You can’t be more tired of giving (money, time, support) than people are of genocide and starvation and terror.

The Extended Universe

I’m reading @vickyacab.bsky.social’s THE EXTENDED UNIVERSE, abt Disney’s fanatical commitment to franchiseable IP. It’s insightful, intelligent, and principled, and illuminating about one corporation’s manipulation of copyright for profit. And it’s a fun read!

I love hearing Vicky Osterweil talk about anything, but most especially about how she understands the gorgeous threat that trans people constitute to the fascist ecocidal monsters who currently run most things in our lives. The latest podcast episode is out now!

support Elia for his constant brilliance-- do it, do it now! it takes seconds.

at first he was over to my left yelling at seagulls a crow on the fishing pier sign

i tossed him an almond and he took it here and started munching! crow almost finished with the almond from my little trail mix pack i got

looking up, beak covered in almond, crow

at the end he jumped over here as i got closer to put a second round of almonds and snapped a few of him watching me finish the transaction. so cute!

today i helped a crow(accidentally) by shooing away some seagulls from his spot, and then rewarded him being so patient with an almond and left a few for his other friend but he rewarded me with some great shots 🪶📸 i have so many good ones of him next i’ll post some of his friend later🖤🖤🖤

On the one hand World Bad but on the other hand the morale boost of waking up and hearing the birds chirping? Incredible

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Boycott success

Huge BDS win on cultural front

Giller Prize is no longer partnered w Indigo Books, Azrieli Foundation & Scotiabank

In 2023, comrades were arrested protesting the Giller. Then, thousands of writers & book workers refused participation.

Giller has now separated from all genocide-invested sponsors.

Extended Universe Book Tour My book The Extended Universe: How Disney Destroyed the Movies and Took Over the World, comes out officially from Haymarket next Tuesday, and I'll be doing a number of tour events to celebrate the launch! My first string of events is on the East Coast, but I'm looking into doing

My book tour starts *gulps* in two days, lmao, and I've just published the tour schedule on @caw-shinythings.bsky.social These are the first batch of East Coast dates, but I'm hoping to be on the West Coast in June or July. Anyway, come thru!

There is no ceasefire in Lebanon. Israel has been bombing Lebanon non-stop since last night. If anything Israel is expanding its war on Lebanon.

You are being lied to

Centrists: he didn't pull the Genocide Lever this time! Hahahahaha TACO! This is going to tank his poll numbers.

Me:

the fantasy that people will rise to the moment, the fantasy that people will change on their deathbeds, the fantasy that people secretly want to do good and are working on themselves when all evidence points otherwise, the fantasy that the state is anything other than this

do a solid and help these wonderful friends out (lot's of ways on how to do it in the post), and continue to support fabulous alternatives to the capitalist system! #BookJoy

‘The rope is for Arabs only’: Israel’s new death penalty law for Palestinians recycles a colonial playbook The passing of the recent Israeli death penalty law aimed at Palestinians formalizes what Israel and colonial powers have always done: creating new laws to legalize colonial violence.

Israel’s new death penalty law, which exclusively targets Palestinians, did not come out of nowhere.

It's passed down from scaffold the British built under military courts established by British Mandate in 1937, after 1936 uprising. The rope, as it always has been in Palestine, is for Arabs only.

“Property creates privacy, a sense of one’s self, and it also protects us from the uncleanliness of not owning. Money becomes an object that stands in for this–even as a total abstraction, like a number in a bank account.” -- Stone Telling, aka ghost writer for CAW

Ask a Crow If we normalize not hiding financial issues, then we start to reframe our relations to money away from privacy, and more towards knowledge sharing, which can then lead to resource sharing.

NEW Advice Column up! A reader wrote in with: “Why is talking about how we share money or talk about class in a straightforward way so bloody hard? I’d love some advice on how to approach this."
Our ghost columnist "Stone Telling” gave some damn good advice! ✨💰🐦‍⬛ www.cawshinythings.com/ask-a-crow-3/

Here is a drawing I did, it is a drawing of two birds saying “ABOLISH ICE”, pen and ink, color pencils on cardboard. Abolish ICE.

"History Is Repeating Itself" The war that the United States and Israel are waging in the Middle East is not solely directed at Iran. An interview with a Lebanese activist

Lebanon: “History Is Repeating Itself”

The war that the US and Israel are waging in the Middle East is not solely directed at Iran.

Israeli airstrikes are pummeling Lebanon, driving nearly 700,000 people from their homes.

To understand the consequences, we reached out to @ayoub.bsky.social.
