الحل لوصول أهل غزة للانترنت ليس إيلون مسك لصعوبات تقنيّة. الحل هو الشركات المصريّة. انشروا هاشتاغات 🔥👇🏽 ومنشن شركات الاتصالات #EgyptInternetForGaza #شبكة_مصر_لغزة
السادة شركات الاتصالات المصرية: @VodafoneEgypt
@EtisalatEgypt
@Orange_Egypt أتمنى أن تتحركوا الآن نحو معبر رفح بأبراج اتصالات، وتفتحوا خدماتكم لسكان غزة الذين يتعرضون لحرب إبادة ولا يستطيعون التواصل مع العالم ولا مع الأطقم الطبية ولا الدفاع المدني. تحركوا، الوضع خطير.

As someone who has been joking about tearing out my skeleton for as long as I've had a sense of humor, I find #NoBonesDay almost misses the point. Yeah, an old pug at rest is sweet, but what if I could *stop having* bones when they hurt? >,< #DisabilityTwitter #AdoptDontShop

Every day is a good day to share this 1999 letter from @ursulaleguin to Michael Powell in support of a unionized @Powells Books, but today is her birthday, so all the more reason. Happy birthday, Ursula ❤️

Such an honor to be a finalist @Tin_House. Determined as ever to get the full novel of "Canvas, Wax, Moon" out into the world.
We would also like to congratulate & thank our two finalists, @AilbhePascal and @briantrantho, who both submitted stellar projects that were unlike anything we have read before. We can't wait to have your books on our shelf!

Climate fiction often doesn't center justice. When it does, the words carry immense power. https://t.co/KseD8ciojn by @themadstone

When writers treat justice as a central issue, their words may have more power than they could even imagine.

I'm only 2/11 into this collection (not including my own story) because work has kept me busy, but pumped to be digging in this weekend!

Next up, I read "Afterglow," by Lindsey Brodeck. For stretches of this story, I forgot that it takes place in the future. Colonialism, but let's make it space (and be wary AF), and a beekeeper on earth who sounds just like a friend I know today. https://t.co/rqv2KclryO

First story I read was "El, the Plastotrophs, and Me" by Tehnuka Ilanko @tehnuka. Happy to see I wasn't the only one bringing repro. choice to the collection, especially when our stories have different contexts and our characters have different goals. https://t.co/YQH1Bm9YoH

It's vulnerable for writers to admit that we can't possibly know everything (thank you for this tender tweet I've been thinking about all week, @tehnuka). And also sensitivity readers should be paid well by, and in positions of power at, the publications that take on our stories.

Canvas - Wax -Moon By @AilbhePascal is another #ClimateFiction story that IMO broadens the genre. This #Wiccan #lunarpunk story shows a family coming together to provide support to its witching-hour baby when they need it most. Listen | Read here: https://t.co/zMTkXPmKYN

Yaaa, shukran jazilan @LaraSawalha! Your reading of "Canvas - Wax - Moon" was generous of spirit. Thank you for the love you put on Jidda Warda's lines, and for laughing like the laughter was true. #Accessible #storytelling should always be so enjoyable. https://t.co/JA8nwBi9vb

And wow, what a JOY to speak with fellow Philadelphian @AilbhePascal about their story Canvas-Wax-Moon, which has only become more crucial in the wake of recent events in Texas. https://t.co/Ex7mUeRT9I

If you are reading this because of my splash in the #Imagine2200 #CliFi collection at @grist, welcome. Also, please heavens, make a donation to @AbortionFunds (link in bio if you need). Abortions are NOT free atm, and it takes a village to praise/protect the abortion-seeker.

Thank you @BriBakerJrn and @grist for the opportunity to share my thoughts on climate fiction, healing, witchcraft, and abortions. This is such a great complement to the story. #Imagine2200 #CliFi #abortionsarenormal

An abortion is a ritualistic process for the The Satanic Temple's members, its spokesperson says.
