Not just any work, we also have a class on sex work!!! And sex workers!!! And pleasure!!!

[Craig Warmke @craigwarmke]

Or maybe a course that explores "feminist and sociological critiques [of work], asking what the modern work ethic values and exacts, what refusal looks like, and what it might mean to imagine life after work."

[Khadeeja Farooqui @K_deeja]

Clearly someone who has never read a Victorian novel...

[Craig Warmke @craigwarmke]

A course on Victorian novels sounds great. This one considers "how conceptions of gender, intrigues of sexuality, and fears of foreigners shape the imagination of the power and limit of money in the world that these three eminent Victorians inhabit and illuminate." Interesting.

@aycarmelamaria @Contagioradio1 @AlirioUribeMuoz @angelamrobledo @Col_Informa @COCAAY @centromemoria @MARTAGOMEZMUSIC Hello, I am trying to contact you about this photo. I am looking to republish it elsewhere.

[Khadeeja Farooqui @K_deeja]

@aycarmelamaria did you photograph a protest in Colombia on International Women's Day in 2016?

[Khadeeja Farooqui @K_deeja]

A Pakistani-American was murdered in Washington D.C. whilst doing his "essential workers" job in the middle of the global pandemic. Help his family raise money for the funeral https://t.co/poIs4R4Boa and spread the word against this injustice/racism/brutality.

I am looking to interview Pakistanis who live in/have lived in the UAE for a book. Please reach out at [email protected] or via messages. Every interview will be catered toward the individual and privacy/confidentiality can be discussed and mutually agreed upon!RT, plz.

[Khadeeja Farooqui @K_deeja]

Have been putting off writing my thesis, so I ordered new notebooks. Please tell me that we have all done this?

[Khadeeja Farooqui @K_deeja]

@jraja111 @NYUAbuDhabi @NYUAD_CDC I will write to her! Hope you’re well, Jay!

[Khadeeja Farooqui @K_deeja]

Every time I read something from the CDC about COVID-19 testing or vaccines or international travel, my brain automatically thinks it’s from the @NYUAbuDhabi @NYUAD_CDC 🤷🏻‍♀��. And I wonder how Hazel Raja is doing. 🏝🏙🗽👩🏻‍🎓

@desisnowflake Wait for “Oh, my neighbor’s son-in-law is Pakistani... I think... do you know Ash-raf?”

[Khadeeja Farooqui @K_deeja]

Remember when everyone in Pakistan started buying/selling/inhaling/eating/mixing-with-turmeric-and-drinking Seena Maki in an attempt to cure COVID and avoid chip-infused vaccines?

[Khadeeja Farooqui @K_deeja]

@ssballakrishnen Amazing! I will be back in the US in about a month or so and will get my hands on it then, iA. Hope you have been well!

[Khadeeja Farooqui @K_deeja]

Congratulations, Swethaa! So excited to read this soon! 🎊🪅🎉

Rohinton Mistry. Halfway through “A Fine Balance” and awestruck by every page of writing.

[Goodreads @goodreads]

Who are your new favorite authors?

[Khadeeja Farooqui @K_deeja]

On page number 23 of writing a final, and even I don’t believe in anything that I am arguing for anymore. 🤷🏻‍♀️ #zoomsemester

[Khadeeja Farooqui @K_deeja]

But can you write something on the “understanding” phenomenon, please?! Hashtag all labels are stupid—why do we need to create binaries first and then hyphenate once we realize the ineffectiveness/uselessness of said binaries.

[Talal Al-Rashoud طلال الرشود @tsalrashoud]

As Gulf academics we often find ourselves in a delicate position. We must criticize the gross injustices plaguing our region, yet we must also debunk the potent orientalist discourse that all too often
pervades such criticism. We thus end up attacking & defending
simultaneously

[Khadeeja Farooqui @K_deeja]

@Sauliloquy1 But can they do it bleeding, that is what it comes down to, no?
