to call hummus a traditional israeli dish constitutes aggression. is the self appointed president of the very secret society of irregular witches fanclub.
please donate to help Rohingya children receive an education after displacement and lack of support. 100% of the proceeds will be going to ensuring these children are allowed an education + the tools for this, so please donate what you can and boost!
i think it’s so strange to lump palestine in with “political issues”. there are many verified accounts sharing what is happening in palestine now more than ever, it seems so cheap to not share due to misinfo. just correct yourself if it happens. doing something is always better!
posted on priv but let me say this here too, holly black is working with an israeli publisher please refrain from talking about tcp. holly jackson is too, so also please boycott the show + make sure if you are talking about it, that you do so on a priv account.
posted this on priv but let me post on here that emily henry is still working with an israeli publisher!! it’s modan and here’s the proof. she also took the donation link to gaza out of her bio
“she lost me at bts” i sincerely pray u never have to experience the things bisan has. she has every right to include bts. how many army’s do u think were killed simply for being palestinian and all you can say in response is “but think about the boys what about their careers 🥺”
She lost me at Bts. They are currently serving their country in the military and can't speak on these things rn, not to mention how much they supported Palestine before it became yall's trend. I'm talking since they were 15 year olds (they are all above 25 now).
so tired of these booktubers bringing up yarros, sjm and gabrielle zevin. they are zionists. then again you are friends with cindy and she continues to milk sjm content so i’m not really surprised. hope your shit morals in the face of a genocide is worth it.
the way some of you assume ppl have access to libraries is insane. not all of us live in the us/uk/countries where getting english books is available! + speaking from someone who is in a country where the price of english books is astronomical i just think this take is so tired
The confidence with which people talk about stealing ebooks on this very public website is wild. Piracy is theft. Theft is not victimless crime. You are stealing authors’ hard work and intellectual property. If authors can’t make a living, we can’t create the stories you enjoy.
once again reminding you all that there are pressure boycotts in place for holly jackson and holly black. please do not speak about their work, or the new tv show for agggtm, unless it is on a priv account. make sure to also leave blank reviews online + state why. thank you.
@softpoetrysound
but it’s not a political issue. + how can she write about genocide and include BIPOC in her work but the moment indigenous people are being ethnic cleansed it’s crickets? as readers we want authors to have the decency to denounce crimes they have denounced in their work irl
this is starting to take off a little bit so while i have you here, please also donate to this gazan family that is attempting to evacuate. if 1050 people donate €50 each, they will be able to reach their long term goal. please share and boost! x
tbh i think if you are not willing to simply abstain from worldly pleasures, like books, that are being sold in a settler colony during a genocide, then you need to interact with palestine content more. i gen dk how else you could ever attempt to pass it off as lesser of an issue
@ghvstwriterr
hi babes! even if my issue was not with the author themselves (it’s mostly not, it’s the fact that this could still end up funding israeli publishers) i think it’s a little strange to be pro palestine and then not address this at all? idk food for thought.
@ghvstwriterr
ultimately this post was not intended to bash the authors, but rather to create pressure on them to at least say something and maybe provide a way forward.
like your need to place those boys on pedestals as if their lives mean more than anyone else’s needs to be studied. worshipping people who don’t even you exist over the thousands being slaughtered everyday is actually so pathetic.
as a follow up, i have been informed that that fundraiser ended so that’s why it was taken out of her bio. in any case, she’s never spoken up for palestine and has yet to address working with an israeli publisher.

@FairyLoot
writing about israel (in a way that recognises it as a state) + mentioning the so called hardship of being israeli in the book as well as staying silent during this period is enough i think. at best, she’s ignorant and complacent and i’d rather put that energy elsewhere
why is it so hard to explain business deals with israel = bad. idc what the circumstances are, im boycotting you out of principle for the palestinians who are facing the most horrible of atrocities every day. books can wait. their lives cannot.
that list was made with the intention of providing up to date info on authors’ stance, which a lot of us want. to directly call out someone who hasn’t done anything wrong is so weird to me. you could’ve easily messaged/commented not whatever this was. take this down.
