// The heading about covers it
Palestine’s submission to the Oscars // 22 filmmakers trapped in Gaza bring to life the stories behind the numbers in headlines. 22 different stories of life’s fragility and the resilience of love in the face of devastation. To create something this incredible under genocide is another testament to the ingenuity and bravery of the Palestinian people.
// Come fangirl with me
Hum Dekhenge by Ali Sethi // One more addition to the gift that is Ali Sethi’s renditions of celebrated poetry.
Tann Mann Neel O Neel // Don’t know what’s happening with that title but this upcoming show ft. Sehar Khan and Shuja Asad looks very fun. Also has some other stellar names like Nadia Afgan and Sammiya Mumtaz. More of this genre on the small screen pls.
// News I care about, and you should too
Environmental impact of genocide // As of June 2024, 652,552 tonnes of carbon dioxide has been emitted during Israel's genocide in Gaza - equal to burning 1.5 million barrels of oil.
// Events, opportunities, and more on my radar
Parachinar fundraising // The Shias of Parachinar have repeatedly been under attack this year. Zahra Trust is on the ground providing critical aid to the wounded and bereaved families of the most recent wave of anti-Shia violence. Please donate.
Ikigai @ Olomopolo // Ikigai is perfoming a Coldplay tribute show at Olomopolo, Lahore, on the 13th of December.

// This deserves some love
AafatInfo // Previously known as TabahiNaqsha, AafatInfo is a collaborative, real-time web app for disaster information-sharing. By gathering, sorting, and displaying live reports of on-ground disaster conditions, they enable citizens to stay informed and safe. The illustrations for this by Hafsa Ashfaq are also so yum.
Banaras, Bombay // Whenever I get my ever-delayed Fuji camera, this is the style of photography I want to be doing.
// Favs from the design multiverse
American War Propaganda Leaflets // Need to get my hands on this collection of American propaganda leaflets distributed by the CIA in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya between the years of 1990 and 2022 asap.
// Things so far unsaid
Nothing else for today. Until the next one, shab bakhair 🌅🤍
