Plus ça change at the Hugos this year about what gets mispronounced—the Lipan title of Darcie Little Badger's award-winning book SHEINE LENDE; the Cambodian first name of the author of THE MINISTRY OF TIME, Kaliane Bradley—or casually skipped, like the khōréō masthead with all those foreign names.
This game can use your support, if you're a publisher, too! I get that this game might be too risky a subject to publish, but I believe many of you do understand & appreciate the value of a Palestinian-made game. There's an anonymous donation option, if needed for your job.

Hello, it’s me! If you’ve ever wondered what “scabbing” is specifically…here you go!
These videos also talk about what it looks like to be in solidarity with or undermine other actors during the strike, recasts during a strike, etc.
Just to be clear, you are defending a Heil Hitler salute that was performed and repeated for emphasis and clarity. People can officially stop listening to you as any sort of reputable source of information now. You work for them. Thank you for making that crystal clear to all.
I’m just going to say that AOC is the acting leader of the Democratic Party until someone proves otherwise. At least insofar as she is responding to the moment with leadership.
One thing before tomorrow:
Use your local libraries.
Get your card.
Borrow books, manga, films, audios, ebooks.
Recommend titles for purchase (usually online).
Attend promoted activities.
Fill out those "How are we doing?" questionnaires.
Tell your kids that libraries are good.
They are.

A call to action: Our organizing sister Danielle Monique has posted this brave and insightful essay on her experience working at the Society of Childrens Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI). We salute her courage and honesty. KEY POINTS INCLUDE: —SCBWI leadership planned to put out a post supporting Israel as it was committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. —After Daniel Monqiue spoke about this and other forms of zionism and racism at the org, SCBWI fired her for “insubordination.” — The CA Civil Rights Board has opened a case on SCBWI related to this
While this is not a call for a full boycott of SCBWI, we urge members of the kid lit community to consider how we use our platforms, who we uplift, what messages we're sending with our words and actions. SPEAK OUT! Over a year ago the children of Gaza held a press conference to beg the world to stop the genocide against them. The world, including SCBWI and PEN America, ignored them. But we don't have to. SPEAK OUT!
We believe the kid lit community needs to have an open, honest dialogue about organizations that represent us openly supporting genocide, including the murder of tens of thousands of children, and internally punishing pro-Palestinian voices. We cannot claim to be on the side of humanity, or children, or freedom, on the one hand and support all the opposite things with our actions. When we continue to invest our energy, time, money, creativity, and names to organizations that support genocide, we deepen our own complicity and help whitewash the ongoing atrocities
We believe we can do better, as authors, illustrators, readers, publishers, a community, we can do better. We can choose where we give our resources, how we speak out, how we respond to silence and silencing.
The Society of Childrens Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) planned to put out a statement supporting Israel while it commits genocide. Danielle Monique spoke up and was fired for insubordination. We have to do better in the kid lit community.
