Zadie Smith and Ian McEwan among 380 writers and groups to call Gaza war ‘genocide’
Zadie Smith and Ian McEwan among 380 writers and groups to call Gaza war ‘genocide’
Letter also signed by Hanif Kureishi and Russell T Davies urges ceasefire and unrestricted distribution of aid
Three hundred and eighty writers and organisations including Zadie Smith, Ian McEwan, Russell T Davies, Hanif Kureishi, Frank Cottrell-Boyce and George Monbiot have signed a letter stating that the Israeli government’s war in Gaza is genocidal and calling for an immediate ceasefire.
“The use of the words ‘genocide’ or ‘acts of genocide’ to describe what is happening in Gaza is no longer debated by international legal experts or human rights organizations,” reads the letter, which was also signed by William Dalrymple, Jeanette Winterson, Brian Eno, Kate Mosse, Irvine Welsh and Elif Shafak.

A fun fact is I had one, ONE film school professor who taught us this, rather than the racist made up malarkey. We watched Oscar Mischaux instead of Griffith, and I was a big fan.
DW Griffith directed BIRTH OF A NATION (1915), a virulently racist film (and neither his first nor his last one of those) that saw racist violence follow wherever it was screened.
So, naturally, there are film bros and gals who think we should "ignore the racism" and keep it in the canon.

I forgot I had this thing but tbh this is as good as any other place to post that we’re moving back to the US. The ship is obviously going down but if I can sit in a lifeboat alone or swim back and maybe bail out a boat with my family on it, I know which I’m opting for.

We're doing a 'freedom to read' event and Harry Potter was on the list of suggested books to read, and I've been loudly advocating for people not to. Read a book not by a hateful bigot. Please.
The fact that I still see ANYONE, but especially gay book people, talk about Harry Potter or any of Joanne’s stuff in bookish places still baffles me. I understand personal connections to stories. Enjoy them on your own if you still can. Don’t give her public promotion though. Pretty basic. #BookSky

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.
Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

I also had a schmuck on Letterboxd say I had the worst taste in movies he had ever seen when I said the Eggers Nosferatu movie wasn't good, and honestly? I now have a goal: have the taste in movies that make neckbeards on the internet mad.

Related: I don't understand why every major streamer does not have a "New" tab on its homepage with every recent original addition listed in order from newest to, say, a month ago. These algorithm-obsessed companies are still failing their subscribers on the most basic level of customer service.
I'm seeing a lot of posts expressing shock that a prestigey new film adaptation of August Wilson's The Piano Lesson just quietly went up on Netflix, and it's a good reminder that awards-buzz hype and commentary remains a very specific bubble that never reaches a huge number of movie lovers.

There's something I need people to understand.
The studio that made this released some numbers. They had to produce 85 minutes of footage to find 15 usable seconds for this ad.
The machine that creates moving images out of nothing has a failure rate of 340:1 and the best 15 seconds... is this.

I'm wondering at what point I just #selfpublish and move on with my life. I have two nice smutty #historical #fiction books and I can't get anybody to consider them. But self publishing kinda feels like giving up.

As we all know from history, being nice to Hitler is a great strategy that will result in the Nazis being appeased and not doing anything scary
Liberal Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor and conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett are headlining joint public appearances to make the case for disagreeing more agreeably at a time when the country is more polarized than ever and public opinion of the Supreme Court is at historic lows.
The Supreme Court seems bitterly divided. Two justices say otherwise.
Liberal Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor and conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett have taken their friendship onstage to encourage civil public discourse.

Asked IATSE if I could do installments, because I do not have $600 after not working for eight months. They knocked $40 off what I owe but otherwise nope just owe the full amount.

1. For my education to count on an application for a state job I'd need to pay to send official transcripts.
2. To join my local IATSE branch I'd need to pay more than $600 beyond what I paid to join in the first place.
I am not paying [any more] to be eligible to apply for jobs, but what the shit?
