Eat Your Mind is out in paperback today! Cheaper, with fewer typos, & with a cover blurb from my fave review, by Jessica Ferri in the LA Times https://t.co/UCLg7rKhkZ
Ziad's "Gaza Diary" is the best war reporting I see each day, the nitty gritty of survival written by a civilian under seige. Thank you @guardian for publishing it: https://t.co/QksgHdSkF3
Happy birthday to Bootsy Collins, born on this day in 1951 in Cincinnati, Ohio. Here he is sharing his formula for funk on the BBC series “Rockschool” in the 1980s.
@dan_sinykin digs into Toni Morrison's fiction for insights into her trajectory into and out of "big publishing." A fascinating piece about one of America's greatest editors and writers. https://t.co/zaN0xoj9ZR
Bo Huston was a sometimes unpopular curmudgeon at BAR. His dislike for "good gay" marriage mimicking straights earned the ire of BAR's good gay readers. At least they paid him—writers need money and support. Nominate your fave for The Bo Huston Prize 2024. https://t.co/dzpeC5z5Mc
Israel/Palestine—we are remembering that Fred Moten has actively created a common ground of writing that REFUSES the binary of Palestine v. Jews. Thank you Fred Moten, and thank you everyone else on all sides who refuse this binary.
"Just give us...all available footage of prime years Alex Ferguson where he seems to be bathed in a vengeful cold white light, like a 17th century witch-finding puritanical priest being asked questions about haircuts by sullen men with dictaphones." wtf Barney Ronay?
This is the urgent message for any American—"the genocidal policies of the Israel government would only be possible with US support." This is true of their apartheid system, too. It is a product, of US economy, money, military, and support. Blood on our hands.
Honestly I'm feeling speechless about Gaza. I don't know if I have anything useful to say, except to repeat that the genocidal policies of the Israeli government would only be possible with US support. Billions and billions and billions of dollars of military aid, for decades.
