yesterday, I resigned from my role as EIC of Palette Poetry due to censorship, neutrality, & painful conversations around the occupation of Palestine. I'm sad to leave this way, but I can't work for a company that frames genocide as complicated.

“We are Jewish writers, artists, and activists who wish to disavow the widespread narrative that any criticism of Israel is inherently antisemitic.” New: an open letter.

@yumangwi nahh you do what i do only with greater and fuller conviction. which makes me a lil crazy. but it’s cool, nothing at all to be contrite about

[EDDA @EDDAjournal]

@yumangwi It’s really astounding stuff

[EDDA @EDDAjournal]

Cordelia (web manager)’s laptop is out of order, so even as we work through the pile we we cannot update our response-times. Again, we’re incredibly sorry. Please disregard the “1.5666 days” listed on our website, as our current wait is gonna run quite a bit longer

[EDDA @EDDAjournal]

We are so incredibly sorry for all the delays. our submission system filters rejected responses into a separate file, so if you replied to our invitation to submit again to the same email thread, your submission may have gotten lost. Please feel free to resubmit at your leisure!

[EDDA @EDDAjournal]

…not as a reply to the first message, but as a separate email. Again, we are so incredibly sorry for the confusion, and we thank you for your patience as we attempt to work out the kinks

[EDDA @EDDAjournal]

we sure are! can’t wait for you all to read his work

[faiz. @fa1zwrites]

GUYS THIS IS LATE BECAUSE I WAS DUMB AND COULDN’T REALISE I COULD POST IT ANYWAYS @EDDAjournal WILL BE PUBLISHING ME AND I AM!!SO EXCITED!

[EDDA @EDDAjournal]

We’re so honored to be featuring her work! Can’t wait for all of you to read it

[EDDA @EDDAjournal]

@DublinWriter appreciate it :) you too!

[EDDA @EDDAjournal]

it’s been so much fun reading your submissions for the first issue! truly honoured by some of the things you all have sent our way. thus far issue 1 is about 10% full… as always we are telling on our own response time & acceptance rates at https://t.co/2WfkkCFJst

[EDDA @EDDAjournal]

@DublinWriter we’re not affiliated with that twitter account, nor that email so that must be the trouble! our email is at the bottom of https://t.co/WlzxZ5lpf7. sorry for the mix up, hope you’re able to get in touch with those people

[EDDA @EDDAjournal]

@DublinWriter ah, sorry, that’s not our email! we’ve only ever been at https://t.co/KJlrySOnbU. i would just re-contact whomever you sent it to; sorry for the mix-up

[EDDA @EDDAjournal]

@DublinWriter ah! double check https://t.co/WlzxZ5lpf7 and ensure that it arrived at the right email; otherwise you might want to resend it. we do not send separate acknowledgements but we have never taken more than four days for a decision thus far

[EDDA @EDDAjournal]

@DublinWriter not being a nuisance at all! yes, we’ve sent a decision to everyone who submitted their work before 48 hours ago

[EDDA @EDDAjournal]

@DublinWriter sorry, we don't quite follow: about what in particular?

[EDDA @EDDAjournal]

anyway, this is all to say: us-americans do not actually merit roles as arbiters of what is idiomatic in english and what is not

[EDDA @EDDAjournal]

one of of our favourite things about the english language is that there is nobody to whom it belongs and nobody with the institutional power to set dicta; more english speakers live on the indian subcontinent than in the usa

[EDDA @EDDAjournal]

was thinking about this because we got a piece that referred to someone as speaking 'broken english'. really doesn't seem like an okay, even a conceptually sound thing to say. and if it were, we'd want your works to break english ourselves!

[EDDA @EDDAjournal]

we could not be more impressed with the quality of the work people have sent us. thank you all for having believed in our mission, and for have given us the chance to put it to the test with you. keep on submitting, the first issue is looking like it will be a truly great one :)
