For a system rooted in freedom, justice & equality—free from exploitation and nepotism. Where we are rewarded fairly for our labor, without facing precarity or threats to our well-being. For solidarity and fulfilment instead of competition and profit. Happy Labor and Solidarity Day!

#readpalestineweek starts today! Here are some of my recommendations if you would like to explore Palestinian speculative fiction. I've just received my long-awaited copy of Thyme Travellers, edited by @soniasulaiman.bsky.social and can't wait to dive into it this week! What will you be reading?

I found this Proust questionnaire at Shakespeare & Co. It may help with the contemplation. :)

Stumbled upon this beautiful anthology yesterday and immediately got it. It's edited by @jordanelgrably.bsky.social and published by @citylightsbooks.bsky.social in 2024. It contains 25 stories selected from the Markaz Review.
