I have been quiet on Heritage vandalism for sometime. But yesterday once again one felt pain for the future of this city #Karachi. In 2019 powerful builder came to me to ask for NOC to help him construct highrise on this site, which is railway property. I refused. 1/7
It’s been 3+ years since the shopkeepers of Karachi's Empress Market had their livelihoods upended. Where are they now? Over the years, I kept in touch with one of them. For @GuernicaMag, one of the most heartbreaking stories I’ve ever reported. guernicamag.com/the-end-of-the…
Let me say this, if Naomi Osaka, or Serena Williams acted in the way Novak Djokovic has acted in the past couple weeks- the tennis association would be sharpening their knives. They hung Osaka out to dry because she missed a couple pressers, meanwhile on Djokovic...(crickets).

A drama serial called #sangemah has started on Hum TV in which the profiling of Pashtuns is being tried once again. In the very first episode of the play, a bad character man who commits heinous crime like Ghag is wearing a Manzoor Pashtun hat & a woman 1/2 #StopPashtunProfiling
Please record the awkward moment when you tell them you’ve spent most of your career campaigning to have people from Eastern Europe deported.😉

#sangemah adding itself to a long line of literature/media perpetuating colonial Pakhtun stereotypes

In this longish essay for BBC Urdu, I argue for recognizing Bengali struggle as liberation movement, illegitimacy of Pakistani military's operation for its genocidal violence, and insist they apologize/hold trials for war crimes/reparative justice. bbc.com/urdu/regional-…
Both matches far from over, but if the future of cricket looks like Marnus Labuschagne and Shahnawaz Dhanani, it’s in very good hands
Remembering when bell hooks diagnosed the crisis of academic anthropology in a few choice paragraphs and got right back to the work of dismantling white supremacist capitalist patriarchy. A model for us all.
There's something very "on brand" about a group of senior #anthropologists writing a letter criticizing #decolonial scholarship, and then publishing that same letter behind a paywall. Thanks @WTFAnthro for posting screenshots of this hot mess!
Workers rejected several contracts before this one, blocking Kellogg’s attempt to cut off newer and future employees from attaining full-time pay and benefits. Veteran workers told us they wouldn’t “sell our souls” and abandon their younger colleagues.
THREAD: HRCP is concerned to learn that senior journalist Rana Abrar Khalid's request for information on gifts received by the Prime Minister from foreign governments has been blocked repeatedly by the Cabinet Division on the grounds that such information is classified.
Would you pay for a job application? How is paying for PhD applications so normalized, you’re working for the institution.

NEW: What's the deal with inflation? Turns out, it's mostly corporate greed. Starring @TheKaranMenon as all roles.
If you are a white scholar who has been invited to talk about Africa and you notice that there are no Africans on your panel or in the program you have a responsibility to 1) refuse, 2) call out the problem, and 3) demand that an African scholar take your place. Bare minimum!
Privacy of these children who are being publicly shamed for their family’s lack of access to contraception? We need a more dignified approach.
