ICE agents shooting & then standing over Alex Pretti as he bleeds out is the same as IDF soldiers shooting & then standing over 14-year-old Jadallah Jadallah as he bleeds out.
We are here because two, 2024 Dem presidential candidates preferred this harrowing parallel to an arms embargo on Israel.

This stunning poem
This translation of a bildungspoem by Yucel Kayiran by Derick Mattern speaks to the intersection of poetic form and the novel’s gest towards self-narration. It is thrilling to me. Thrilling.

I recently typed up my journals spanning spring of 2023 to fall of 2024. My son’s birth in July of ‘23 looms large over the pages, and then that joy shares space with the horror of witnessing the genocide in Zionist-occupied Palestine.

I don’t really hate that people enjoy sports. I don’t hate that sports are flawed. I do think I hate that they’re big business, and that that makes them important. I think it’s bad that sports are important.

I’m glad the halftime show was good, and that the Seahawks fans are happy, I’m sure. But I’m seeing people once again engage with the advertisements as if they’re culture when they are trying to sell you things, and that I’ve had enough of.

My snobbishness is what comforts me about AI. I was already looking forward to turning out islands of quality writing in a river of shit. So the river is now a rushing torrent? Oh well.
