It's hard to capture just how destructive the biased @nytimes coverage of the genocide in Gaza has been. I am joining 300+ scholars, public figures, and writers in boycotting the Times and demanding accountability. Learn more here: boycottdivestunsubscribe.com…

I hate him so much that my hatred has eaten my heart and is now copulating with the carcasses of dead dictators.
I’ll still be lurking here but we got tired of how terrible this site is (low functionality/high Nazi count)
My grandfather’s lungs gave out after years of working in a bauxite mine. He died before I was born.
Let’s remember all the millions upon millions who died making soft-handed men rich.
Today is #WorkersMemorialDay, honoring workers injured or killed on the job.
I wrote this for @proteanmag after my granddad died from mesothelioma. He spent forty years working at a steel mill, breathing in the asbestos that ultimately took him from me. proteanmag.com/2021/03/23/st…

Gaza has become a “mass grave” for Palestinians and those helping them.
Israeli forces are systematically destroying Palestinian life and showing a blatant disregard for the safety of humanitarian and medical workers:

Viet Thanh Nguyen has been tireless in his written and moral profundity on this genocide - from day one. Few in the literary community, specifically those who hold the mantle he does, have done what he continues to do and speak on.

Just imagine the outrage if this happened in the UK? France? The USA? Israel? The normalization of the mass murder of children and the daily war crimes against Palestinians is so racist and beyond human understanding.
We are ten years old and still somehow going strong.
