I’m grateful for the people, words, and food that have nourished me over the years and the chance to share them with you, dear solver. At this moment, I’m also thinking of the Palestinians who have forgone Eid celebrations, who are still being starved by Israel, who are facing famine and genocide. Please consider matching my donation of $25 to this fundraiser by the Gaza Poets Society, which aims to provide food, life-saving supplies, and eventual evacuation for two young children.
