We will keep protesting as if our lives depend on it — because they do.

Our lives, the lives of our parents, our siblings, our children, our communities, and our not-yet-born. All of our lives are in the balance.

For those of us who are writers and readers, I noticed that a lot of folks aren't familiar with the rich canon of Palestinian literature and don't know where to begin reading. In response to this, down below is a thread of novels, non-fiction, and poetry about Palestine (🧵):

“The longer I live, the more deeply I learn that love — whether we call it friendship or family or romance — is the work of mirroring and magnifying each other’s light.”

~James Baldwin

A 6-year-old Palestinian child was stabbed to death by his landlord in Chicago today, as the landlord shouted “you Muslims must die.” Every journalist who has dehumanized Palestinians this week, who had spread unverified stories about us… this child’s blood is on your hands.

“We live in perpetual anticipation of a tragic ending.

Now I write, because writing is a lifeline, and a temporary escape from a reality that has become unfathomably darker in the last few days.”

i have no interest in qualifying everything i say about israel with “also hamas is bad too.” reminds me of americans demanding muslims to apologize for “islamic terror” after 9/11. the implications are just racism and i’m not entertaining it while israel commits genocide.

Very hard being a Palestinian anywhere right now, let alone in the West in liberal academic spaces where the silence of some is deafening and the statements of others are devastating.

@fuckyouiquit We do a flex 4. Folks pick which days and times (with their cluster teams). Some teams opt for weekly zoom huddles to make asynchronous work smoothly, and we block out 3rd Mondays for zoom check-ins (work and health related). It means our teams are diverse, healthy, and happy. ✊🏼

Hotels & @Airbnb flats in Ankara are cancelling the confirmed reservations after full payment when realizing that they are booked for #Syria n families running away from the other #earthquake in southern #Turkey. TWO cancelled my booking TODAY as soon as they saw my family.

Today, at @Walmart store #256, my student, a Black woman, was racially profiled by a White employee. After finishing up at self-checkout, the employee approached my student, accused her of not paying for all of her items, and demanded to see her receipt. (1/6)
