If you have the means, pls do consider matching my $15 donation or give what you can to Omar and Ibrahim's library fund for Gaza. Sometimes giving is in the simple act of RTing (or whatever it's called here). Sharing is caring too!

4 years of work, writing, research & collaboration; a lifetime of thinking. ‘The Book of Mysteries: Wild Time and The Ritual Year’ final edits went off to @pushkinpress.com on Friday - feels like a birth and a death all at the same time! Which, honestly, is very apt.

The
@LemkinInstitute
is calling on every leader in the world to step in immediately with measures that ensure food and water gets into Gaza right now.
No more discussions, meetings, reports, sessions, summits.
GET FOOD AND WATER INTO GAZA NOW.
IF YOU HAVE THE POWER, YOU MUST USE IT.
Wow—the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention (named after Raphael Lemkin, a Holocaust survivor who coined the term genocide) says plainly:
"No more discussions, meetings, reports, sessions, summits…IF YOU HAVE THE POWER, YOU MUST USE IT."
"HISTORY WILL DETERMINE THE RECTITUDE OF YOUR ACTIONS."

How Cloud Atlas Is Shaping a Generation of Authors - Reactor
Tracking the influence of David Mitchell's groundbreaking novel over the last two decades.
With a flood of new books seemingly drawing inspiration from David Mitchell's "Cloud Atlas," @charliejane.bsky.social asks if this incredibly influential novel has created a subgenre all on its own?

Has "Cloud Atlas" Become a Genre?
Thanks for reading my newsletter! If you wanna consume even more of my words, I have a novel coming out in August. It’s called Lessons in Magic and Disaster,...
Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell casts a huge shadow over the book world. I'm seeing a flood of books that borrow its genre-hopping, generation-spanning format.
So in my latest newsletter, I wonder: is Cloud Atlas becoming a bit of a genre on its own?

Judith Butler · This Is Wrong: Executive Order 14168
When diversity, equity and inclusion become ‘threats’ to the order of society, progressive politics in general is...
“Any effective response to the anti-gender movement will entail a critique of the new forms of authoritarianism and the passions they exploit.”
Judith Butler shows us how anti-gender rhetoric fuels current authoritarianism by producing social fears/anxieties. We must disrupt the emotional politics.
