My late father, Amos Oz, would have been sad, disgusted, but proud to be banned by these 1000 writers and literati.
And ban him they would. Not because he didn’t care for the Palestinians, of course he did, but because he’d be the first to tell these virtue signallers that they are historically and politically ignorant.

We published the Stained anthology because maybe, just maybe, sharing stories of leaking through in the TA's office, in the outfield, on the jungle-gym, at the Punk show will maybe, just maybe, make more of us more understanding & empathetic. Maybe, just maybe, even change policy
1/ Gov. Tim Walz's detractors have dubbed him "Tampon Tim" because he signed a bill mandating free menstrual products in Minnesota public schools. The law addresses a genuine need—86% of menstruators have started their period unexpectedly in public. rewirenewsgroup.com/2024/08/… /

Miranda July's new novel All Fours takes on menopause & more. In this interview she says "How could any one woman’s account of aging and menopause be enough of a mirror for us all?" Read All Fours, read Darcy Steinke's Flash Count Diary, read Stained! yalereview.org/article/miran…

Individuals are free to respond, rebut or criticize as they choose. But to erase the work of a writer who sought to grapple with the complexities of the war in Gaza in her own life is to set a dangerous precedent at odds with the freedom to read and the values of free expression.

🧵A writer's published work should not be yanked from circulation because it sparks public outcry or sharp disagreement. At its best, literature is a bridge, connecting us across differences; writers help guide the rest of us across that bridge. latimes.com/world-nation/sto…

The decision by the editors of a literary magazine to retract an essay about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict reveals much about how the war is hardening human sentiment, writes @PhilKlay: theatlantic.com/books/archiv…

Anyone who wants to seriously grapple with war had better be prepared for far more shocking opinions than are found in this thoughtful essay by a translator and writer living in Israel. Shame on @GuernicaMag for pulling it down.

“I say this now to remind myself how words can squirt sideways, mute and mad; you think they are tools, or toys, or tame, and all at once they burn all your clothes off and you’re standing there singed and ridiculous in the glare of the lightning.”

ALT Last thing: one Sunday evening about a year before all this happened we were on the phone, my mother and I; it was just after we sold the house and she’s moved into the facility. As we talked i was watching snow drift down the dusk outside, when out of the pause she said: it’s funny to have no home”—funny being a funny word for what she meant. “I say this now to remind myself how words can squirt sideways, mute and mad; you think they are tools, or toys, or tame, and all at once they burn all your clothes off and you’re standing there singed and ridiculous in the glare of the lightning. —Anne Carson

It was amazing to have been involved in Sheffield's groundbreaking Period and Menopause Equality Charter (led by the incredible @JaynePDunn @SheffCouncil) . The launch event is 8th March on International Women's Day!
