hi, i was wondering if you knew of a site or other resource that has palestinian poetry? i want to include some short poems by palestinian powts in my christmas cards this year and im finding it hard to find actual poems, rather than articles and the like *about* poetry. i hope this is ok to ask.
I'm not sure if there are places for Palestinian poetry only (if there are, please add on to the post) but here are some poetry/lit mags and orgs that I regularly check.
Mizna (I linked a set of poems by a Gazan poet)
RAWI (Radius of Arab American Writers)
Proteon (not arab/swana/palestinian centered but publishes a lot of Palestinian poets) I linked Heba Abu Nada's last poem below
Some Poets and Writers I like:
Refaat Alareer
Heba Abu Nada
Rasha Abdulhadi (they/them)
Samah Fadil
fargo nissim tbakhi
George Abraham
Mohammad Elkurd
Naomi Shihab Nye (linked my favorite poem of hers)
Lena Khalaf Tuffaha
Mosab Abu Toha
Rafeef Ziadah
There are definitely more that will come to mind later but for now, here are these.
If anyone wants to share some writers they like and where to find their poems add them to this list.

‘SNL 1975’ Finds Its Garrett Morris, Dan Aykroyd, Chevy Chase And John Belushi
By Justin Kroll, Anthony D'Alessandro January 30, 2024 10:00am
Tumblr media
Lamorne Morris playing Garrett Morris, Dylan O’Brien playing Dan Aykroyd, Cory Michael Smith playing Chevy Chase and Matt Wood playing John Belushi
EXCLUSIVE: Lamorne Morris, Dylan O’Brien, Cory Michael Smith and Matt Wood have joined the cast of Sony Pictures’ SNL 1975 that will be directed by Jason Reitman and based on the real-life behind the scenes accounts of the opening night of Saturday Night Live. Morris will play Garrett Morris, O’Brien will play Dan Aykroyd, Smith will play Chevy Chase, and Wood will play Belushi. The original screenplay is written by Reitman and Gil Kenan.
On October 11, 1975, a ferocious troupe of young comedians and writers changed television forever. SNL 1975 is the true story of what happened behind the scenes that night in the moments leading up to the first broadcast of NBC’s SNL. It depicts the chaos and magic of a revolution that almost wasn’t, counting down the minutes in real time to the infamous words, “Live from New York, it’s Saturday Night!”
The screenplay is based on an extensive series of interviews conducted by Reitman and Kenan with all the living cast members, writers and crew. Reitman, Kenan, Jason Blumenfeld, Erica Mills and Peter Rice are producing.
Morris can currently be seen in FX’s fifth season of Noah Hawley’s hit drama series Fargo as North Dakota Deputy Witt Farr. He joined the cast of Netflix’s Unstable for season two opposite Rob Lowe. Prior to this, he starred as the titular lead in the hybrid live-action/animated Hulu series Woke, inspired by the life and art of cartoonist Keith Knight.
O’Brien was most recently starring in Ponyboi, which premiered as one of ten films in the U.S. Dramatic Competition at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival. Up next, he will be seen in the feature films Caddo Lake, from the writing-directing team of Logan George and Celine Held and producer M. Night Shyamalan, and Anniversary, a thriller co-starring Diane Lane, Kyle Chandler, Zoey Deutch and Phoebe Dynevor. His other credits include Searchlight feature Not Okay from writer-director Quinn Shephard, the critically-acclaimed crime drama The Outfit, opposite Mark Rylance, Zoey Deutch, and Johnny Flynn; Paramount’s Love and Monsters and the popular Maze Runner franchise
Best known for his role on as the Riddler on the popular Fox series Gotham, Smith can currently be seen as Julianne Moore’s son in Todd Haynes’ May December. He most recently starred as Varian Fry in Anna Winger’s limited series Transatlantic opposite Gillian Jacobs and Corey Stoll for Netflix. Smith has also worked with Todd Haynes in both Carol (as private investigator Tommy Tucker) and Wonderstruck.
Wood has appeared in the original Broadway cast of Spongebob Squarepants and as husky kid icon Augustus Gloop in the Broadway First National Tour of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Television credits include Law and Order: SVU, Instinct and Difficult People.
Morris is represented by CAA, Entertainment 360, The Lede Company, and Myman Greenspan Fox Rosenberg Mobasser Younger & Light. O’Brien is repped by William Morris Endeavor Entertainment, Principal Entertainment LA, and Lichter, Grossman, Nichols, Feldman, Rogal, Shikora & Clark. Smith is repped by Circle of Confusion. Wood is repped by BRS/Gage Talent Agency.

