Support Masafer Yatta - Watch No Other Land

No Other Land is available to rent directly from the filmmakers (until May 9th I believe) and all proceeds will go directly to those in Masafer Yatta at supportmasaferyatta.com. You can also donate on that same page directly if you've already seen the film or want to give a larger or smaller amount.

Is there a way we can let Team Orca know about the cigar-smoking TERF ex writer on a yacht???

Porn Studies Body, Genre, Apparatus: Re-reading Linda Williams on Pornography. Volume 11, Issue 2 of Porn Studies

Linda Williams changed how we see, think, and argue about pornography, desire, and the moving image. Hard Core was the first serious study of porn as film. Porn Studies recently published a special dossier on her contributions to the field: www.tandfonline.com/toc/rprn20/1....

*No Other Land* airs on *Channel 4 at 11.15pm, Tuesday 4 March.* Please share widely so as many people as possible can witness how Israel steals Palestinian land and destroys homes and lives, shown through the eyes of Basel, a Palestinian filmmaker, and Yuval, an Israeli journalist.
