Just found out that the now-teen has been quietly annotating my PhD…
V moved to be getting lifetime's achievement tribute here in Egypt - Ismailia Film Festival - tomorrow night. I've always been passionately international, so to be on shore of Suez Canal, in land of Youssef Chahine + Oum Kalthoum for this is ❤️
In the NW Highlands for a couple of events. Decided to break the drive North to climb Beinn Dearg Mòr (Fisherfield) & spend the night in Shenavall. Stepped out of the bothy to look at the stars & was not expecting this. The best I've ever seen & @msummerssmith's first sighting...
My latest book ✨Rebuilding Community: Displaced Women and the Making of a Shia Ismaili Muslim Sociality✨ is now available. Alhamdulillah! Pre-order at @OUPAcademic with 30% off discount code: AAFLYG6. 🧵 1/2 global.oup.com/academic/produ…
Looking forward to it!
Did you know that there is a lovely 50 seater cinema in the New Town of Edinburgh? Bet you didn't - I didn't and about 60 or 70 members of my family who lived within 500 metres never mentioned it neither (Plz retweet) 🧵
My 1st art installation comes to an end Sunday @fruitmarket To plan it I painted a cardboard box black + put tiny pictures in it (left) Finished installation (right) - 512,000 times bigger - looked quite similar Pre-visualising (ie imagining) is one of great pleasures of my job!
🎙️ People of #Iran are beaten-up, raped and killed in the streets and in prisons, not by criminals but by those who claim to be the government of this wonderful country. I demanded a debate at 🇪🇺 parliament to take a very strong position in support and solidarity of protestors.
#Soleimani in particular is attacked by the feminist movement and his statues set on fire. It may only have a symbolic meaning, but it is immense. The iconoclastic toppling of monuments is an important part of revolutions. /3
The activists of the #IranRevolution are now specifically and deliberately attacking such representatives of hyper-masculine myth-making in Iran. The symbolic shot into the heads of Soleimani or Khomeini is directed against a cult of the dead cultivated by the living elites. 2/👇
The regime in #Iran is desperately trying to protect its symbols, like the Statue of Soleimani in Kerman. General Qassem Soleimani, killed by a US drone strike in 2020, has since his death been constructed by the regime itself as a representative of the state ideology. 1/👇
Packing last night I found my first notes for my PhD, November 2006. Can I get rid of them now?

A quick drive by sketch to see how the old sick kids hospital skyline is changing. A place my family and I knew so well is changing forever and I will always look back on the hospital by the meadows with fondness. edinburghsketcher.com/2022/11/03/sky…

The teen’s been reading website #privacy policies, quoting extracts and checking with me. Proud and worried at what I’ve managed to do …
What can you do today for women in Iran? Share their stories on social media to help spread their message & join me in signing this open letter to kick the oppressive Islamic Republic of Iran off the UN Commission on the Status of Women. womanlifefreedom.today
We projected an image from @BarryJenkins's Moonlight onto our recently closed cinema in Edinburgh last night, to show our love and loss. Windows on Worlds.
Gregory's Girl projected onto Filmhouse last night. A film we love to light up a cinema we love. @Jgs_x
