Karachi LaJamia (@shahanarajani & @zmlkn) explores the interplay of education, visuality, and land accumulation in Karachi.

I visited the neighborhoods with my parents. Needless to say it was an emotional experience, and this article is a labor of love.

Jaranwala residents had little to begin with — the violent mob took away their hope too https://t.co/yYBGuq0sHN

Read for the alchemy wherein a terrible Bumble profile becomes the basis of the most incisive, illuminating review of Joyland out there.

"To stay with love, desire, intimacy is dangerous. Exhiliratingly dangerous. It necessitates a reckless relinquishing of power. It demands courage, endurance, responsibility, renunciation, risk." - @zmlkn https://t.co/1oZTKOGQ9z

[Arsalan Khan @akkhan81]

Great piece on Joyland by @zmlkn.

“Joyland is about many things - and one thing in particular that stood out to me was its examination of the violence of male passivity and inaction.”

At night, the police attacked the lands of Akram Jokia, there are houses of farmers working on the lands, and they demolished one or two houses. When the people of the area and Akram's lawyer came with Akram, the police were chased away from there

Two regions need attention beyond concerns of #CycloneBiparjoy and Karachi: the Indus delta and southern Balochistan. Past cyclones caused destruction in coastal belt, but LBOD provides a new channel that leads to massive inland flooding and salinization in Badin & delta...1/n

Visiting the Missing & Murdered Baloch on YouTube [video thread]

1/ In 2009, @NasimZehra did an episode of her talk show on student issues in Balochistan. The most vocal guest was a young poli sci student from Karachi University named Zahid Baloch

🧵 Yesterday, it was reported that a Baloch teacher Javed Baloch (@JavedBa125) was forcibly disappeared by security forces from his hometown Khuzdar. This is a thread of material from his public social media profiles that tell us more about who he is... 1/n

The project that is going to kill an entire ecosystem, an entire green belt, the project that is going to destroy the whole of Malir, naming the project as Malir Expressway is nothing but insulting to the people of Malir. The people of Malir have nothing to do with BTK or DHA

[zahra malkani @zmlkn]

Ugly, devastating, heartbreaking images. A thriving aquatic ecosystem, a habitat for so many, humans, birds, & so many more who love who cared for & who will still return to it, where there was water, shade, sacred places. Now there is this. Everywhere, just this. The horror.

[Murtaza Wahab Siddiqui @murtazawahab1]

Good progress is being made on the development of Malir Expressway by #SindhGovt. In the 1st phase, our target is to complete the section from Qayyumabad to Airport by August this year. It will only take 10 minutes to reach airport through this expressway #KarachiWorks

My dispatch from the flooded village @SAAGanthology
It is a story of an entire region dispossessed by the floods & unprecedented rains, and the specter of poor governance, unchecked capitalism, and climate disregard that has enabled ecological collapse. https://t.co/3798xP2cG7

After two months, the monsoon will blow, and lower Sindh might flood again; if you want to know why Sindh floods, read my story published @FiftyTwoDotIn.

Join me on my Phatphati Travelogue, revisit floods & raise voice for restoring natural waterways.

Grief, rage, poetry, love. Stunning report by @zmlkn on Pakistan's devastating floods. "A desperate farmer asking the government to just bomb his village and end their suffering. Dozens of men piling their bodies together to block a bursting embankment. Real end of times shit."

[Ahmer Naqvi @karachikhatmal]

Feel incredibly grateful to @zmlkn for writing this outstanding essay, where magical writing and meticulous reporting come together to truly account for what all is lost in the floods, and the sacred nature of what rivers and lakes mean to their people.
