This paragraph is incredible. What cruelty it paints. @lithub.com.web.brid.gy lithub.com/letter-from-...

Another favorite essay of the year: Daniel Yadin's essay in @thedriftmag.com on romantasy and the desire for escapism in catastrophe. It was so funny while speaking to the very real temptation to abdicate agency. Some favorite passages:

For today’s newsletter, I shared a “rage tangent” from a longer work in progress about artwashing, genocide profiteers who fund major arts organizations, the false scarcity they create, and how artists in the imperial core can envision liberatory arts spaces.

This Sunday, I'm co-leading a workshop on some research I've been working on over the last few years on "artwashing", genocide profiteers who fund major arts organizations, and activists organizing against them. Come check it out at the Seattle Liberation Center from 3pm-5pm!

I used to write a newsletter, and I've now revived it under a new name: I HAVE A RIBCAGE; YOU HAVE A RIBCAGE. Every Friday, I'll be sending out a new piece of writing. Looking forward to sharing with you! jesseroth.beehiiv.com/p/introducin...

But beyond looking back at teenage drama-school nonsense, I was quite moved by this observation. This "we" is one of the things that brings me to organizing. I spoke of it to a fairly apolitical friend recently and she (vulnerably) said she was afraid of that kind of collectivity.

Particularly compelled by how Sarah Khatry and @aprzhu.bsky.social's @nplusonemag.com interview shows the ways Chen's poor craft obscures Israel's colonial project.
