From the River to the Sea collects personal testimonies from within Gaza and the West Bank, along with essays and interviews that collectively provide crucial histories and analyses to help us understand how we got to the nightmarish present. They place Israel’s genocidal campaign within the longer history of settler colonialism in Palestine, and Hamas within the longer histories of Palestinian resistance and the so-called ‘peace process’. They explore the complex history of Palestine’s relationship to Jordan, Egypt, and the broader Middle East, the eruption of unprecedented anti-Zionist Jewish protest in the US, the alarming escalation in state repression of Palestine solidarity in Britain and Europe, and more. Taken together, the essays comprising this collection provide important grounding for the urgent discussions taking place across the Palestine solidarity movement.

Happy Spring! I've just released my newest quarterly chapbook, Habitat Restoration: What It Is, Why It’s Important, and How to Get Started.
Habitat loss is the single biggest cause of species becoming endangered or extinct. Thankfully, we can help our local animals, plants, and other beings by restoring their habitat–even in our own backyards, gardens, and porches! Get the basics of what you need to know about:
What habitat restoration is
Why it’s important
How to get started
Troubleshooting your restoration project
Further resources
Whether you’re an experienced gardener wanting to grow native plants, or a nature-lover trying to make your corner of the world a little better place, this book will get you started on your own small-scale habitat restoration project.
You can get the ebook for free right now by signing up for my monthly email newsletter at https://rebeccalexa.com/news-updates/. Or if you want to purchase a paperback, it's available for just $6 plus shipping at https://rebeccalexa.com/habitat-restoration/

please help a disabled author?
I was just on hold with the government for ten hours trying to get (some of) my benefits renewed.
I did not get my benefits renewed.
If people buy my (incredibly queer, weird, fantasy/SF/horror) short stories, I can get off benefits, and then I will not have to be on the phone with the government for ten hours.
And you get cool short stories.

Looking for some fabulous free ebooks to load up on this winter? Go check out the catalog at Global Grey Ebooks, a huge archive of public domain texts. Search by subject, author, title, or keyword, or browse one of the pre-existing categories such as Fiction, Folklore and Mythology, History, or Poetry. I know my fellow witches will want to check out the Esotericism and the Occult section!
You can pick and choose as many titles as you want or purchase a pre-curated selection that covers a particular topic. (The zipped ebook collections make great gifts for bookworm friends from far away!) All proceeds go to supporting the continued existence of the archive, which is maintained by a single tireless worker bee. If you like what you see, please consider donating.
(Keep in mind while browsing that this is an ARCHIVE and these are OLD books. Some texts may contain material that we now know to be objectionable. I would encourage everyone to read critically and to view them as a window into the past and a marker for how far we've come.)
I've been using Global Grey Ebooks for several years now to locate and read hard-to-find ebooks on history and occultism. This is a fabulous resource for anyone with an interest in history, folklore, classical fiction, or classical literature in general.
Check out Global Grey Ebooks and start adding to your personal library today!

Yo, Quick PSA. I want to tell y'all about Standard Ebooks, ive been really loving them as of late and thought this would be of interest to my followers
Since 2015 these people have been turning public domain ebooks from project gutenberg into beautiful ebooks that have a nice cover, standardized typing and structure and work well on almost all e-readers and e-book apps.
This is by far the best way to read some of these books. Look through their catalog and see if you find something you like.

Books Unbanned
Just learned about this initiative started by the Brooklyn Public Library that provides free non-residential library cards to teens and young adults ages 13-26 in the United States.
It was inspired by the American Library Association's Freedom to Read statement and is geared toward fighting censorship, which is most often targeted within the teen audience at Black and LGBTQIA+ works.
The libraries below have followed the Books Unbanned initiative. Most offer a special library card that allows access each library's respective collection of contested books. As the available books are mainly e-books and audiobooks, the cards are perfect for use with Libby, a free e-book app that connects to your library.
How to Get a Books Unbanned Library Card
Brooklyn Public Library - Email the address provided to begin the application. (Not much info online.)
Seattle Public Library - Fill out the form at the bottom of the page. Allows access to their e-books and audiobooks. Allows 10 loans (21 days) & 5 holds. Card expires after 1 year but can be renewed.
Los Angeles County Library - Only available to residents of California. Fill out the form on the page. Allows access to their Books Unbanned e-book and audiobook collection. Allows 5 loans (21 days). Card expires after 1 year but can be renewed.
San Diego Public Library - Click the button and fill out the form. Allows access to their Books Unbanned e-book and audiobook collection. Allows 3 loans & 3 holds. Card never expires.
Boston Public Library - Click the button and fill out the form. Allows access to their Books Unbanned e-book and audiobook collection. Allows 10 loans (14 days) and 10 holds. Card expires after 1 year but can be renewed.
If you're over 26 and can't participate but support all of this, consider donating these libraries, donating to your local library, requesting frequently-challenged books at your library, etc. Let's all read something we love this year. ❤️

Publishing books on the struggle for justice in Palestine has been a central part of Haymarket’s mission since we published our first book, The Struggle for Palestine, in 2001. Now as ever, we recognize the root cause and ongoing perpetrator of violence in Palestine to be Israeli settler-colonialism and apartheid, and we stand in solidarity with Palestinians in their struggle for freedom.
Haymarket Books are making three ebooks free to download:
Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions: The Global Struggle for Palestinian Rights, by Omar Barghouti
Light in Gaza: Writings Born of Fire, Edited by Jehad Abusalim, Jennifer Bing, and Mike Merryman-Lotze
Palestine: A Socialist Introduction, Edited by Sumaya Awad and Brian Bean

Now as ever, we recognize the root cause and ongoing perpetrator of violence in Palestine to be Israeli settler-colonialism and apartheid, and we stand in solidarity with Palestinians in their struggle for freedom.
We also believe that books, as tools for education, analysis, combatting misinformation, and inspiration, have a vital role to play in the global Palestine solidarity movement. In that spirit, we’ve made three crucial books free to download
