Jewish comedian and actor Brett Gelman, 47, spoke passionately at the Nov. 14 “March for Israel” on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., about how he lost friends over his Zionism after Hamas’s Oct. 7 terrorist attack on Israel.
Because of that stance, the star of the Netflix hit series “Stranger Things” says certain bookstores have canceled events on a tour to promote his new fiction collection, The Terrifying Realm of the Possible: Nearly True Stories.
He said two venues have pulled out “due to antisemitic intimidation,” adding “but I have not. I won’t be silenced and neither will the Jewish people,” Gelman wrote on social media.
He shared a graphic identifying the Book Stall, in Winnetka, Ill., and Book Passage in San Francisco as the stores in question. The events were slated for March 20 and 21, respectively.
“I definitely believe it’s because of my vocal support of Israel and because of the fact that I’m Jewish,” Gelman told the New York Post. “I think that this is a completely antisemitic act.”
J. The Jewish News of Northern California interviewed Bill Petrocelli, a Book Passage co-owner, who said the store canceled the event due to Gelman’s “intemperate and ill-advised remarks that he made against some other ethnic and social groups.” The owner did not specify which comments he meant.
“I don’t think it’s helpful for me to go into any detail about the comments Mr. Gelman made that prompted our decision,” Petrocelli told the J. For that matter, he added that many of the bookstore’s staff members are Jewish.
Gelman’s publicist told the paper that isn’t true.
“I have never said anything against an ethnic or social group,” said the actor through his publicist. “I have repeated multiple times that I am horrified over the deaths of innocent Palestinians and feel deeply for all innocents affected. So it seems as if Mr. Petrocelli is proving himself to be antisemitic by saying that me advocating for the self-determination, safety and humanity of my own people equates to disparaging Palestinians.”

Christmas Market local event #bookstall #christmas
Christmas Market local event #bookstall #christmas
Yesterday I ventured out into the cold to run a bookstall with a fellow author, GJ Stevens. It was a local town event – Ashford Wide Christmas Fair (Surrey). We got there super early and were one of the first stalls to set up in our row. We’re attended several times in the last few years, but this year I was hoping it would be a little different as I’m attending with my first ever collection of…

it continues to baffle me how many readers advocate for the show entirely cutting the andoran succession arc, aka elayne's ONE big Main Character storyline that she leads herself (vs. being a sidekick in nynaeve's storylines). what would you do if i started advocating for cutting mat forming the band of the red hand? you wouldn't be so happy about that, would you? well, that's the equivalent of what you're suggesting for elayne, just gutting her entire arc and reducing her to a secondary character.
some readers really need to learn that "i don't like this storyline" doesn't automatically equal "this storyline is just unimportant filler that can and should be cut from the show" (and that "i like this storyline" doesn't automatically equal "this storyline is crucial to the series as a whole and the show will be unwatchable if it's cut")

tagged by @herbs-and-poultices to post my last sentence written / tag as many people as there are words in the sentence / &c!
I've been a bit out of it when it comes to writing for the last While, and so I think this is the last bit I wrote, off the sharpe/jsamn crossover:
The man stared down at him. Harris stared back, suddenly desperate to know if a moth-eaten rabbit’s-foot luck charm would have any effect at all on a magician.
that, as usual, is too many words, so I shall merely tag @sanguinarysanguinity, @dxppercxdxver, @tgarnsl, @cedarboots, @lacomandante, @dotsayers, and @baronetcoins, if you'd like to share?

having been a kid who read a lot but borrowed like 90% of their books from the library kinda sucks because now I'll be like "oh rereading *book* would be cool" but can I ? no because I don't own it and usually don't even remember the name

the more I listen to new audios with Braxiatel in them (and relisten to old ones) as part of the Year of Braxiatel, the more and more I am just genuinely unsure of what I think about him.

“She entreats, but I, Miss Stirling,”—Dr. Stalling remembered that he was an ambassador of Jehovah—“I command. As your pastor and spiritual guide, I command you to come home with me—this very day. Get your hat and coat and come now.”
Religious abuse one of the worst things you can do. It’s a whole other layer of “to defy me is to defy God and put your soul in eternal peril” and it’s sick.