@strictlyjiara
@leaurnaur
unfortunately we live in a world where politicians don’t give a shit. however, by raising awareness, which includes celebrities, we make it the norm to call out such systems. also celebrities should def be called out for not saying anything. they’d be nothing without fans
@J1nkxx
@D0ROG4YA
spoken like a true brit. also you literally cannot claim that this has nothing to do with you. you know britain helped form the settle colony state of israel right? read about the balfour declaration and call your MPs instead of saying shit like “we can’t do anything” yes u can!!
@softpoetrysound
“complex issues” what is so complex honestly? and she’s denounced israel before as a jew. yet in the height of when palestinians not just in gaza are being affected, she can’t even take a stance to normalise supporting palestine? she has a platform.
i am BEGGING you lot to grow a backbone. 8 months in and you really want to downplay this woman using her platform which, correct me if i am wrong, has not once used for palestine within the last 8 months, but can for this zionist pos sjm??? i need you to stand all the way UP
just say you hate women and go wallah, what’s the point of this thread? to encourage sisters in higher education to stop with no evidence to back up your claims? do you know there’s something called rizq and qadr??? if you’re uncomfortable by educated women that’s a YOU issue.
may Allah curse those egyptian officials asking for even more money to the deepest, hottest depths of hell along with the israelis. may your soul not know once second of peace, muslim or not, you have failed. shame on you. (say ameen!!)
mariam is a 19 year old trying to raise funds to evacuate her parents + two siblings in rafah. if 2735 people can donate $18 she will be able to have the funds needed to evacuate her remaining family. please donate and boost!! <3 this was posted 4 days ago
@cinemaries
why are people praising her when she could literally donate money herself? im sorry we’re talking about taylor swift right?? the first “ethical billionaire” or whatever? i also feel like this sneaking around is so weird. she’s so outspoken about voting but a genocide?? screw her

she is a zionist because she a) recognises israel as a state, simple as. her visiting through birthright adds insult to injury. her having family who are settlers and who she praises does not help. she has never spoken up about palestine and if you consider yourself pro palestine
@TradeDebater
@gayhouse90
*their
god you can’t spell for shit can you
+to quote you, you said “Hey you’re queer, why don’t you go move to Palestine!” but now you’re saying they should immigrate back to israel. which is it? or are you just regurgitating the same shit you hear rather than using your brain?
to add to this, if an author was going to give such rep, it’d have to be a muslim author. sorry but you lot love to have your non practising muslims paint our religion bad + reference it in such a 2D way like just say you’re not interested in doing your research bc it shows
My hot take is that a completely non practising muslim in your book is not actually muslim representation. Like at that point you’re just using the title of “muslim” to get representation brownie points
@softpoetrysound
is it on the shoulders of palestinians only to rally people up about what is happening? men, women, children and the elderly being starved, blown up, kidnapped, tortured and she can’t even stand in solidarity? it’s too hard to find verified sources?
@SydneyBerzatto
@parkwoodfilms
you cant apply normal situational logic to this. me liking a photo thats cringe just bc i like the person who posted it cannot be compared to liking a post trying to say that this genocide is soooo complex and spreading misinformation. she has a brain. stop infantilising people.
please amplify this post. ahmad is currently trying to raise funds to get six of his twelve family members to evacuate, which include his younger siblings and his parents. if 3671 people can donate just $8 they’ll be able to make their goal. please boost!
can you guys make dua that i part ways naturally with this one person. they keep talking to me about a two state solution and like ik it’s hard for people from uncolonised countries to see how colonisers don’t deserve anything but we’re 4 months and 75 years in. wake up.
seeing some moots receive the you deserve the whole world dedication and their reactions are v wholesome (i will not confirm nor deny this is simply an observation) thank you, that is all
here’s a reminder to
#booktwt
that if you continue to talk about a zionist author even if you pirate their books it still counts as supporting them because it is giving their books and them attention. if you want to boycott don’t talk about those books at all even if you haven’t
oh ew. please do not follow me if you are antisemitic, there is no place for that on my page and shame on you for saying such statements about jews who advocate for a free palestine. we are on the same page. do better.
