@aziz0nomics It’s intellectually unserious to suggest Israel’s campaign of bombing Gaza until it is entirely flattened and killing tens of thousands of innocent people is actually an opportunity to help Palestinians improve their economy.

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

These Palestinian children, forcibly displaced to Khan Younis in southern Gaza, sent a video message to their father who is in north Gaza.

BREAKING: 400 American Jews mark Netanyahu's arrival by refusing to leave Congress until our government listens to the will of the people and STOPS ARMING ISRAEL!

Years ago someone broke in, took stuff, but worse: wrecked the door/frame. David fixed it. Wrote story partly about break-in, @malahatreview published! The day the issue arrived, someone tried to break in again, same spot, but was foiled by a piece of solid oak bracing the frame.

Always wanted to have a story in @EVENTmags, ever since attending the Writing Studio in Banff with Liz Bachinsky about a hundred years ago :)

[EVENT Poetry & Prose @EVENTmags]

@BenjaminLof87's short story, "Famished," appears in EVENT 51/3. "They say the shock from hot to cold is good for the heart and soul... like the workings of the Holy Spirit."

[Lauren Groff @legroff]

If I have to read one more unbearably stupid and intellectually lazy piece about wokeness or cancel culture in our year 2023, when abortion is being denied to pregnant people, turning them into incubators of the state—into objects!—I’m going to pop with rage.

[Ben Lof @BenjaminLof87]

Delighted to have a story about housecleaners and Mimico in the excellent new @RiddleFence!

@ejessicajohnson @thewalrus Best wishes for your next moves, Jessica! You're definitely leaving on a high with the Winter issue. I'm so grateful for your warm encouragement, and your care for getting at the throughline/heart of a story.

[Ben Lof @BenjaminLof87]

Joyful: to be reading a new Lynn Coady story, “The Money.” So sharp, endearing, funny. 🌈

[Heather McPherson @HMcPhersonNDP]

@2closetocall Pierre literally had embedded incel tags in his social media posts. He refuses to shut down the pro-life members of his caucus. He voted against childcare, dental care, and a thousand other supports that disproportionately benefit women…and that’s just a start.
