@beenasarwar Thank you for sharing!

[Tehsin @tehsinwrites]

What I appreciated the most about this film is the juxtaposition of the values and policies with other south-Asian or as people like to call it “global south” countries instead of western countries. Thanks @sajahq and @beenasarwar for the screening.

[Tehsin @tehsinwrites]

Met the amazing @beenasarwar at #SAJA30 and watched her new documentary, Democracy in debt: Sri Lanka Beyond the Headlines.
It’s packed with academic and on the ground analysis of Sri Lanka’s recent economic crisis. @sajahq

Finally wrote about cricket!

[NJ Spotlight News @NJSpotlightNews]

New Jersey is home to several thriving cricket leagues and many young players who show the potential of going pro. Of course, many just play for the thrill of enjoying a sport they love. https://t.co/sSqZVWgzYW

Ghosting by sources is frustrating sometimes just bcz I have already envisioned the story head in my head and then they stop responding?😭

Anyway this happened a couple of times for this story but I still made it work!

To use the word “revenge” in this specific case is the worst thing one could imagine

[Tehsin @tehsinwrites]

I often mention that my reporting utilizes a gendered lens for everything including language and it confuses many but this what I mean. Our headlines are still sexist and oriented towards patriarchy and sensationalism

SEEKING JUSTICE IS NOT REVENGE. END.

Pro-Palestine march from Foley sq has joined the nyu encampment

[Chenjerai.bsky.social @catchatweetdown]

As @nyu_journalism faculty-I'm noting that:

Here is a student journalist who appears to have been pepper sprayed by the NYPD

and is NOT being cared for or protected by:

1. The NYPD
2. NYU administrators b/c they invited NYPD
3. Campus "safety" b/c they worked w/NYPD
