I am sorry we need to start culling men in this country

🚨 A very scary bill, the 🇵🇰 Pakistan Telecommunication Reorganization
Amendment Act 2026, in which you will have no longer control of your property, if you refuse, you can be fined up to 50 million.

i remain absolutely stunned by the degree of perseverance needed to build a meaningful life

It’s well established human history that countries are temporary, but cities are forever.

[Aimun @bluemagicboxes]

i think about this so much i think about this all the time that the rise of autocratic hate in this region is happening just as we are losing the generation that carried love for land and the people on the other side of the border

Case update: Still not found
She was last seen entering her university exam hall at 12:30. FIR was lodged the same day by her husband. CCTV confirms her entry, but there’s no footage of her exit. Her phone was last active on campus before going off. It’s been 3 days with no sign

@bentheorder2 its not about whether the man was a hero or not -- it is about the fact that a woman gets acid thrown on her and the gov's reaction is to award the man for his bravery. what about the victim? or the measures taken to make sure it doesn't happen again? where is law and order?

Every time I see pictures of this road I'm reminded of the fact that the cemented wall on the left was once a simple barbed fence offering beautiful views of the PU gardens, which then changed post-APS attack.

Men will never truly know what it feels like to be a woman living in Pakistan. What if you say no to sex one day and your husband kills you? What if you hurt a man’s ego and he throws acid on you? And what if you do absolutely nothing at all and still get raped or killed?

re: that thread on class being the blind spot in feminist analysis or whatever she said was going on 😭

[Sadaf Ayub @Sadaf_Ayub21]

The Noor Mukadam case, the 2020 motorway rape case, the Sana Yousaf murder case, and the acid attack on a doctor in Quetta today-do you still wonder why Pakistan was ranked 148th out of 148 countries in the Global Gender Gap Index?

To see Readings slowly die is something I wish I never had to process 😭🥲 https://t.co/ETabXFjk3E

The Pope is 100% correct here.

Also it's embarrassing that no Muslim scholar has displayed such moral and intellectual clarity over AI and the undeniable experiences fundamental to human existence beyond the cliche and lazy "everything must be used in moderation" platitude.

[vanie @fruitchaaat]
