Okay. I have completely changed my analysis of this one.

It's not from
ليلة أمس
but
عشاء أمس.

3išt ams 'yesterday evening'
> 3ištāmis (vowel lengthening)
> 'ištāmis (loss of ع)
> 'ištāmis ~ istāmis (sibilant harmony!)
> 'ištām ~ istām (clipping)

talking to some people and it's incredibly clear they spend most of their time on twitter/bsky lol

more Syria

I love waiting on the water heater to warm up so I can take a lukewarm shower

waiting for the water to heat up a tiny bit with the 2 hours of gov electricity

shit I loved bopping to this in college

bloo sky in Damascus

Every place in Lebanon:

"Wow you speak Arabic"
"Chinese???"
"Where in the gulf did you learn Arabic"
"Syria???"

I just wanna scroll in mena

in retrospect going on vacation and immediately disabling my screen time blockers on twitter/bluesky/ig is a revealed pref

I think we fail to see the potential of an English speaking social media app without the yanks

the cleansing power of smoking a shisha and playing cards

I am like 5-10 years away from moving back to the celestial kingdom and hoping the doors close so I can be unfazed by the barbarians outside

blooo sky (Beirut)

mold bug interview same day TikTok ban....

entire type of guy who reads too much news and then ends up quoting it back to you at a bar

i can't wait to be stinky in damascus

there's this blatant materialism that rears its head whenever there's a conflict where people claim the "real reason" is some kind of resources (metals in greenland, gas blocks off of gaza, etc), as if conflicts all conflicts can be boiled down to some kind of resource conflict

software yubikey

I don't need a new mate system, I do need a new bombilla :(

about to drown my 30's in russian o7

honestly I am a little shocked by how good the 15in macbook air is...coming from a 2017 thinkpad this feels like seeing the future

I finally replaced my thinkpad with a m3 macbook air and I gotta say...the mac is pretty good lmao

lol I had the vanity of looking up hotels before just deciding "fuck it I'll find a place to sleep when I cross the border"

just learned that karumbe in guarani means turtle/tortuga which I guess should've been obvious since karumbe is obviously not a spanish word but widely used in Uruguay lol

flailing around desperately trying not to break my mils of messages a second service
