Oooo i have been feeling similarly to Aurielle for some time, but this tweet in particular really resonated. I’ll be sitting with this one for a bit.

Maybe it’s burnout. Maybe it’s seasonal affective disorder. Or maybe it’s day 70 of watching a genocide.

We can notice "peaceful" doing its needful work of disciplining and limiting the terms of struggle. Whose peace is being preserved? Notice that it is the state & university that are still threatening violence if their terms are not met.
.@Penn gets it right. Outshines the others in league. (Also all of penn’s outdoor campus is mostly public property due to locust walk being a public street.)

Keep AOC & the fraud squad, Jamaal Bowman & the rest of these politicians out of the encampments. The last thing that’s needed is counterinsurgency which serves only to de-radicalize movement work.
Father shows up for his daughter protesting against genocide at USC in Los Angeles 🇵🇸 “I imagine being a father in Palestine.. to see my kid be assassinated by Israel.”
have fun winning your state department book award i guess
As of this morning 29 writers & translators nominated for PEN Awards have withdrawn - including 9 of 10 fellow Jein/Stein nominees, who asked to no longer be considered for PEN’s most lucrative prize. We sent a letter to leadership today explaining why: lithub.com/the-pen-awards…
I’ve withdrawn my book from consideration for the PEN/Voelcker, in solidarity w/ the people of Gaza & all who oppose the genocidal tactics being used against them. The slowness of @PENamerica leadership to do so has sadly compromised the integrity of the awards & organization.
@CAMONGHNE I am absolutely reeling at their accusation of “intellectual conformity” in the face of 30,000 Palestinian deaths. In awe and admiration of you all. ❤️
Hi Jenny, Thx for the kind words. I do know about the $100K. This # feels insignificant in comparison to your CEO's $500K salary and PEN America's $43 million in assets. The prize you longlisted me for is a $75K. Surely, any Palestinian writer could use this money more than I.
@CAMONGHNE I love your work. I hope someday you will find PEN’s honors in alignment with your passions and your advocacy. I wanted to ask if you knew PEN has called for a cease fire, and that we have donated $100,000 to help Palestinian writers in Gaza. We must stand by all writers.

I understand that I have the privilege of never needing to submit to PoFo again if I don’t want to but this protest has made it clear that non-POC (in particular) participate in protest as an opportunity to be saved from criticism not an opportunity to participate in struggle
Oooo i have been feeling similarly to Aurielle for some time, but this tweet in particular really resonated. I’ll be sitting with this one for a bit.
What of building? What of tending the garden of a new world? Possibility making? Some of us must set fires, yes. But some of us must tend to the burns, learn to suture wounds, or build aquifers. these are slower skills. Necessary skills.
Look forward to keeping up with Aurielle on the medium! ⏬️
!!!
I used to believe that the State’s primary language was violence. I now think that the State speaks dysregulation, and violence is merely a dialect of that. Bc what could solidarity, world building, or liberation possibly be to a mind dysregulated? I don’t think we can know.
@YesAurielle I really am. Have been suffering anxiety attacks and brain fogs.
I’m still thinking about things @YesAurielle said during ‘Disability Justice: From Free Palestine to Stop Cop City’ ‘There’s many ways to get in the way’ about disabled organizing And ‘We use our inability to walk as a subversion tactic’
