Queer Cinema for Palestine Global Screenings โ June 2025
'No Pride in Genocide, a groundbreaking global film event co-organized by the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) together with hundreds of partner groups worldwide.
QCP 2025 features more than 100 screenings in over 30 countries all over the world, from China to Ecuador, of a collectively-curated stellar short film program throughout the month of June 2025.'
As a journalist on the Fediverse with a Ghost site and newsletter, I don't need the adoption option, but I'd LOVE IT if more people signed up to my free newsletter.
Being niche and not being a mega Ghost success story like 404 or Molly W (both of whom I think are great) I can't really say that avoiding the big social media channels is a great plan for reach, but I do it anyway because it's what I believe in.

Fashion is so good at showing what a f*cked up system capitalism is.
At 09:06:02 AM this morning the CEO of Amazon Andy Jassy had already made the annual salary of a Bangladeshi garment worker. 10 minutes later, Zaraโs Oscar Garcรญa Maceiras had done the same.
Why do women wear flowers in their hair to work in the hell of a Tamil Nadu garment factory? Why do unions know to check on a woman who stops wearing flowers?
You don't get to write this kind of piece (or even know it needs writing) without doing the long, hard work of grassroots union solidarity, so thank you Nandita and Nikita for such an insightful article.
