Jewish refugees from post-WW2 Europe were the most fervent allies in the civil rights movement because they had seen what horrors such hate can bring. They wanted their adopted home to truly have freedom for all.
An author whose bestselling books are centred around deploring the evils of tyranny getting punished for speaking out about the actual evils of tyranny is… well, exactly what you would expect from this INSANE world.

Charging them with payment and executing payment are two different things. Then comes the potential of violence against women by men who don’t want to be liable for these costs.

Create Palestine already and let these people live! If the world was so humane to create Israel for Jews after the Holocaust, then it’s time to fix the injustice committed against the native population and give Palestinians a nation. Why is this so damn hard?

I had a friend dating an Italian. I asked what he does. He said, “I make-a da parties.” I asked, “Wow. What kind of parties?” After 20 minutes of exchange, it turned out he was a make-up artist 😭 🤡

It wasn’t until I did American Studies in Warsaw that I discovered all the powerful late speeches of MLK and his anti-war activism. I was shocked that all they ever taught me at school in the US was the Dream speech when there was so much more.
My response to Cait’s apology is pretty much the same as what I stated to her directly when she was trying to shop the feeble idea of a fictional villain named LILLY to take the fall in the group slack chat six days ago 👇🏼

My daughter (8) asked me to explain what’s been happening and afterwards I told her I’m sorry if I scared you. She said, no mama, I can handle it, thank you for telling me 🥲

There’s a section on this in the culinary atlas I translated last year for Big Picture Press - titled TAKE A BITE ☺️ In the chapter on Iranian culture + cuisine.

The worst part about this Solar Lauren nonsense is that the book by
@JustMarveWrites
is based on Yoruba lore. The absolute GALL of this lady to try and snatch that legacy from her.
When my grandmother was a child in WW2 Warsaw, her family gave her over to a convent for safekeeping. Her whole (Jewish) family was killed in the Holocaust but she was hidden by the nuns. She is the reason I am alive. And her spirit is more proof of what ought to be obvious…

This little girl grew up to have more little girls just like her. And her descendants, and her friends’ descendants, are today’s Trumpers. They never just vanished with abolition.

You’ll always find a percentage of people of all races who will disregard how hard their ancestors fought for them to live a better life and join in the oppression of those who didn’t have those opportunities and chance to progress.

Market: Young readers are reading fewer books. Have trouble accessing books that are appropriate for their reading level, bring enjoyment and have characters they can relate to.
Agents: Form rejection: This book is too different from books currently on the market.

All of these things I have been struggling with throughout my life - and with no help. Only derision. This thread is very comforting in acknowledging these traits.

No not “suddenly genocide” and it’s obvious to all honest people that this has been the long-term goal of the occupation. No one’s religion shields them from turning from victim to oppressor if they are morally bankrupt.

She floated some flimsy receipts but they are so clearly fake that I think she will just stay silent instead 😵💫 I hope she gets the help and support she needs to come out of this realizing how wrong she was and how unnecessary these moves were.
Still can’t believe my two years of vague publishing news is now

Never again in words but never actions. How can you speak of empathy when you are voting in favour of a massacre of mainly children and families?? Sickening.
@nowthisnews
Aha. So this is the US strategy: move the embassy to rile up some outrage, hope at least one Middle Eastern country voices their support of Palestinians. Then invade. Taken from the Bush playbook with an extra-vile trumped-up spin.
Since it’s my (actual) birthday I’d like to share some cool publishing news 🥳
Aside from my (unannounced) debut in October, I also have a two-book body-positive guide to puberty which I’ve translated coming out in December in the US 🥳💘🌿🥳

Face blindness issues: I met a writer whose book I translated at a party. 5 mins later I introduced myself to him again. Him: Ah, but we just met. Me: Ah, but you took off your jacket. I had him down in my difficult brain as “red jacket man” 😆
@_SJPeace_
These men are crying. These human beings have rights. Why would they have fewer rights than any of us? Because they were born in the “wrong” place? In a country plagued by the aftermath of neo-colonialist policies? Because they are brown?
@cal_beu
What fixed my outlook on abortion irrevocably was the diary of an American women at the start of the 20th C., who’d had 8 children, 3 of whom died, who had numerous miscarriages and near hemorrhage with each birth. By 40, missing her period was tantamount to a death sentence.
That no child should die or lose their families or otherwise suffer for one man’s maniacal political aspirations. It kills me that so many people don’t have enough room in the brains or kindness in their hearts to see that no child deserves to be bombed

The thing abou Beyonce is that she is incredibly shy. She has overcome that shyness to become a superstar but it’s still there in every interaction. I was once an assistant on a shoot with her. She was glorious, so humble and yes, so shy.
@StorySorcery
There’s some sort of warped strategy here but it defies all logic so it’s really hard to figure out what her end game is. Maybe she thinks other racists will flock to her KDP pubs? I mean, there’s no other explanation 🤯

It’s relevant because they’re still up to their same dirty tricks and they’re not afraid of any repercussions. White collar crime has never done so well for itself.

I actually never learned this in school in the US! I had to do American Studies in Poland of all places to get access to the bigger picture of American history.

My son would scream in terror each time he saw someone on crutches as a baby. When he learned to speak he would keep talking about war, the battlefield and death - at two years old 😱

Enter the world of fairies with a beautiful volume that dives into a rich world of mythology and folklore to present a compendium of fairy lore, exploring their origin, powers and personalities ✨
@MisterHand1
No I think what these drugs do is increase the probability of experiencing paranoid thoughts and so if you already have racist thoughts, it will bring them to the surface and amplify them.

It’s more like the hubris to want to “conquer” nature in spite of a shocking lack of physical and mental preparation for the brutal reality of extreme conditions. Respect for the athletes who put their all into but some people think determination is everything when it is just 10%
FAEDOM has been announced! Hooray 🧚🏻♂️✨🧚🏻 So delighted that Lorna

It is absolutely sickening that this massacre has been going on for over six months and the world still pretends to be powerless to stop it. Not only are Palestinian lives being destroyed — but any moral fiber we thought we had 💔 I can’t bear the idea of any more suffering.
My top three reads at the cusp of the year ✨ Three uncanny voyages ✨ through space, by air and by sea — each with its own alluring characters, mysterious doings and irresistible speculative underpinnings

When we do playdates it’s always based on the idea that the host is choosing the activity and covering all costs — which may be reciprocated by the other family at some point if they wish to. This is just gross.
@ragipsoylu
On FB I have seen posts from mothers whose children are begging them to move back to the US from Israel but they aren’t sure because then they would lose their Phillippino nanny and social status 🫠