A few days ago I received a message on FF.net. It went something like, "I know you've probably completely disappeared from the internet, but I loved Fargo and Chicago! I hope you come back some day!" Had to message them back and say, yeah I'm still here... I've written some more books on AO3... please check them out...
I wonder if this is an isolated instance or if there's a whole group of people who only know me from FF.net. Don't worry everyone I'll return one day with Fargo 3: In Space
(Side note, next year is Fargo's 10th anniversary. I've kicked around the idea of doing a re-edit of the entire work, slimming down some bloat, cleaning up some style, and releasing it as Fargo DX. Before, I shied away from this idea because I fear becoming George Lucas, but it becomes more appealing as time goes on. The problem with serial works is the lack of holistic perspective, and going back might lead to major improvements. I would keep the original version up, too.)

Just for fun, here's all the trivia that's not on IMDb which I could find on Sarah Vowell who is not only an author but is also best known as the voice of Violet Parr in the greatest superhero movie ever made, The Incredibles (2004).
Tumblr media
• Her favorite movies she gave in no particular order are The Nightmare Before Christmas, Amelie, Titus, The Godfather Part II, George A. Romero's Martin, Deep Red, The Deer Hunter and Fantasia.
• Her favorite TV shows she also gave in no particular order as well are The Twilight Zone, Breaking Bad, Seinfeld, Fargo, Burn Notice, Orange Is The New Black, The Expanse and even The Muppet Show.
• Vowell's favorite author is Michael Crichton, even going so far as to call him a "fucking genius" at what he does with The Andromeda Strain being one of her personal favorites.
• Vowell has expressed interest in both writing fiction, particularly in YA horror, and even yes, screenwriting, saying "I'm dying to write either one of those two but I just haven't found the right story or in the latter's case the right project".
• Has expressed and voiced dissatisfaction with how Incredibles 2 turned out, saying that while she loved voicing the role of Violet Parr again, she called the overall final product a "mediocre tonal mess that's just very bland and forgettable". In particular, she also wasn't a fan of how it threw out Violet's character development that culminated in her asking out Tony Rydinger.
Hey she's not wrong. Incredibles 2 fucking sucked.

Character Actress
Jan Clayton (August 26, 1917 – August 28, 1983)  Film, musical theater, and television actress. She starred in the popular 1950s TV series Lassie.
In May 1954, Clayton guest-starred in ABC's sitcom Where's Raymond?, starring Ray Bolger as a song-and-dance man, Raymond Wallace. She played Francine Tremont, an actress and wife of a banker.
In 1954, Clayton was one of the many guest stars in a television spectacular tribute to Rodgers and Hammerstein, The General Foods 25th Anniversary Show, which featured all the then-surviving stars (except Alfred Drake) of all the classic Broadway musicals that the team had written (1943–1954). Clayton and John Raitt, in full makeup and costume, performed "If I Loved You" (also known as the Bench Scene) from Carousel. It was the first opportunity for millions of viewers to see a scene from the musical, since none of the film versions of the Rodgers and Hammerstein stage musicals had yet been released. Clayton during this period also played herself in an appearance on Peter Lawford's short-lived NBC sitcom Dear Phoebe.
Clayton became known to TV audiences as the mother of Jeff Miller (Tommy Rettig) on the television series Lassie (a.k.a. Jeff's Collie in syndication reruns). Clayton played the first four seasons of Lassie, from September 1954 to December 1957, as Ellen Miller, a war widow living on her father-in-law's farm with her preteen son, Jeff, and her late husband's cantankerous old father, Gramps (played by the Canadian-born George Cleveland).
Clayton performed in the 1961 episode "The Prairie Story" on NBC's Wagon Train. The episode, written by Jean Holloway, examines how the harsh prairie causes havoc in the lives of some of the women on the wagon train. Robert Horton starred in this episode, which aired three months after the death of Ward Bond.
In the 1962 episode "St. Louis Woman" on NBC's The Tall Man, Clayton performed in the role of Janet Harper, a widow engaged to Tom Davis ( Canadian-born Russ Conway), a friend of Sheriff Pat Garrett (Barry Sullivan). While Tom is away from Lincoln, New Mexico, the setting of The Tall Man, on a cattle drive, Janet begins to show a romantic interest in Garrett. Roger Mobley appears in this episode as David Harper, Janet's young son.
In "The Man Who Wouldn't Die", a 1967 episode of the syndicated series Death Valley Days, Clayton was cast as the Margaret Wilbarger, the sister of Texas pioneer Josiah Wilbarger, who lived for 11 years after being scalped by the Comanche. Don Collier played Wilbarger, for whom Wilbarger County, Texas, is named, along with Wilbarger's brother.
Her other TV credits include: 
Your Show Time
Your Jeweler’s Showcase
Racket Squad
Matinee Theatre
The Millionaire
The Deputy
Tales of Wells Fargo
The Danny Thomas Show
Gunsmoke
