    palestinians are reminding us that decolonization is not abstract. it is material. it is violent. it is not popular, it will be resisted and debated by the entire structures of the monstrous colonial world. and it is the only way forward, and it is the only path of life.

    every single mundane thing we do to live ought to be a reminder that those same daily activities have been systematically, brutally stolen from palestinians. carry that with you every moment for the rest of your life. and remember how many found and find ways to do them anyway

    settlers live lives of death. built on death. death filling their mouths and lungs. producing and reproducing death. it is all they know and all they can think and all they will ever taste.

    poets are like “ars poetica in a double sestina ending in a triple sonnet crown composed of triptychs and when you read it with the rest of my poems it becomes one giant haibun winged with my mother’s eyeliner that morning she wept me into a ghazal”

    “from the river to the sea” is a speculative act of imagining that holds a wide range of liberatory possibilities/promises within it, and also sounds cool as hell and feels wonderful to scream

    hard not to take this not as a failure of “international law” but as its logical function

    cultural workers: we can use this and other principled commitments to pressure our organizations and institutions into joining. do they want to work with writers? then listen to what we’re saying, get in line and commit to boycott.

    i wrote something about writing, “craft”, and what i think palestine requires of those who write in english from the imperial core in this hour of genocide. i hope that it might be useful

    Fargo Tbakhi (@YouKnowFargo) writes with a reflective essay on the role and duty of writing amidst a genocide. How do hegemonic priorities dictate style, content, and status? What can words do for Gaza, when words are also the vehicle of cruel ideology? proteanmag.com/2023/12/08/not…

    i can’t do anything without knowing that it has been deprived, in so many intersecting ways, from palestinians across palestine. let that knowledge galvanize you towards doing everything you can to insist on our right to life. everything in your power. fight the fuck back
