Hopefully this is the first part of a bigger project. Re-re-Tweeting to pin.

Ingrid Rojas Contreras (@ingrid_rojas_c) describes @LReford’s "essay about a ravaging eating disorder" as "unlike any essay on the subject I’ve read. Its sentences and connections are surprising, and its lyric experimentation flawless.” @CraftLiterary

Urgent Appeal:
My friend and Al Jazeera cameraman, Fadi Al-Wahidi, has suffered a severe decline in health after being shot by an Israeli sniper while clearly identified as press.
We are trapped in northern Gaza under siege.
Without immediate medical treatment abroad, his life is in grave danger.
I urge all relevant organizations to assist in facilitating his urgent transfer for treatment. Your support could save his life.

That Starmer was ever a human rights lawyer is now deeply disturbing

I wrote a list of the images from the last year I won't ever be able to get out of my head & there are so many of them & every fucker who is profiting from this & every politician talking in circles while arming Israel has seen them too & I hope they never fucking sleep again

@annie_raab Is a silk robe the secret to productivity, or can I become an ethereal changeling with fingers of ink in my cotton Ikea marimekko robe?

If you are in a position where you can teach & educate, where you can push an institution to divest from weapons manufacturing, where you have a voice, and you are silent, then you are complicit :)

Anti-Zionism is now a protected belief in Britain. Academics, your career is legally safe: you silence has no more excuses

Not been on Twitter much as I attempt to titrate my exposure to the horrors, so truly only just saw this.

Poem in @rustandmoth today. This one is a real baby. A hard-to-give-away poem. But hey, it got published while I truly am still 33.
