Happy birthday to Bootsy Collins, born on this day in 1951 in Cincinnati, Ohio. Here he is sharing his formula for funk on the BBC series “Rockschool” in the 1980s.

oh the grace and acuity of Robert Glück. The question itself is the answer.
"How can I convey urgent social meanings while opening or subverting the possibilities of meaning itself?" – Robert Glück, Long Note on New Narrative

Ziad's "Gaza Diary" is the best war reporting I see each day, the nitty gritty of survival written by a civilian under seige. Thank you @guardian for publishing it: theguardian.com/global-devel…

Bo Huston was a sometimes unpopular curmudgeon at BAR. His dislike for "good gay" marriage mimicking straights earned the ire of BAR's good gay readers. At least they paid him—writers need money and support. Nominate your fave for The Bo Huston Prize 2024. tinyurl.com/364zx7xj

Israel/Palestine—we are remembering that Fred Moten has actively created a common ground of writing that REFUSES the binary of Palestine v. Jews. Thank you Fred Moten, and thank you everyone else on all sides who refuse this binary.

"Just give us...all available footage of prime years Alex Ferguson where he seems to be bathed in a vengeful cold white light, like a 17th century witch-finding puritanical priest being asked questions about haircuts by sullen men with dictaphones." wtf Barney Ronay?

This is the urgent message for any American—"the genocidal policies of the Israel government would only be possible with US support." This is true of their apartheid system, too. It is a product, of US economy, money, military, and support. Blood on our hands.
Honestly I'm feeling speechless about Gaza. I don't know if I have anything useful to say, except to repeat that the genocidal policies of the Israeli government would only be possible with US support. Billions and billions and billions of dollars of military aid, for decades.

Small press perfect—quite a list from Amethyst Press, Stan Leventhal and Michele Karlsberg's labor-of-love. Literature is made and circulates by hand. Hook up your favorite writer with a great small press. Nominate them for the Bo Huston Prize 2024 tinyurl.com/bdd5vabh

6. Which way? Military escalation by two immense powerful militarized societies: Israel and the US? Or end the brutal structures of occupation, apartheid and siege and give people a chance to live, and to live their lives with equal rights and freedoms?

URGENT: theguardian.com/world/2023/s… "...prosecutors have launched a civil investigation into one of the country’s largest banks’ historical links to slavery, in an unprecedented move to hold Brazilian institutions to account for their role in the enslavement of millions of Africans."
