We're almost breaking through to fund the first book. With just a few weeks left of the fundraiser, you still have time to fund this new, proudly Palestinian press!

Happy timezone greeting!

Rose and Jasmine Press are open for submissions January 1st. Guidelines are here. Note, I only want queries for novellas and short story collections at this stage.

Nearly $2 000 in two days! I'm aiming to publish four novellas or short story collections in 2024, anything from literary fiction to speculative of all types. Arab publishing professionals are a very small demographic.

Here's your chance to support a Palestinian literary press!

Thanks to some very generous folks, the campaign for Rose and Jasmine Press has cracked $1000 and we are only on day two of the fundraiser! It's very good to know there are so many of you out there who believe in this small Palestinian-owned press.

Hey, you want to pre-order this chapbook of poetry. It's a second edition with extra content, all by Montreal-based Afro-Palestinian poet Samah Serour Fadil. https://ko-fi.com/s/363af8aa0c

It's mom's first Christmas in the nursing home, and I want to really spoil her. She put in her order already: a feast. I am on a fixed income, so anything you can spare will go toward making her a home cooked Palestinian feast.

I just checked in on SFWA's Discord and... it's a hot fucking mess of anti-Palestinian racism. I am legit shocked. I no longer wish to be affiliated with this organization, in any form. I'm shaking... I was expecting apathy, but it's a violent. It's not safe for me, for any Palestinian. I'm gone.

This is coming literally on the cusp of me trying to write again. They just didn't think there would be any Palestinians in the room.

Happening in an hour: spooky business for justice in Palestine. Join me. I designed this to be open to people of all faiths and none!

I'm going to do this; there's going to be a free resource on my website where you can find a variety of spooky things that you can do, from protecting protestors, to dissolving apartheid. I'm going to make it happen. You can help.

Don't know anything about spookiness, but you want to help? Comment below with a sentence that affirms your desire for Palestinians, Palestine, and our allies (ex. "I am safe at protests" "Palestinians are alive."). These can be turned into sigils very easily.

Spend all day encouraging folks in the most Life-affirming way I know, only for some weirdo to call me a 'terrorist.' How quaint.

Palestinians, like all colonized people, have been living through the apocalypse for years. And we know that the End of the World means the end of oppressive systems, and the coming of new ways of relating--or the reviving of old, wholesome ways of relating to all our relations.

My father, my grandfather, believed Palestine will be free, with unity, dignity, freedom, and justice for everyone.

In Palestinian folklore, we believe that stones can be our witnesses. Even though Israel has effectively severed Gaza from communication with the rest of the world, the acts that it commits there will not go unrecorded and unremembered.

Say Palestine. Say Palestinians. End apartheid.

This thread has apparently helped a lot of people, "like drinking cool water when parched."

A lot of folks are finding empowerment through this story of mine: 'What the Ghouleh Said on Thursday of the Dead' which is my first Palestinian gothic horror piece. It is inspired by Palestinian folk religion, ghoul lore, and the Nakba. https://www.seizethepress.com/2022/10/12/sulaiman-issue5/

All Palestinians are beyond the event horizon of horror.
