Some news from me, thanks to a team of super activists who have been working for months, the biggest flotilla to try and break the siege on Gaza is leaving on Aug 31st. I'm proud to be going on it and obviously nervous. We'd love if you'd follow globalsumudflotilla.org #FromEveryRiverToEverySea

I don't know if there's anyone using the privilege of their platform as well as Sally Rooney is, right now. Hard to overstate how different the world might look if everyone in a position like hers pushed on issues they way she does.
Wow Sally Rooney. Fair play.
‘I feel obliged to state once more that… I too support Palestine Action. … If the British state considers this "terrorism", then perhaps it should investigate the shady organisations that continue to promote my work and fund my activities, such as WH Smith
and the BBC.’

If there's one thing you read today, read Camilla Grudova's essay on the precariousness of making a living from writing when you're from an underprivileged background and the ways that writers shift and adapt snd often have to make do. I felt so incredibly seen by it.
