As a student of History and observer of people, a lot of you seem to only view violence in the physical form. That way of thinking is dangerous. It allows you to forget poverty is violence. That denying you healthcare is violence. That polluting your water and air is violence.

Believing that children in Gaza deserve food to eat is not the same as being pro-Hamas/pro-terror.

I can’t stress enough how much AI is ruining the internet. Pinterest is un-usable, Google image searches are overrun with misleading slop. It’s estimated that there are now more bots on the web than there are people. We have seen a wonderful thing destroyed in our lifetimes.

They blew up Ramia today. This beautiful, tiny village full of life that centers my ethnography of life-as-resistance through endless seasons of war in South Lebanon. On the left is a photo I took of Ramia and its marj in 2008 during my days of fieldwork there after the last war-

nothing demonstrates just how little regard the state has for its citizens like hurricane season. every year the policy is basically “evacuate if you have the money or die!” no preventative measures, no improved infrastructure, just everyone fending for themselves

"I find a kinship in this anthology . . . so many of the writers are in the . . . process of rejecting old, white supremacist, capitalist, patriarchal scripts about their lives."
