Weekly Roundup - 5/08/23
This week: In our Rest issue “Office Hours,” Jesse Rabinowitz talks with Donald Whitehead, the executive director of the National Coalition for the Homeless, about the difficulty of resting while houseless.
From the newsletter, contributing writer Elisheva Goldberg explores how protests at the World Zionist Congress against Israel’s proposed judicial overhaul demonstrate the limits of the forum. And in a new comic, Jett Allen explores the disappointment of claiming Yentl, Barbara Streisand’s 1983 classic film, as a trans narrative.
