Part II: Linkapalooza & Stuffapalooza

Added 2023-11-19 16:49:04 +0000 UTC

I ended up with a zillion Links & Stuff ideas this week, so this is an email with a long list of links and nothing else. (There should also be a normal newsletter in your inbox that I sent a minute ago.) Enjoy(?) the content if u choose to indulge!

Things I meant to include last week about Palestine:

Jamie Lauren Keiles’ 27 questions
Isaac Chotiner’s wild convo with a leader of the Israeli settler movement
This from the Intercept (ignore the headline maybe) with a gut-wrenching last line.

More Palestine:

If you read ONE thing on this list, read this story about queer Palestinians.
Jamie and Jazmine Hughes on leaving/being forced out of the NYT for signing an open letter
This interactive story that visualizes various devastating (and already out of date) data re: Gaza. (Gift link.)
40 books about Palestine from Lit Hub
An official BDS guide to BDS boycotts.

Other serious topics:

I really trust Alex Zee’s writing and appreciated her recent dive into homelessness solutions. (It focuses on Oregon but applies more broadly.)
Rest in peace and power, Jesús Ociel Baena Saucedo, trailblazing nonbinary Mexican magistrate.
Caster Semenya wrote about her experiences of sex and gender. (Gift link.)
Niko on Kurt Cobain and addiction and respecting the dead.

Outside of the serious-fun binary lol:

Argentine Taylor Swift fans camped out for six months to get a good spot on the rail. But in like, a sort of beautiful intentional community sort of way? (This is maybe my second favorite story on the list if you’re looking to prioritize.)
This guy made two music videos WHILE incarcerated on Rikers and he’s a fucking legend for it.
An oral history of Jezebel, which shut down last week.

Fun, remember fun?:

I don’t fully understand this Shrek Rave guy’s thing about Judith Butler but that’s fine!
I don’t know how to sum this up but it IS trans culture
Billie come on gender reveal!!!!!!!!

OK, that’s really it for the week. Call your reps!!!!

Bonus Rhubarb. Xoxo.
