Sometimes you end a work call that leaves you invigorated. That’s when you know that those are exactly the people you should be working with.

I wonder how drastic is the change in the design of homes post Covid-19. It interesting to think about it in the context of the gulf states homes — re-negotiating what is social and private, and what is interior and exterior.

The amount of unread WhatsApp messages that I have on random groups from people that I don’t know, or whom I didn’t speak to in years and which mostly consist of forwarded greetings is unbelievable.

@kmezaina Thank you! You too 💙

Wait, it’s Thursday already?... Wait, what? And it’s been a week into Ramadan already? 🤷🏽‍♂️

@tinkerkid @DesignObserver This is great, will definitely check it out. Thank you. Also, it’s been a while — we’ve missed you. Hope all is well and you’re staying safe and quarantined.

What are some interesting live online talks/performances that you recommend I attend/follow? Something a bit more playful and elaborate? On any platform, but perhaps something more than “just” a simple live talk show.

[Salem Al-Qassimi @salqass]
