khalid 👑

Salams! I'm Khalid, the co-organizer of #ArtMubarak. I'm a queer Bangladeshi artist who loves florals and high fashion, and I'm writing a novel HERE TO STAY about leftism, diaspora, and family. My art is for the culture and for our liberation—don't you ever forget it.

I hate the emergency department 😁👍🏽

mysterious and foreign.......bruh it's giving dusky peril 😂😭😭

Poor guy gets saddled with "foreign aura" no matter where he goes let him live IS he'll be less mysterious if you devoted any time at all to giving him extra content feh 🙄

It's funny how prickly Claude is when he's young. He's not outright rude or anything, but he doesn't really put much effort into being polite, doesn't expect much from others, and wants to prove himself despite his background and age. ....It kind of reminds me of Cyril lol

Awww baby Claude....he really met some fodlan kids for the first time and his survival instinct went "I have to fit in NOW" and invented a new identity

oh samira, you are so loved. #thepitt #samiramohan

So we write our books and make our films knowing that anything we say—seriously or in jest, even anything we imply— can and will be used against us in the courts of law and public opinion. We talk to each other as if the sniper is standing over our shoulder. And I understand the impulse to self-censor. I know that as Palestinians our notoriety precedes us; we are guilty until proven otherwise and otherwise is often impossible. I know that I probably do not resemble myself in most people’s imaginations. But there are vast universes outside of the sniper’s gaze; worlds beyond the colonizer’s field of vision. What matters more than how we will be viewed by our enemies or our allies is how we view one another and what we inspire in one another. Is it self-respect or self-reproach? To be irreverent at the podium is to remind yourself that you are part of a collective, a scrutinized people whose psychic and affective allowances are shrinking endlessly; the working classes, the exhausted, the under-resourced, those who do not have access to Ivy Leagues or a knack for double-speak. And in that performance of irreverence, you enmesh yourself in their complexities, you make room for them in the public discourse, no matter how they articulate themselves, and you reassign the blame from the victim to the perpetrator. Otherwise, we would be punching down—we would save ourselves and ascend in our careers by throwing others under the bus. For one to be described as genteel, someone else needs to be viewed as savage.

I genuinely feel sick. This is just beyond anything the mind can fathom. And I keep thinking of what Ta-Nehisi Coates said. If you can’t draw the line at the genocide in Gaza, you can’t draw it anywhere else. Moral failure, on a mass and collective scale, brought us here.

I think that's a good summary of their different views and focuses in life. The child who turns inward and wants to hold those dear to him close, and one who's always turning outward in hopes that the unknown holds something better. I want them to look at the same sky together...

Cyril talking about Almyra's blue sky as something that swallowed him whole and finding it isolating vs Claude seeing that same endless sky and finding the way it consumes everyone as a great equalizer that bridges the distance between him and everyone else...

I’m a family doctor, and I join the call by @drtlaleng in demanding the release of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya who remains in Israeli captivity for over a year. He has been subjected to severe torture. Our medical colleagues have been targeted for doing their jobs - release them all!

Despite my general optimism it’s undeniable that the losses we have suffered are generational, the impact psychically, socially, interpersonally— we can’t even register the enormity of it all

Muqarnas is a geometric system used in Iranian-Islamic architecture to articulate transitions between surfaces, commonly applied in domes, vaults, and entrances. The element is composed of tiered modules arranged in a three dimensional pattern, creating a honeycomb like structure. These layers break down solid surfaces into smaller facets, allowing light to interact with depth and produce shifting shadow across the surface. Often combined with tilework, muqarnas integrates structure, geometry, and ornament into a single system. It operates as both a spatial transition and a surface articulation, linking planar walls to curved ceiling forms through precise repetition. 📷ghasem baneshi 📍Isfahan, Iran
