Accurate news

Right?? 💃🫶

I haven’t been active on this site but I am excited to share this project, coming in March 2026 from @uchicagopress.bsky.social #coverreveal press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/bo...

Between the Covers with @davidnaimon.bsky.social #2 and @hanvanderhart.bsky.social's @ofpoetrypodcast.bsky.social #15!!! Yessss 👏🎉

Please note re: today's ceasefire ⤵️

If this ceasefire holds, it must mark the beginning of a new path — one where US policy shifts from fueling apartheid and genocide to supporting freedom and safety for all, starting with HR 3565, the Block the Bombs Act.

We must not let this genocide resume or anything like it happen again.

This poem is from a delicious dialogue between Persephone and Jesus in Pádraig Ó Tuama's Kitchen Hymns (@coppercanyonpress.bsky.social, 2024). The part it's in is called "In a Garden by a Gate."
I love this book!

"her memory is a cloud she can't hold..."

Lots of feels with this poem for my mum. Sent with love for anyone with a parent or loved one with Alzheimer's/dementia. It's a journey.

(And thank you @poetsorg.bsky.social and Rick Barot for sharing this one. It means a lot.)

Mourning those murdered by Hamas isn't incompatible with mourning those murdered by the Israeli state.

Demanding that the hostages return isn't incompatible with naming & demanding an end to genocide.

Naming the power imbalance & impact thereof doesn't desecrate those murdered two years ago today.

Today marks two years since Hamas’ October 7 massacre and the start of Israel’s assault on Gaza. We asked Palestinians and Jews on our team how they felt about their home then — and how they feel now. To see the full post, click here shorturl.at/msoVq

They'd have to admit that their goal had been ultimate revenge and genocide all along and that they're not there (???!!!!) yet.

Two years of hell. Under our noses. And ongoing!!

The Hopi Tribe received a multimillion-dollar federal grant to install solar panels and battery storage systems for hundreds of homes. But the Trump administration has canceled the funding.

Absolutely love that final phrase.
