros? just write an essay.
say 'free palestine'? expelled & charged with acts of terrorism.

This argument doesn’t work. Romani people were also targeted in the Final Solution and a primary target alongside Jews for the Holocaust. There has been no Romanistan promised to Romani people. We don’t want it, we do not need it. It’s about colonialism and nationalism not grief
Abdul El-Sayed on Israel-Palestine:
I understand on both sides of this debate, we're also dealing with a lot of trauma. A lot of trauma.
I understand that for a lot of Jewish Americans, there's the trauma of the Holocaust and the need to have a refuge. I understand that.
And I also understand that for a lot of Palestinian Americans and Palestinians everywhere, there's the trauma of the Nakba.
We've got to be able to create the circumstances within which both of these deeply traumatized people can have a conversation built on principle. But to me, the answer has to be principle. It has to be.
