What happened to the Bay's pro-Palestine campus movement? We spoke with organizers across the Bay to figure out what worked, what didn't, and where to go from here for a free Palestine. bayareacurrent.com/this-is-how-...

This Is How We Win: Lessons from the Bay’s Pro-Palestine Encampments
Student camps in solidarity with Palestine sprouted up at UC Berkeley, San Francisco State and Humboldt last year. Bay Area Current makes a ledger of their success and failures.

the libidinal economy of Israel, the one that transforms grief into bombs, was never one that could hear an appeal to "humanity"

On Mourning and Statehood: A Response to Joshua Leifer - Dissent Magazine
How to grieve, what meaning to give those tears, is cruelly a political question whether we like it or not.

hey I put out a chapbook of poems that I wrote in Venmo transactions to my friends over the past 6 years. I made the foolish decision to self-publish so if you want to get your hands on one you'll have to follow me at my storefront (Instagram) linked below. The poems look like this
MARCH 3

Everything was over 
I kept arriving to things when they
were already over and yet
I felt there was something new
to eat
lean over
maybe I’ll be a mange­fange
which means mud­eater
and I’m so sick of Winter
there is not so much earth
left.
Instead
I’ll gain a taste for lead

say what you will about Barbie, but don't say that Barbie's consciousness being controlled by a listless depressive played by an actress named America, born in LA to immigrants from Honduras, the OG "banana republic," is not a perfect series of contingencies

this is what Baudelaire saw before he went home and wrote Paysage
a photograph of the Oakland California Temple at night, the grounds lit up with lights that decorate a fountain, gardens, and palm trees. the outlines of a large, ominous cumulus cloud loom on the left side of the horizon; a moon that appears to be telescopically enlarged is on the right side of the horizon.

A screenshot of two poems, both dated November 15, the first reading "In the dark times / Will there also be posting? / Yes, there will be posting / About the dark times." The second reads "In the posting dark / Singing? be there, yes. / Dark times, yes posting / And Brechtdancing 'til / The dawn"
