dear palestinian cinema admirers, i recently discovered a google spreadsheet compiling the list of palestinian cinema index on letterboxd. The spreadsheet has downloadable links to over 700 docs and films.

Kindly, retweet and spread the word!

Fyi she's not on Twitter anymore but Isabel Pabán Freed just dropped an essay on her site that settles both art fungibility discourse and Sally Rooney Marxism discourse for good:

Kanafani as sculptor is something we are still deprived of seeing much documentation of, but the occasional emergence of things like this leads me to hope there is more somewhere. still wishing we could see something like this in the future.

Harvard University, to their eternal glory, has provided online recordings of hundreds of authors who have graced their stages over the past century.

We are talking Siegfried Sassoon (!), Dylan Thomas, W.H. Auden, E.M. Forster, and more.

Dive in!

not to be performative but i'm always at a loss when people describe "tumblr feminism" as "have sex and dress sexy" when like, me and everyone i know was being handed reading lists from the combahee river collective and pdfs of materialist feminist critique or saidiya hartman...

fuck this shit come organize and (re)act in a way that moves people to a self-determined and stable life. it’s the large dinner table party on 📸 if you want to press buttons that alter life.

[LikeTheStatue @k8bushofficial]

this is what passes as progressive in a country where homeless people are completely dehumanized. fuck this shit

[sk @srhkts]

i do believe our govt should provide basic needs for all and “solutions” to a manufactured dispossession and discarding of the underclass but i also believe we can and should provide “solutions” (money) ourselves. from observation, we’re faster and better.

[sk @srhkts]

you can! come join in supporting luis and linda, our (formerly!) unhoused neighbors and beloved friends. orient and train your vision, automate your action.

if the worst part of your day is having to be near someone experiencing extreme poverty, you should hand them your wallet and then go home and hit yourself in the head with a sledgehammer

[sk @srhkts]

so i didn’t think this is how i would come out of lurking into community but hi i help run a mutual aid group that’s focused on direct (re)action where we…hand over our wallets and build relationships with our neighbors! (at) largedinnertableparty 📸

imagine encountering the absolute floor of social abandonment—on a train w someone so failed by society—& deciding the central tragedy is how unsettling it was for you—when proximity to extreme deprivation registers primarily as personal affront—youre the anti-social one, love :)

[Mrs Too Damn Media Literate @bobo_circus]

it's because they understand homelessness as a weapon of the capitalist class & are savvy enough to recognize that the moment you start framing the homeless as disturbances and pests you are giving your buy-in to dispose of them. i'm sorry you haven't gotten there yet

[Malcolm Harris @BigMeanInternet]

Don't think you have to be some blasé urban sophisticate to recognize that a person relegated by social circumstances to pissing in public is having something done to them, more than they are doing something to other people.

[James🔻 @GoodVibePolitik]

Homelessness should make you uncomfortable, not because someone you don’t know is making you uncomfortable on a train for 20 minutes, but because we exist in a society that is so willing to let people suffer without any support system day after day until they die.

[helmet girl @sbodrojan]

idk I think it is imperative to treat your relative discomfort w strangers pissing in public as basically irrelevant compared to the bloodthirsty indignities forced on the unhoused and disenfranchised in America.

[Beatrice Adler-Bolton @realLandsEnd]

A non-carceral reading doesn’t romanticize suffering or deny that seeing distress can be unsettling. It refuses to treat that discomfort as central. It asks questions: what might this person need? Why are basic bodily needs met in public? How to respond w/ provision not removal?
