BREAKING: Bay Area residents have taken over the Israeli Consulate in San Francisco to condemn the ongoing genocide in Palestine, responding to the international call for solidarity from Gaza.

They did not mean to kill the children. They meant to. Too many kids got in the way of precisely imprecise one-ton bombs dropped a thousand and one times over the children’s nights. —@FadyJoudah

From UC Berkeley’s encampment. 🍓🍓🍓

“not feeling welcome on campus at elite university” vs the bodies of children executed with their hands tied behind their backs being carried around in bulldozers feels like a very insane conversation to be having. i won’t be having it

“Are the protests peaceful?” Is the GOVERNMENT peaceful? Are the POLICE peaceful? Is GENOCIDE peaceful? Seriously what are y’all talking about 😐

Gaza Solidarity Encampment starting UC Berkeley right now!

it’s also my birthday! on my jesus year! I’m visibly trans! they/she are reborn!

BREAKING: @PENAmerica’s staff union has gone public about the organization’s attempts to suppress the “political activity” of its workers—a striking blow to (what is left of) the org’s reputation for protecting free speech. Read our statement on the state of the org below:

Richard Serra (1938—2024) memory eternal—— * heart-broken, / here are a couple sections of a poem I wrote (ljke 20 years ago) dedicated to his work—

Sentimentality, the parading of excessive & spurious emotion, is the mark of dishonesty. The wet eyes of the sentimentalist betray aversion to experience, fear of life, an arid heart; & it is always, therefore, the signal of secret & violent inhumanity—of cruelty — James Baldwin

revision be like—)))

Thinking about Robert Glück writing “Gender is the extent we go to in order to be loved,” at 3am lol

What are y’all’s favorite animal poems?

the guernica masthead continues to shrink. they have one reader left, not a single poetry, fiction, or copy editor. it’s sad to see a literary institution fall apart but it’s more sad (and shameful) to see a magazine publish hate.

My fiction team collectively and unanimously resigned from Guernica today. I'm proud of them, and the work we did over the last two years - six editors and nine readers, volunteering and collaborating with great writers to publish weird, beautiful stories. I'll miss it.
