One thing you can do for us right now is to gather ski goggles, helmets, shields and respirators. Find as many as you can. Gather them all. Get them to UCLA right now or as early this morning as you can.

Students will hold the line. We will not abandon the camp. We need you.

Students REALLY need your help. Please gather goggles, face visors, water bottles, shields, saline, any other protest necessities and bring them to the encampment tomorrow.

If you're unable to bring supplies, please donate to sjpucla on venm0!

Last night, students and workers protesting peacefully at UCLA for justice in Palestine were physically attacked by a group of 100+ counter protesters. UC’s failure to protect students and workers is an abdication of its responsibility. UAW 4811 members are mobilizing in response

Por fin! La poesía de Janel Pineda acaba de llegar a Asunción! Una maravilla, una preciosidad, la poesía, la portada. Necesitaba tener el libro físico. 💜

If after reading my book, you don’t think I would not support Palestinian liberation, I don’t know what to tell you. I support the liberation of all oppressed people, all over the world. I will not stand for apartheid, & I will not allow oppressors to gaslight me into silence.

Well, it’s happened. For opposing genocide, I’ve been uninvited from speaking on a historic panel alongside Emily Fɾαɳƈιʂ & Reyna Grande for @inlierLearning. Here’s your notice that Inlier can’t differentiate between condoning violence & supporting liberation. 🇵🇸

A central point I’m making in my book MAGICAL REALISM (2024) is that white people need fantasy to see white people going through what indigenous and colonized people go through to understand it. So here—understand it.

Poet Sara Borjas is haunted in the same way I am—a disembodied sense of unbelonging in the afterlives of colonization, of having practices and memories we can never claim, grief that we will never be claimed. 'Decolonialish Self-Portrait' is about that stranding, apt for today.

It was my honor to curate today’s young poet, Janel Pineda, Janel Pineda, and her poem “Mujer Malvada,” about the Central American chimera La Siguanaba, whom Pineda reads in the context of gendered violence. The link is currently broken so please read it here!

“This poem is addressed to La Siguanaba, a mythic figure who appears across Central American mythologies as a demonic, vengeful woman with the face of a mare who lives by the river and preys on evil men.”
