Targeting aid workers is a war crime. Targeting journalists is a war crime. Targeting hospitals is a war crime. @POTUS must stop enabling war crimes, end the United States' complicity in genocide, and facilitate a lasting ceasefire now.

I love teaching at CUNY because my students are majority Black & brown, first gen, they work, lots of parents, folks with immigration issues. That makes their protest EXTRA brave. It also means community should step up and support them. So make it a point to go up there …
Day 2 of the CUNY encampment we brought out the family @NickOcchiuto ❤️🇵🇸
Really excited to be guest editing this for one of y favorite literary journals. As someone who grew up chomping on sci-fi and speculative fiction and continues to consume it to this day, as well as to produce it myself, I would be honored to receive your submissions!
Submissions are now open for the Futurities Issue, guest-edited by @barrakstar + co-edited by Aram Kavoossi. We issue this call in a catastrophic present, with faith in our ability to transform and imagine our futures. Selected contributors are paid! mizna.org/literary/call-…
Because my cousin was at Columbine, every class I taught got a version of Homeland Security’s Active Shooter training. I love seeing these kids use it to stand for their beliefs. WTF did they think would happen when we forced kids to learn tactical survival skills??
Yoooooo. The longer video from cal poly students is extraordinary. These kids arent playing around!!!
BREAKING: NYU students have begun their Gaza Solidarity Encampment
Most of the people posting about Columbia have not stepped foot on campus and have no idea what is going on. As I said, the demonstrations I saw last week were comprised of students of all faiths, and backgrounds. Columbia escalated this situation by calling in armed police.
the reason Koreans don't need 3rd spaces is because there is already a coffee shop optimized around beauty & slowness on every other block. this is prevalent across all of Asia. i'm concluding that it's the culture that creates this, not the other way around. it we want more of…
If you support how these folks voted, I can’t emphasize enough how important it is to let them know. They will be under relentless pressure and attack. It is important to show support - on the inside, it can often feel like there isn’t. Call, write, post. It makes a difference.
As 100s of students were arrested for exercising their right to p/assembly in support of #Palestine, I remind @Columbia to respect academic freedoms and student’s fundamental rights. The right to p/assembly is key for people to speak out against injustices& to mobilise for #peace

they made me wear this yesterday when I took my four-year old to a dr appointment. he's been practicing reading lately, so I asked him what it said. his reply: "I don't know. Fat????"
My copies of DO THE WORK just arrived, and I’m taking a moment for gratitude. I’ve achieved several life goals since turning 40: finished my PhD, had a story appear in the Best American series, built my own life - but pubbing my first book, with this co-author, means so much 💗
