Viewed through this lens, the new focus on Gaza is not a change of fortune for Palestinians, but rather a sign of how successfully the United States has suppressed their sympathizers. The pictures of infants reduced to skeletal forms, the videos of panicked hungry crowds under fire, the sheer devastation wrought on the Gaza Strip — these images no longer pose a risk to America. A photograph cannot inspire an antiwar movement if the antiwar movement has been spirited away in the night to a facility in Louisiana. Like the Napalm Girl photo, these images are but a symbol of a tide that has already turned.

hard agree with this from @catrionamp.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/infradig...
“but I want to stress the labour rights angle anew, which is often neglected in lofty statements about authors and readers and capital-L literature. Of course we should be worried about the ever diminishing opportunities available for writers to get paid for their work, and also about avid readers of Australian literature having fewer books to choose from – but conglomeration is a particularly shit deal for people employed by publishers, the editors, publicists, proofreaders, sales folks, production editors, accountants, rights managers and other bods involved in bringing books into print. Those are the workers directly affected by processes euphemised as change management and rationalisation. We do need to talk about artists rights in Australia and recognise the value of creative labour, but I’m strongly of the view that the work of artsworkers needs to be more visible in these conversations.”
