Queer Palestine’s white savior: a book review of Israel/Palestine and the Queer International by Sarah Schulman

After spending an afternoon last week protesting Donald Trump's second inauguration in a wind chill of zero degrees Fahrenheit, I find myself thinking back to Pride last summer.

Inventing Reality or Manufacturing Consent: Nonfiction November 2024, Week 3

This week in Nonfiction November, we are pairing books together! Here's the prompt from Liz: This week, pair up a nonfiction book with a fiction title (or whatever you want to pair up). Maybe it’s a historical novel and the real history in a nonfiction version, or a memoir and a novel, or a fiction book you’ve read and you would like recommendations for background reading.

Designing Nonfiction: Nonfiction November 2024, Week 2

Week 2's prompt for Nonfiction November, Choosing Nonfiction, is quickly becoming a favorite of mine. Our host, Frances of Volatile Rune, asks us: What are you looking for when you pick up a nonfiction book? Do you have a particular topic you’re attracted to? Do you have a particular writing style that works best? When you look at a nonfiction book, does the title or cover influence you?

Why I will vote third party in the 2024 election

Democrats use Project 2025 to take attention away from their material support for genocide, so they don't get my vote.

The Congo’s bloodstained blue gold: book review of Cobalt Red

In Cobalt Red: How the Blood of the Congo Powers Our Lives, American journalist Siddharth Kara takes us into the Congo's child-filled mines between 2018 and 2021—at least, as far as the Congo's military will allow him. Kara encounters numerous obstacles in accessing mines to document and miners to interview. Government and mining company officials do not even try to hide the fact that journalists are not…

Are you ready for Nonfiction November 2024?

A chill wind blows. For most, fall is about soft sweaters, delectable candles, and pumpkin treats. Here in the book blogging community, it certainly is about all of those things, but there is one most special event in the forecast every autumn. For us, the fall breeze brings Nonfiction November!

The books I've been reading are largely about Palestine, or socialism—both of which I'm new to and find politically dense and hard to read.
