Dana and Elia don't like the fact that we're #Mamdani's age. We also talked about his victory means.

Caught up on episodes #193 and #194 of the @thefirethesetimes.com podcast with Amos Goldberg on Gaza, the Holocaust, Holocaust studies and genocide studies and this whole, oftentimes very silly, debate — really informative for those who care thefirethesetimes.com/2025/05/25/i...

In case I've only recommended this podcast 999 times:
We spoke to Gaza journalist Maram Humaid about the many layers of Israel's genocide @thefirethesetimes.com. There was even an Israeli airstrike nearby during our recording.

I edited this episode. It's really powerful. Hearing Maram speak at length about her daily life in Gaza under Israeli siege and bombardment is just ... I don't know how to communicate how privileged we are to hear the stories of someone resisting genocide. We need to listen, we need to do more.

Amos Goldberg is an Israeli historian of the Holocaust who called Israel's war on Gaza a genocide. He joined @ayoub.bsky.social to talk about the ways 'intent' is used to mislead the public, and whether the field of Holocaust and Genocide Studies is in crisis.

For @thefirethesetimes.com @justinsalhani.bsky.social and I spoke about what it’s like to be the children of the children of war. Our parents were active in the 1975-90 Lebanon wars - his father, Claude Salhani, as a photojournalist and my parents with the Red Cross

In this wonderful conversation with @mollycrabapple.bsky.social, @ayoub.bsky.social mentions his work looking into the "bloodless civil war" between Yiddish and Hebrew and we are incredibly excited to be publishing it next week.

Bella conversazione sulla riscoperta della tradizione del Bund - l'unione dei lavoratori ebrei - e cosa possa significare per l'oggi l'intraducibile parola yiddish "Doikayt".

Seriously, you probably need to listen to this, but it just doesn’t seem like a thing that you need to listen to. I think you should trust me. Just listen.

post-🎧 reflections:
the Bund & the concept of "Hereness" mirrors the practice of mutual aid in that both ask of us to start w. where we are & what we have. both ask of us to stop looking outward for solutions & instead build & invest in our current geographical temporality.
