   Thanks to everyone who braved the rain on the last day of Cork Carnival of Science to come and see us.

   It was great to chat with so many visitors and show off some Tog projects in Fitzgerald Park.

   A huge thanks to all the Tog helpers who travelled down, set up the stand, ran demos and kept everything going despite the weather.

   A wet day in Cork, but a brilliant one all the same.

   “I am not raw material for the self-improvement of the people whose state, with active and pervasive participation from its population, expelled my family and me, stole our homes and heritage and has been actively trying to erase my people ever since.

   But if one accepts the “widen the horizon” frame – that it is right to push books across the language barrier so that Israelis can learn something – then the choice of which books to publish would carry the entire moral weight of the argument.
   It would have to be books that confront Israeli readers with what their society is doing: Palestinian testimony from Gaza; diaries of murdered journalists; documentary work on the destruction of medical infrastructure; translations of writing by prisoners held without charge; forensic accounts of the famine; the late Palestinian poet and academic Refaat Alareer‘s work and the tribute to him, If I Must Die; the anthology Every Moment Is a Life, a short story collection from 18 writers in Gaza that I mentored and edited; or the rest of the writing that has come out of Gaza in these 31 months, written under bombardment by people who are still there or who are no longer with us.

   It could be argued that the boycott could suspend itself for books that perform the work the boycott itself was meant to do – books that confront the colonizing society. But none of these was deemed worthy by +972 Magazine.

   The book in question is Intermezzo, a literary novel about two Irish brothers and the slow choreography of family moving through grief and love. It is not a book that holds a mirror up to the society into whose language it is being delivered. It does not place a single Israeli reader before a single uncomfortable truth about the carnage their state and military are waging.
   It is prestige literary fiction – the kind of book a national literary culture imports to feel itself participating in the global conversation.

   Sally Rooney is one of the most commercially powerful literary personalities of her generation. A new novel by her is a publishing event. The whole appeal of the maneuver is that it punctures the isolation. That is the function of the choice.

   It is a demonstration that the boycott has a backdoor and the celebrated novels of the global literary scene still arrive in Hebrew on time, preserving the cultural normalcy of the Israeli reading public in the middle of a genocide.”

   @Mastodon @imanijoy I'll use this event to ask for exportable notes. User notes are very important, I don't mind hiding the empty field per se, but coupled with the lack of export, it's turning the notes into a third-class field, when it should be promoted to first-class, as the only private/not shared free-form field available to us.

   It could (should?) even be encrypted client side so server admins couldn't see it! Please consider.

   The first two words of this headline are the most powerful - "Of course..."

   We all recognise bullies. We must stop letting Farage and his dirty money mates gaslight us.

   It is obvious. Of course, he's a bully. Of course, he said these awful things back then. Of course, he is using hate to divide us now

   It not about "taking credit," you disingenuous moralfag. It's about taking what was given to us by those who came before us and passing it on to those who come after us.

   It's about honoring our ancestors by stewarding our national inheritance. Failure to do so betrays them,

   As of today, there is no longer a fungus among us.

   It’s still not clear the degree to which her lungs will ever fully recover, but celebrating this milestone regardless.