@4Kiml_
@yungirang
@etheralfem
it’s not nonsense though bc this literally goes against islam. if you care, please look into it but immediately saying there’s no space for the hijab bc of these misguided people creates more harm than good
@4Kiml_
@yungirang
@etheralfem
except it is. also you do know muslims believe that other religions such as judaism were given God’s revelation too. that doesn’t change the fact that it is something muslims practice. what’s your proof for denying otherwise?
“palestine stuff” is crazy. no one’s holding a gun to your head forcing you to talk about this babes, but thanks for making it obvious that you don’t care. in ramadan as well. palestinians deserve so much better than y’all fr
and this is why I stopped posting about Palestine stuff.
there is a ton of misinformation being spread right now that is easily refutable, but when you refute it, you just get ignored and even attacked.
I'm done. For real.
please also spread and donate to heba and her family, who are seeking funds to leave gaza and to receive treatment for her father, her niece, and little brother adam who has cerebral palsy. they’ve almost reached half of their goal so please boost!!
seeing so many moots not really participating in the strike, ik the circumstances are different this time but is it really hard to limit posts on book/other content?
boosting, please donate to Allam’s gfm!! he has currently raised a little over half of his goal, but we still have €4795 left to raise. if 685 people can donate €7, his goal will be reached! please share and donate if u can x
using this as a “you guys can’t critique me ive been doing this for years!!” clearly not well enough. idc how old you started this whole thread’s pointless. u could’ve just said “i personally don’t think this works” and left it at that, but to justify your inaction is gross
@TradeDebater
@gayhouse90
what do you think free palestine means?? palestinians want to go back to their land but can’t bc of israel. and then u lot come in with the “oh but it’s Israel’s land, they deserve to be kicked out” so what is it?? do us all a favour and wake up for real before speaking on this
@softpoetrysound
every single person with a platform deserves to be held accountable for their silence because that same silence is already causing palestinians, arabs and muslims to be targeted. to simply brush away any good she could do because of the one time she screwed up is insane
just a quick reminder if you or someone else are reminded of the smp boycott can you take your post down? i keep seeing people being told and they reply and say sorry! won’t speak on it again!
… okay babes but please delete your tweet and repost it without the book?
you do not NEED to be reading these books. and if you still want to is it so hard to do so on a priv account? is it so hard to show solidarity in the most easiest of ways? you lot come on here and act like we want some big display of heroic action. we just want pressure.
@coffee_addict73
you and everyone commenting their support or agreement should be ashamed. continuing to platforming this woman and her work considering what’s happening in palestine. have you no compassion? is it so hard to not read and platform works that are tied to zionists?
it’s ramadan so i won’t insult you, but by God i hope that your energy is met with the true anger of Allah. how privileged you are to lecture others on how they should be grateful over “aid”. i would like to see you swap the recurring lunch of your choice with this everyday
The most ungrateful people on earth. They will always repay you with insults and disrespect.
When I relocated to the UK, I ate the same meal for lunch for about six months to save money. It was my money. I did what I needed to do, and didn't complain for a minute. Could have
you lot need to leave this man alone. get off your privileged high horse and be thankful that you’ll never have to go through the things he did. like that same energy of yours could be used to call out zionists yet you sit around in your house and go after a palestinian???
please donate and share widely, we still have not met our short term goal of €35,000 and are currently €2035 away. if 407 people donate €5 we’ll be able to get there. or if 81 people donate €25 we’ll be able to get there. please share!! x
@softpoetrysound
i’m not either! it’s just i keep having these discussions and it’s baffling to me that people are not placing palestinians first. i could care less about this woman who built her career off of stories that she can’t even empathise with irl
i just love women so much. thank god im not a man because friendships are just so beautiful and i love you all and you’re all so smart and talented and i just pray for your successes and happiness always 😭
DEAR MUTUALS,
my dear friend
@zinh_1
in gaza really needs your help, and she needs it now. she's so close to her 60k goal, a little less than 8k, but donations are slowing. Her family is sick, and needs proper medical care.
