What bait is recommended to induce a @UPS driver to actually approach and engage with the door? Peanut butter? Cheese? Should I wait in the bushes?

[Jeremy Appel @JeremyAppel1025]

The cool thing about being a Postmedia columnist is you get paid to say the most ignorant things imaginable and there’s nothing anyone can do about it.

There is no event at which it is “inappropriate” to spotlight Gaza right now.

Not a book launch. Not a concert. And certainly not a political rally.

Through our taxes, we have all been made complicit in a generational horror.

It’s our duty to disrupt EVERYTHING until it stops

It seems I have again forgotten to post this:
My most recent newsletter, on some favourite reads for the year so far (my year, not necessarily the year in publishing). Featuring @premeesaurus, @bcmerchant, @WTalabi, and @_vajra. https://t.co/lkq1muiqhw

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

Correct. The “ceasefire negotiations” have always been a charade on the part of Israel and the US to buy time to continue the destruction of Gaza.

Took this @_Zeets book camping and it was absolutely excellent. Only downside is now I want to be in Venice.

We are “all in this together” until it comes to Palestinian journalists. Al Jazeera has repeatedly asked mainstream news outlets to issue statements condemning the attacks on their journalists and still it’s just utter silence. A bloody, shameful stain on our industry.

[Ambereen Dadabhoy 🪬 @DrDadabhoy]

This is the image. The cover of Arab Lit Quarterly that covers the violence in Palestine. Don’t look for resistance to genocide from academia.

It might not feel like it, but autumn is on the way...

[Mohammad Alsaafin @malsaafin]

If you say you want a ceasefire while sending the bombs that keep shredding children, you don't really want a ceasefire. That's all there is to it.

[Jairo I. Fúnez-Flores @Jairo_I_Funez]

The scenes coming out of Gaza are horrific. Meanwhile, the US is getting ready to send Israel 3.5 billion dollars so that the genocide can continue.

[Ali A Olomi @aaolomi]

we are watching the genocide and ethnic cleansing of a people live-streamed right before our eyes and not one of our political leaders have the guts to say unequivocally they will put a stop to this

“…containers full of dead bodies of inmates.”

@ShanonSinn @FolkloreThurs Nice! I'm from near Coombs so might have a chance to stop in at Cozy Corner soon.

[Devon (Human Circus Podcast) @circus_human]

I haven't been on here all that much of late and somehow missed the return of @FolkloreThurs, or did I just imagine that it had ever gone away at all?

[Folklore Thursday @FolkloreThurs]

Hello everyone! Happy #FolkloreThursday ✨

That was @WillowWinsham hosting before the break! I'm @ShanonSinn your last host today for the next hour.

Our theme today is Seas, Forests, and Skies in celebration of the new Treasury of Folklore book! (img. 520-1524 Joachim Patinir)

Israel has killed at least 157 journalists in Gaza since 7 October 2023

Intentional killing of journalists is a war crime.
