The collection of writing, I Am Still Alive: Dispatches from Gaza, by poet and culture worker Mahmoud Al-Shaer is a searing testimony written over the past year and a half from inside Gaza. With breathtaking lucidity and devastating intimacy, Al-Shaer uses his voice to record the quotidian Palestinian struggle while resisting erasure and bearing witness to unbearable loss and violence.

The book is dedicated to the author’s three-year-old twins, Majd and Nai, with all proceeds from its sale going directly to his family.

The dispatches gathered in this book offer far more than a chronicle of destruction; with composure and clarity, Al-Shaer offers readers a vital affirmation of presence, relation, and survival. From the wreckage of homes and futures, the author builds a shelter with language itself. His writing—raw, lyrical, and defiant—refuses the daily cruelties imposed by the ongoing war, demanding instead that the world face these atrocities as their own. On every page, Al-Shaer relays an ethical insistence: I am still alive.

“The tragedy,” James Baldwin once observed regarding the condition of the world, “is that most of the people who say they care about it do not care. What they care about is their safety and their profits.”

In the decades since Baldwin’s words, artists, writers, and thinkers around the world have continued to call for more attentive, expansive, and radical practices of care—even as capitalist cultures have tightened their grip on life through security, accumulation, and disposability. In an era marked by disorientation and systemic crises, Pensées soignées proposes writing and translation not just as literary acts, but as modes of relation, resistance, and repair.

If thought seems helpless, perhaps it is because it has forgotten how to care—for the world, for others, for itself. What does it mean to think as an act of care? What does it mean to bandage, to tend, to hold open the possibility of recovery?

In The Immense Regression, the first volume of his two-part philosophical opus What Is Called Caring?, Bernard Stiegler returns to the existential question of care as the most urgent task of thinking in the Anthropocene. Masterfully translated by his longtime friend and collaborator Daniel Ross, this is Stiegler at his most provocative, timely, and necessary.

Lithium, copper, uranium, child labor, and the deep sea—resource extraction is one of today’s most contested terrains. EURO—VISION: Undergrounding the Critical Mineral asks not only where and what is mined, but what counts as extraction at all. Developed by FRAUD with Michaela Büsse, the book uncovers hidden infrastructures and value systems that define minerals as “critical,” revealing the violence behind data and the resistances and relations embedded in matter itself.
