We are running a campaign for our members to receive more books from our supporter, Pratham. Go and donate to our members so that we can share more stories with them, and they can take home more stories to share with their siblings.

Your support makes this campaign successful.

Keep Hope Alive: a Gaza Giving Circle We are a team of volunteers in the US and UK, led by two sisters passionate about helping our friends on the ground keep their families and neighbors alive with food, water, & shelter. We saw that…

I scheduled this the night of the 7th when “keep hope alive” sounded like a dream. But it’s our duty—and it helps keep six families alive. Yes, still. News or not.

They’re still here. What boldness can you conjure to keep them here?

TIL that a curfew is also a literal object! the word has its roots in the French couvrefeu - "cover fire" - and was used to denote a bell rung to warn people to cover their fires overnight to prevent the outbreak of flames between wooden houses. a curfew was a bell-shaped cover for embers!

In the late 1800s and early 1900s Native children were taken from their families and tribes and sent to government and church-run boarding schools. The goal of the schools was to assimilate Native kids to white culture so that eventually Native Americans would no longer exist as a distinct people.

Today is the National Day of Remembrance for boarding schools in the United States. Not sure what boarding schools are? You are not alone. Only 4 states include the history boarding schools in their curriculum.

I deeply thank everyone who remembered me on my birthday with kind words or gifts 💙.

Sadly, all I received must go to our 6th displacement under bombing 💔, and it’s not even enough for transport.
We need your support once again 🙏.

I’ve shared Haetam before but his fundraiser was closed by GoFundMe (he doesn’t know why) and most of the money returned. He has a new chuffed and needs to flee with his four young children

When the antebellum Slave Power whined of abolitionist "agitation," censoring the mail and demanding speech be suppressed, they didn't so much fear abstract moral arguments. They were infuriated, and threatened, by the simple factual accounts of what they were doing. And they weren't exaggerations.

Lubna & Mohammed were violently displaced, & lost their firstborn to miscarriage amid the stress & terror of Israel's genocide in Gaza. Please share & give to help them survive Israel's starvation & siege of Gaza:

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Mohammed. Mohammed is just 18 years old- I asked him what he did before the war and he told me he was a good student but he didn’t think he’d be able to ever go to school again. He’s raising for his family including his five siblings.

I'm Dhiyanah, South-Southeast Asian queer disabled artist & writer. I've worked mostly on poetry & memoir, now shifting back to fiction after a long pause.

My #HotWetQueerSummer project is a sapphic, possibly cozy fantasy novella. 🌈 #WaterMeWIP #HotWetQA #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WIP

Whenever I have a share of the day not do as well as usual I hate it- when I was asking Anas questions so I could share him, he politely answered and then asked me questions about my own life back. He’s a sweet kid and I wish I had conveyed that better.
