How is Arabic gum financing the war in Sudan? - “The trade has … traditionally [been] quite opaque, and there are no clear figures,” Joris van de Sandt, a researcher with Dutch peace organisation PAX, told Al Jazeera aje.io/gr1tfo @AJEnglish

The International Court of Justice will open public hearings in the genocide case brought by the Gambia against Myanmar next week. Here is the first of what I hope will be a series of analytical pieces on some technical legal issues which the Court may wish to address.

Nice idea for a paan shaped spacecraft there Olivia Tonge (1858-1949)

Went to a Vietnamese place (next to the print shop) on Leith Walk. Used to be a fruit & veg shop that didn't accept card. Good for stew weather!!

Kpop demon hunters felt nationalistic and orientalist 🤔 I didn't expect it to be "anti American" (Psy's iconic "Kill Those Fucking Yankees") with the group's origin story instead they took the "traditional" approach Reminds me of Bengal School of Art's nationalism + orientalism from 1900s

Process as resistance: Material processes interrupt efficiency, resist standardisation, and make failure visible. It's tempting to treat those qualities as problems to be solved. But they can also be understood as forms of resistance—against speed, against clarity, against total control.

When you commit to a process that is slow, temperamental, or materially demanding, you are not just choosing a technique. You are choosing a way of processing information- Alternative Processes

This man really stood up for Bengalis, around the size of Jersey were made doubtful citizens overnight in the NRC 2020 list. Meanwhile the ba*gla p*kko guy was making apology video for those b*n*al kh*d*o bigots. If they're talking about SIR now its tx to him

I haven't been diligent about publicizing this but I'm still a few hundred dollars short of being able to travel to Mexico for the Under the Volcano writing workshop. New visa laws (there's more...) continue to jeopardize my life and finances. Pls share this post if you can 🙏🏽💙🙏🏽 gofund.me/3c835f814

Cycling UK excluding trans women from their 100 Women in Cycling Award was unnecessary and discriminatory. Went for a solidarity ride with others today

Read this research from Palestinian scholar Razan Shawamreh that critically unpacks the disconnect between Chinese politicians' lofty rhetoric on Palestinian sovereignty and Chinese corporations' ongoing assistance in expanding illegal Israeli settlements. lausancollective.com/2025/china-a...

Antheraea moths painted by Bengali artist Sheikh Zainuddin (1777) Butterfly nature print by Sherman Denton (1900). Nature print was considered a more accurate reproduction than painting with the aim of removing the artist from the process altogether. IDK man. The painter let the butterflies fly

Saw an academic on Bengali ghosts plug an AI image for their talk. Talk to artists! Manisha Nashkar's series is so good www.instagram.com/manisha.nask...

Think there maybe some overlap with nature printing enthusiasts from 15th-19th C wanting the most faithful copy of nature without any human intervention and end goal of AI to eliminate even the prompter in reproducing an image of the mind so to speak. Nature Printing later gave rise to the camera

From my personal experience reporting a hindutva event to my local MP as a member of public- you will be grilled about your "agenda" which means that a corporate lobbyist has already met with them

Want to make a nature print zine based on a workshop I did with a 6 yr old- initiated her to potato printing, looked at Benjamins (nature print currency from the late 1700s) combined Ebru (ink marbling) & botanical prints into narrative illustrations

Loranthus nature print by Thomas Horsfield (1773-1859) an American EIC officer in Java, early 19th century herbariumworld.wordpress.com/2015/03/28/t...

In the very long history of nature printing, it becomes a snapshot of Empires in the middle I imagine it moved away from being collaborative (tho not equal) when for eg. East India Company went from being a trading organisation to being a political and military power in South Asia.

Paper marbling should be seen as a photograph of water. I don't see photography as a stable record, an archive, more like a living surface. In this regard I agree with Alternative Processes

#ChildrensBook Alert🎇 This is How I Draw is an incredible illustrator led workbook from Canato Jimo, published by Pratham Books. Stoked to be a part of an incredible roster of artists, and a children’s book that centers the illustrator (pic by Bijal) storyweaver.org.in/en/stories/6...
