I was looking for a trace, a whiff, a rumor—anything that would bring alive the greatest guitarist you’d never heard about.
‘I was looking for a trace, a whiff, a rumor—anything that would bring alive the greatest guitarist you’d never heard about.’ @osmansamiuddin.bsky.social writes, brilliantly, in Guernica about chasing a forgotten musical legend from Karachi. I’m proud to have edited it.

Dr. Laila Soueif is on day 120 of hunger strike to demand the release of
her son, Alaa Abdel Fattah, who is being unlawfully detained. Her health is in critical danger.
Today, I’m taking part in the 80-day relay hunger strike in solidarity with her.

Borders were created to exclude. The immigration system is hostile and racist by design. 👏🏽
Don’t waste your time deciding which migrants are “deserving” or not—a recognition of human dignity is the bare minimum we should all be able to expect.

For best results use mythological rather than figurative chimera: flambé the goat part with lion breath and eat on platters made of snake skin.

A photo I posted of graffiti in Syria in 2014.
"One day the war will be over and I will return to my poem"
I hope they will return to their poem

She has the loveliest face. I’m very glad to see her in a moment where she sees you. X
