okay, I’m crying #FreePalestine
.@PENamerica announced today that they have cancelled this year’s World Voices Festival that was scheduled to be held May 8 - 11 in New York City and May 8 - 18 in Los Angeles. The move came after dozens of authors withdrew from PEN America events in an unprecedented act of…
🚨Calling UK writers, illustrators, and translators! Join the May 2 EGM vote we’re bringing to @thesocietyofauthors, on fossil fuels divestment and the genocide in Gaza! More in comments ⬇️ and in our bio - it’s time to act collectively to make our industry take a stance 🌏🍉

The crowd swells for free Palestine in Princeton !
cornell police clearly unprepared for the mass & continuous support for the encampment finally announced around 9pm that there will be no arrests tonight, adding, however, that everyone in the quad including the majority who were outside the camp were “arrest-able.” 🇵🇸
So many reasons I feel strongly about this. But setting moral and political specifics aside and just focussing on the question of what issues are and are not within the remit of @Soc_of_Authors I am grateful for this clarification of the facts from @yazzarf and Sarah Bernstein:

We did it!🎉 Thanks to everyone who made Voices of Resilience such a special evening ❤️ We’re totalling everything up but it looks like over £3000 from tickets and book sales raised for 🇵🇸 aid charities in just one evening! Amazing work everybody 👏
All of you who called this generation ‘snowflakes’: look, a blizzard’s forming. #FreePalestine

PEN is an international organisation with many chapters, of which PEN America is just one. Each chapter has to sign up to the principles of the PEN charter. Within that limit, members decide policy. A change in administration of one PEN club is by no means the ‘end of PEN’
"Does it really make sense to jettison such an entity without first thinking through what its absence would mean, what a world without PEN, without a defense of expression, whatever form it might take, would actually look like?" (10/10)
@kamilashamsie @fossilfreebooks YAASSSSS! Well done. I hope you're seeing the peace camps that are starting in Edinburgh and Warwick this morning ...
At least 70 authors have now dropped out of @PENamerica events in an unprecedented act of solidarity with Palestinian writers. Today we are announcing an alternative event to mark this collective action, to hear from these authors and from writers from Gaza. Join us at Judson…

yep, just imagine

I hope @PENamerica has something principled to say about this. I was proud to be a juror for last year's PEN/Jean Stein Award. But the empty statements from @PENamerica are a disservice to the remarkable Jean Stein. She was never afraid to say the word Palestine.
I always suspected there was an internal directive not to say "Palestine," because it was so strange that the paper only ever says "Palestinians." Turns out there is one!
