So many people who talk about the male gaze have never read two of the most seminal works on the matter: Berger's Ways of Seeing, and Laura Mulvey's "Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema"

This weekends column on a Mayo word, a Mayo writer, and the limits of symbolic solidarity. "The question is not whether individual Israelis should be able to read Sally Rooney. It is whether any cultural transaction that gives oxygen to the appearance of normality is morally defensible while the state continues to annihilate Palestinian life."

It��s so fucking crazy that everyone literally has l0ng c0v1d and we’re just supposed to pretend that chronic fatigue and memory loss and cancer and strokes and heart attacks are just part of being in your 30s like girl

[samar ★*. @samarisreading]

every time an author disappoints me when it comes to speaking up about the genocide in Gaza & not normalizing the israeli occupation of Palestine i remind myself sally rooney exists & having a conscience as a well known best selling author isn't impossible

[BDS movement @BDSmovement]

At a conference in Ireland in support of the Palestinian-led BDS movement, author Sally Rooney spoke out against the complicity of the EU and the Irish government in Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in Gaza — and urged people of conscience to take strategic, moral and collective action.

Really loved this piece's candid take on class divisions among writers and, more specifically, how they shape one's literary legitimacy. There is the survival work of the working class, and the inherited capital that finances the lives of the upper class. https://t.co/HwbPgVv23h

most of the books were found in the rubbles, he took them and cleaned them. he built the first library in Gaza since the genocide and organized all the books he found in the shelves. he also installed a projector in the library to make learning easier- this is beyond beautiful 😭

Incredible. Iran launches a missile in remembrance and in honor of Aaron Bushnell. Yesterday they did the same in revenge for Rachel Corrie. Iran is the only government to honor these American heroes, whose deaths have been ignored by US political and media Epstein class.

There are many reasons to resist AI (e.g. environmental harm, the power it gives to states/corporations, intellectual theft), but perhaps the biggest one for me is that, despite it all, I still believe that the human intellect is miraculous, irreplicable, & worth fighting for.

[Aimun @bluemagicboxes]

maybe i am delirious after 30 days of fasting, but i am sitting in my room sobbing about how the land gives back to the people who love it and nurture it, how it reassures them of their oneness, how it cradles them after years of suffering with them. I AM SOBBING AT THIS.
