I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

When Israeli forces captured Jaffa in 1948, the municipal archives vanished, erasing Palestinians' legal proof of land ownership.

@philipmetres.bsky.social's DISPATCHES FROM THE LAND OF ERASURE shows how Arab poets have sought to preserve this disappeared history.

I'm heartbroken that poet Jennifer Martelli has died. Her poem "Teeth" appeared in Issue 21 of @tahomareview.bsky.social - one of my first issues as editor. I fell in love with her poems and was lucky to become her friend. She was funny, brilliant, deeply generous, & kind. She will be very missed 🐈‍⬛💔