i’d like to add for those defending him: he made his stance clear. going on a show that is v well known to act out a “joke” he could have easily refused to partake in. him now wearing a jumper to… what? “show he’s on the right side of history”?? if he truly cared, he’d say so
@coffee_addict73
you cannot seprerafe the art from the artist yourself out of this babe. this woman’s work is literally funding a genocide. if you don’t support what she stands for then take the post down. read whatever you want but stop posting it online. or idk read a better book!
i really don’t care that he hates tcp but it’s so weird that people told him not to read iron flame and he still did and even put it in a video. thanks so much jack
you guys better not hate on jack for this bc he’s right ! also everyone saying “he hasn’t read the rest of the series” you can still dislike a book even if the rest of the series is better
⚠️‼️I hope everyone will participate and donate in order to collect $2,500 for each of Ayham and his brother who will be born at any time❤️ 🙏 Until Ayham and his brother travel with their mother to Egypt and leave the Gaza Strip💔
this fundraiser is for yousef
@YousefoKhrais
and his family to evacuate out of Gaza. if 2473 people can donate £10 they’ll be able to reach their goal. also please boost and share as this link will expire after 20 days!! x
yk i feel sorry for some of you for having to resort to mere speculation (because wtf is coming out to openly declare your support for a people being killed when you’ve previously easter egg-ed your way into activism) instead of having role models who do, in fact, use their fame
@lifewasawlw
@sadfoxqueen
@PanPrincess1997
she literally went to a fundraiser for palestine and wore the colors of the Palestinian flag just in off shades so it wasn’t blantently obvious..
@LoveCanBurn0ut
mourning over a relationship that ended a whole decade ago instead of people who are currently being killed, are you not embarrassed? actually nvm ur whole page is a cry for attention, no wonder you tweeted this. why don’t you do everyone a favour and deactivate? no one’ll miss u
alhamdulillah layla survived, but please let’s make sure she and her family doesn’t have to go through this any longer🙏🏼♥️please donate & share her campaign so she can evacuate gaza. time is ticking
some of you whites need to pipe the fuck down and stop defending zionists over the tiniest stuff. they said they dont mean it? they’re pro peace? it’s no to zionist authors all day everyday. if you are not for that, guess what?? you’re a zionist sympathiser i dont make the rules
saw on tiktok and thought i would boost please donate and share widely!! if just 491 people donate $45 they will reach their goal. and please keep them in your prayers! x

like the flag you have in your dn suggests, then you can give up one mediocre white woman’s work. if you have not done the research or do not have the sense to boycott, you have no place in our fight for Palestine’s liberation. your heart isn’t fully in it. get some perspective
i’m just saying why post something if you can’t handle the heat of getting called out for your weird values. like just say you’re a zionist sympathiser with your chest
there are multiple horrible things going on. they all need our attention. if you’re muslim you should be speaking on every injustice, not cherry picking which ones you advocate for. use your energy elsewhere. sof isn’t doing anything wrong here by educating, you are.
@folkoftheshelf
And nope...I don't report u on your confusing gender/sexuality. But your making this West Papua thread in every single moment we have to focus on Gaza Genocide. West Papua is a sensitive issues that you should know properly before telling others.
@softpoetrysound
it has been 196 days now. you’re telling me in all those 196 days she couldn’t have even said one thing? not even a “free palestine”? it’s too hard for her even to post a flag to her story? mental health is serious to me too but what about palestinians?
ik it’s strike week next week for palestine, but for those in london please do also try to attend the protest for sudan on sunday! and for those outside please check dates of when protests are happening for sudan and congo as well! x
