Author of the novel Dryland from @Tin_House and @CipherPress (UK). Erstwhile treble-jammer for Erase Errata. BDS for justice in Palestine!

.@jaketapper, your reporting on Rashida Tlaib’s Nakba 75 event was racist and anti-Palestinian. As Jews who believe in human rights and justice, we demand you do better.

@jesshopp @jawnita I also really loved the way it MOVES—like such narrative intricacy, combo of surprising and organic in the best way.

@jesshopp Jacqueline Humbert & David Rosenboom’s Daytime Viewing—sorta Robert Ashley/Blue Gene Tyranny reminiscent, a commentary on daytime soaps! From 1980, just reissued on Unseen Worlds.

Spring has sprung! Let’s celebrate with a book! Or two? Oh, who are we kidding, let’s just go in and see which books whisper our name. These whispered ours this month, and we hope you’ll like them too! 📚 ❤️ 🌸

Love when great writers write about great writers, yeah!!

Would be buoyed this morning to hear of anyone successfully completing a novel written paragraph by disconnected paragraph. Do the fragments eventually expand, or simply join up?

[Sara Jaffe @allhooknochorus]

@chelseyhotel Ugh having a very hard time figuring out whether I can get up to seattle for a day or not, wish I could just teleport up for some hellos and book fair hangs!

PDX-specific post: the 7-year-old is now randomly telling us to “Slow the flock down.”

[Sara Jaffe @allhooknochorus]

actually love “differences between the generations” discourse, makes me feel so superior and so dumb at the same time

[Jewish Voice for Peace @jvplive]

Many are blaming the new Israeli government as the cause of the unimaginable violence Palestinians are facing in Huwara and Nablus. But the origin of these atrocities is not the Israeli government. The root cause is Zionism, which always called for removal of Palestinians 🧵

@shrimpskimpi Locksmiths still have some of the best signage around so I say pretty definitively yes.

Had this dream where I found some writing I did as a teen and was like “wow, my writing was so much less self-conscious then, but I was so much more self-conscious as a person—and now, the opposite is true.” Was my dream-self on to something…

@jamiattenberg Minor Detail by Adania Shibli. Love a short novel!

You know when there's a band that you know is going to be your new fave as soon as you finally get around to getting their records? Happening rn, thank you @HorseLords.

[Sara Jaffe @allhooknochorus]

Can someone pls clarify the ethics of we told the kid he has an allowance but we forget to give it to him for months at a time, and he forgets to ask?

[Sara Jaffe @allhooknochorus]

@Grimisham Have you heard Patrick Doyle’s solo project Boys Forever? Also so good.

[Sara Jaffe @allhooknochorus]

@g_e_howard We used to get medicinal bottles of Coca Cola syrup at the pharmacy and serve it over ice for upset stomach, very 1907!

[Sara Jaffe @allhooknochorus]

@chelseyhotel When I was commuting to Eugene I subjected myself to listening to the audiobook, the wasted, torturous hours...

[Sara Jaffe @allhooknochorus]

@madelineffitch1 Noah calls all such slang “teenage language”

[Sara Jaffe @allhooknochorus]

@comeawaywithEMD I have long wondered how to think about this band. There was something that felt very accessible-yet-forbidden about their “transgressive” content as a teen, but no idea how to think about the music.
