But, with two little kids in the house, not celebrating is a nonstarter. (Thanks capitalism and Christian hegemony!)

Any one know of resources for progressive, or any other, Jews who'd rather not celebrate all that. Songs? Rituals? Something like an orange or an olive on the seder plate?

Feeling extra conflicted about Hanukkah this year.

As I wrote a few years ago, the holiday is basically an eight night celebration of religious extremism and Jewish militarism.

The SFSU Creative Writing Department is hosting two *amazing* (virtual) panels next week about the war in Gaza, writing, justice, peace, and no doubt much more.

Isabella Hammad and Fady Joudah on Nov. 15 from 11-12 PST

And then...

Peter Cole and Adina Hoffman on Nov. 17 from 2-3 PST

Anyone out there looking for an AWP panel pinch hitter? I thought I wasn’t going to go but now I am.

Happy to speak about pretty much anything related to process, craft, teaching, etc.

I know this may not be for everyone right now. But because I know there are a lot of folks trying to understand the conflict, because I believe in the power of fiction, and because these books were v important to my own understanding, I wanted to share this list of Palestinian and Israeli fiction.

A few months ago, I put this picture my daughter drew up on my wall. Every few days I find her going back to it and adding in new details. Obviously a mood I am very familiar with.
