SubhanAllah even 😭 it’s been a looong winter in DC

'An Iranian missile landed on him': Sky News speaks to son of expat who died in United Arab Emirates Saleh Ahmed, 55, was delivering drinking water when he was fatally struck by debris after a missile attack on the first day of the war. His son tells Sky News he does not believe his father knew the c...

Victims in our countries seldom get profiled and humanised in Western media. This is a portrait of a life cut short. What a tragedy.

"Saleh Ahmed (55) lived in the UAE as an expat for 25 years, sending under £500 per month in earnings to Bangladesh for his wife and four children."

Sixteen-year-old Neiha studying AS Level Sociology is totally vindicated for her obsession with Baudrillard.

I can’t tell you how afraid I am for my family and friends who are caught in the crosshairs of nearby military installations. Parents, siblings, best friends. It’s been a hellish morning and I’m sitting safe in the heart of the cause.

My parents’ windows are rattling from nearby interceptions, I’m so freaked out

Gawain the green knight opening a letter sealed with wax

Little Alex Horne in his studio chair with the caption "so a simple task: land a fair blow anywhere on the green knight. One year later meet him at the green chapel, receive the same blow yourself."

A cut to a wider shot showing Greg Davies in his throne turning to Little Alex Horne subtitled "Well surely no one just ran up and whanged his head clean off."

Cut back to Little Alex Horne subtitled "Let's see Gawain first."

Looks like the original has been swept away by the sands of time.

Shout out to all the people researching IHL and AI, it must be rough out there.

I’m claiming this as his Pakistani heritage, for sure

My toddler does the opposite now where if I try to show him how yummy his food is, he assumes I’m hungry and will insist on handfeeding me his food. It’s extremely sweet and endearing but also, my guy, YOU GOTTA EAT. So I guess take heart?

At least in the US, it feels like parents and children lose all societal grace the second babies transition to toddlerhood. The amount of absolute vitriol I’ve seen aimed at toddlers—TODDLERS—throwing tantrums. If anything, toddlers need the most grace and understanding.

...so this unlocked a terrible new fear. Oh my God.

It might be the fasting migraine but I read “This thesis is of you, and it belongs to you, as do I” and never quite recovered the rest of the piece 😭 I love acknowledgements SO much I never skip reading them in anything

This is beautiful: science.anu.edu.au/news-events/...

I know you meant to correct yourself but this is the most terrifying post in the world

If shaitan is locked up during Ramadan, explain the existence of migraines while fasting!!!

(It’s actually very easy to explain I’m just grumpy)

Working on Restoring Justice kept me grounded this past year, so I share it w/ excitement & some nervousness.

Written w/ Meredith Elizalde, whose son Nick was killed in a shooting at his high school, we argue for a right to restorative justice.

This is AMAZING!!! As someone who was in the restorative justice clinic at my law school, I've always felt that international law is soooorely behind even in its conception of what restorative justice is. Thank you for this incredible work, I'm so excited to read this!!

a version of "titi me preguntó" where the titi is a nigerian auntie would give me LIFE

It is legitimately incumbent upon international lawyers (especially IHL specialists) to read science fiction at this point to preempt the horrors that bad actors are actively trying to realize.

Not to offer a new theory of civilization, but I think anyone purporting that their country is civilized has to prove the ubiquity of bidets. In that tradition, congrats to Kenya!

how do you even keep watching the episode I’m frozen in horror

Not to join the party this late but BENEDICT BRIDGERTON IS AN IDIOT

The first time I had a Twizzler it was so NOTHING that I think I actually got angry about it.

There’s a paper to be written about international legal kayfabe and as much as I want to be the one to write it, I keep getting distracted by how to pigeonhole more wrestling puns into international law…

Grateful to be married to someone who came with middle aged dad hobbies pre-loaded at 22.

Middle aged white men (and I’m 49, so I’m in the demographic) absolutely need ridiculous Dad Hobbies or they get squirrely. I think if you’re can’t prove you have a preexisting Dad Hobby or 2 by age 45, you get entered into a national hobby draft and get assigned one. It would solve so many things.

oh my god where to start

Snow much fun! 🐼❄️
