There is still time (24 hours!) to bid on the Authors for eSims auction. All shipping will be covered by the authors. Thank you to Thea Lim and Jody Chan for organizing, with the support of T. Liem.

In a time when moving basic resources like food and cash into Gaza has become virtually impossible due to Israel's ongoing bombardment and blockading of aid, eSims have remained a direct and accessible site of support. More about Crips for eSims for Gaza (a project organized and begun by me, Alice Wong, and Leah Lakshmi-Piepzna Samarasinha). 

People can bid on 170+ very cool items like a draft of an Eden Robinson novel, signed books from Billy-Ray Belcourt, Jessica Johns, David Chariandy, Danez Smith, Robyn Maynard and Leanne Betasamosake Simpson's Rehearsals for Living, and many naming rights. Also some incredible new releases like Natalie Lim's Elegy for Opportunity and Terese Mason Pierre's Myth. And from me: a 10 page manuscript consultation + behind the poem, as well as a slightly water-damaged copy of echolalia echolalia + battle-worn copy of Alice Wong's Disability Intimacy (do not leave the orange your friend gave you in your bag with a new book for several days 😅…).
