palestine-ish
might have burned a bridge today (called the ED of an arts org I hold near and dear to my heart "a coward" after he hemmed and hawed about the org's non-position on the genocide in Gaza while not actually using the word "Palestine" for about an hour) but apparently after I left the call it got a lot more productive so maybe I just took one for the team

@ingrid thank you, this is the slow grind of how change happens
palestine-ish
it's not even that I think a) arts orgs are some kind of tipping point that will change the trajectory or b) I even believe that this org has a ton to offer but they've been fundraising using POC and specifically Arab Muslim (and an antizionist Israeli who has been putting himself on the line a lot!) alums as evidence of their social justice bona fides and it just feels really gross! and I was mad!
