Now at a check point in the Occupied West Bank: Protesting against State sanctioned settlers' violence, and against Israeli apartheid.

So nice waking up to a handwritten letter from Japan, with a stamp and all.

"This passport holder acts and believes in peace between an independent Palestinian state and the State of Israel" and is currently listening to the Supremes.

Every Wuthering Heights, including and especially the upcoming one.

Worst casting decisions ever. I'll start: Clark Gable as Charles Stewart Parnell

Just got here. The settlers stole the olives. It's devastating.

Arriving in Nablus to help our Palestinian friends harvest their olive trees. The harvest season is a busy one.

Yesterday I ushered at a film festival in Tel Aviv dedicated to Palestinian cinema. At the post-screening panel, Gramsci the dog climbed on the stage to ask the filmmakers for a bellyrub. 💕

Today we harvested many olive trees in Ramallah. Wothout Israeli and international volunteers, the Palestinian farmers are prohibited from harvesting their own orchards. This is their livelihood, and we stand in solidarity with them.

On the way to Harvest olives in Ramallah, the Occupied West Bank, to hepp farmers with the olive harvest.
Hopefully the IDF and the settlers won't come to arrest us.
Meanwhile, I hate to brag but im the bus captain. 🙂

Really? Dublin is the best💜

In bed with an ear infection, worrying I won't be able to hear my students tomorrow, and looked after by "ears visible-from-space" Bono.

My favorite movie⚘️

Yesterday, I joined a human rights group in Ramallah, the Occupied West Bank, to help Palestinian farmers harvest their olive trees. Then settlers arrived with guns, backed by the IDF, threatened us, and forced us out of the orchard. Violence is surging in the West Bank.

I'm looking for a pseudonym, for a purpose I can't reveal. I'm thinking: Atila Bau. Much cooler than my regular name.

Planted olive trees today in Betlehem, the Occupied West Bank, to support the Palestinian farmers and in solidarity with the communities who suffer constant attacks by settlers and the IDF.

It's so great I have it on my wall

The Third Policeman is one of the best books ever

Ramadan Mubarak to all who observe💜

Dearest Susie, thanks so much! Looking forward to meeting virtually on Tuesday ❤️

This morning in Nablus, the Occupied West Bank, we stood in solidarity with Palestinian farmers, planting olive trees—a symbol of resilience and deep-rooted connection to the land. Suffering violence by criminal settlers, their endurance is a reminder of the urgent need for justice and solidarity.

sick and sickening

My book, Guilt and Finnegans Wake, is officially out today with Florida Press. We're having an online launch with @joycesociety.bsky.social on March 4, at 12 pm EST. I wrote a poem to entice you to attend. Maybe you already read it on Facebook. Here it is now:
