a bummer to not have gone to AWP for this last day and meet more people.
but also, friends, when the body says sleep, says less noise, says lay down, I hope you do.
we should all be getting more rest.

"I lose altitude; I fall in love with myself."
Divas, I'm so terrible at updating the public on news, but I have an interview out on the blog over @splitlipthemag.bsky.social! It was honestly so lovely and fun to talk about craft choices and what I love about writing and editing. Peep it below! πβ¨

"KNOW YOUR PROTEST RIGHTS You donβt need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you donβt need a permit to march in the streets or along sidewalks, as long as youβre not obstructing traffic or access to buildings. When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police. If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries. If you get stopped by the police, ask if youβre free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away. If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Donβt sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present. If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement office at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that youβll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney β no matter your citizenship or immigration status."
If you're taking to the streets to protest today, know your rights.
Iβm sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Mohammed. Mohammed was finishing his studies to be a civil engineer in Rafah. His home and the small farm that him and his family had were destroyed. Heβs now trying to survive with his large family, including many small children, in tents.
I'm the receiver for Doaa's fundraiser, we chat almost every day. Doaa and her three children have just been displaced to the south. As the situation grows more desperate each day any support you can provide helps, including sharing Doaa's posts! π
free palestine, divas !!!!! ππ

itβs such a gift to be in community with yβall and to be part of the good work yβall do to support queer artists! there are so few awards that recognize the work of editors, and even fewer for queer editors.

A two week old baby Palestinian girl lies on a big cushion inside a metal frame, outside in the shadow of a tent wall. Wearing a patterned onesie, she is stretching out her limbs and yawning.
It's 30Β°C in Gaza today, set to rise to 33Β°C in a few days, and tents do nothing to protect against the heat. Poor Talia is suffering. Please donate to help her parents buy more milk and water, plus other essentials. gofund.me/db56c7ce3 @mommunism.bsky.social @lexialex.bsky.social @fairshare.help ππΌ

hi friends, I have a good friend who is severely epileptic and has been struggling to find a job. In recent years, they lost a child and their service animal and things have just been impossibly hard. They have to put towards their mortgage by the end of the week. If you can help, please do.
