4 years of work, writing, research & collaboration; a lifetime of thinking. ‘The Book of Mysteries: Wild Time and The Ritual Year’ final edits went off to @pushkinpress.com on Friday - feels like a birth and a death all at the same time! Which, honestly, is very apt.

I love this book so much

Anas has social media in Gaza that predates the war, is #83 on the Gaza Vetters list docs.google.com/spreadsheets... and his older brother is @osamabasilps1.bsky.social whom I’ve shared before.

Anas and his family are living in tents and trying to survive but they are focused on their future ❤️

‘I believe that damaging and destroying weapons of war is one way of waging peace: I can only conclude that for the British government, the waging of peace is terrorism.’

Wow, thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed.

The @LemkinInstitute is calling on every leader in the world to step in immediately with measures that ensure food and water gets into Gaza right now. No more discussions, meetings, reports, sessions, summits. GET FOOD AND WATER INTO GAZA NOW. IF YOU HAVE THE POWER, YOU MUST USE IT.

Wow—the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention (named after Raphael Lemkin, a Holocaust survivor who coined the term genocide) says plainly:

"No more discussions, meetings, reports, sessions, summits…IF YOU HAVE THE POWER, YOU MUST USE IT."

"HISTORY WILL DETERMINE THE RECTITUDE OF YOUR ACTIONS."

‘The willingness of the average British citizen to convict someone of smashing up a plane to prevent more deaths would be hard to guarantee. Now there is no need to worry.’

How Cloud Atlas Is Shaping a Generation of Authors - Reactor Tracking the influence of David Mitchell's groundbreaking novel over the last two decades.

With a flood of new books seemingly drawing inspiration from David Mitchell's "Cloud Atlas," @charliejane.bsky.social asks if this incredibly influential novel has created a subgenre all on its own?

Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell casts a huge shadow over the book world. I'm seeing a flood of books that borrow its genre-hopping, generation-spanning format.

So in my latest newsletter, I wonder: is Cloud Atlas becoming a bit of a genre on its own?

“Any effective response to the anti-gender movement will entail a critique of the new forms of authoritarianism and the passions they exploit.”

Judith Butler shows us how anti-gender rhetoric fuels current authoritarianism by producing social fears/anxieties. We must disrupt the emotional politics.
