My 2nd book, THE LAST DRAGONERS OF BOWBAZAR, is about an uncracked egg, as it were, in a dragon's nest in Calcutta. The mc Ru is *not* me, but my experiences growing up queer in India without realising it did flow into Ru's life.

The term "flour massacre" is so incredibly dense with horror that it should be the name of a single awful historic event, but for the IDF it's just a tactic.

"will require a breakthrough energy source" my dude, it requires nothing because it doesn't need to exist. you WANT a breakthrough energy source to keep playing, and you can get in line behind the people who actually need it #comemierda

Having read through this, I found it disappointing. Not enough pushback on disingenuous answers. Schatz seems to admit KOSA overreaches, but still supports it? Why? No mention of state AG enforcement. Also, they won't hide LGBTQIA+ content and abortion info for kids, they'll hide it for *everyone*.

So You're a Professor? Here's What You Can Do to Oppose Genocide - Steve Salaita Feeling helpless does not mean being useless. It is possible to support Palestinians from afar.

If you're an academic in the West, here are a few suggestions for opposing Zionist genocide:

Cumbersome process and 'arbitrary' Israeli inspections slow aid delivery into Gaza, US senators say A cumbersome process of Israeli inspections and other hurdles are slowing the entry of aid into Gaza.

"One in four Palestinians in Gaza is STARVING, and the rest face crisis levels of hunger, according to the U.N."

My condolences on this loss, I'm so sorry.

Charcoal pencil portrait on paper of an imagined dragoner from my novella THE LAST DRAGONERS OF BOWBAZAR, drawn by me, showing a young woman in a headscarf, looking straight ahead with fierce determination. Her face is tattooed with the design of a dragon, and a claw or fang hangs from one earlobe. Her long black hair flows out of her headscarf.

For anyone considering for awards or just looking for a read, a post of my two 2023 publications, an antho short and my uncategorisable '90s/'00s Calcutta-set mythic realist novella THE LAST DRAGONERS OF BOWBAZAR. 🧵 of the works below as well: indradas.com/2023-publica...

Really interesting that there is a new wave of TikTok fearmongering suddenly flaring up when the platform has been an invaluable tool for spreading first hand information and awareness about the ongoing genocide against Palestinians.

i am continually aghast that we are witnessing the most widespread slaughter of journalists in modern world history and it is not topic A in the media industry. where the hell is the outrage??? www.thenation.com/article/soci...
