Since my childhood, I have witnessed and experienced violence and abuse. I am the person I am today because of my mother; she taught me how to speak and how to empathize with others, even when surrounded by darkness. My mother is a woman who endured unimaginable violence from her in-laws and from society itself.

Perhaps this is why I can never accept a simple binary. I carry so much rage and pain, especially when I see women treated merely as products—as “God’s pleasure to mankind.” It is hideous and a nuisance to interpret religion through a patriarchal lens.

No matter how much we speak about women’s safety or how loudly we protest, not a single day passes without reports of children being victims of horrific violence. And who do we blame? Advocacy for women should not be confined to a single day of the year; it must be a daily practice.

My heart aches every day as I navigate the male privilege I hold, while also belonging to a spectrum I am both scared and angry to name within a structure overseen by men.

This thread is for WOMEN. I still see friends, family, and relatives unable to break patterns of abuse because of how brutally they have been conditioned. May this thread offer help, and I pray for a new world unshaped by patriarchy. I cannot bring myself to utter the word “Happy” this International Women’s Day; however, my voice and my soul reach out to every woman and to the Divine.

The song is relevant because it is a conversation between the soul and the self -The conditioned mind and the unconditioned

Rewatching Messiah in 2026 feels less like entertainment and more like a roadmap for the chaos we’re currently living through. As we teeter on the edge of global conflict, the show’s themes hit differently. It’s an incredibly enlightening lens through which to view how power, patriarchy, and weaponized religion are used to keep us trapped in a “spider web” of control.
I’ve put together this thread to break down the director’s vision and my own analysis of how society conditions us to stay divided. Whether you consider yourself religious or not, this show is essential viewing.
The goal here is simple: awareness. We are living with a “colonial hangover” passed down through generations, leading to a world where violence is the default and “peace” is just a product sold to us in the name of spirituality. This archive is my attempt to clear the blur that world leaders and old systems have used to obscure who we actually are.
This isn’t just about politics—it’s about a “breakout” from the rigid binaries and dogmatic ways of the West. Perspective matters now more than ever, and our voices need to be louder than the systems trying to silence them.
Check out the slides, look through the sources, and let’s discuss. What are you seeing that others are missing?

The Loop of 1953 & 2026. The map hasn’t changed; only the names of the generals have. As strikes hit Tehran today, we recognize the 70-year script of Western intervention. From the 1953 coup to the current “strategic” escalations, the goal remains the same: the management of the Middle East and the extraction of its sovereignty.

Capitalism doesn’t just trap markets; it traps futures. When the checkbook of sanctions fails to force submission, the cruise missile takes its place. We refuse the narrative of “liberation” when it is written in the language of erasure.

Sound: “Hero Once Been” — 9T Antelope: @nima.aghiani @sarrsew & @aho_ssan A sonic deconstruction of displaced identity and the erasure of history.

I have included all the relevant references please go through it and educate yourself and also spread the word now is the time we act now and stop ignoring the truth.

I have been going through severe allergic reactions to dust and air pollution and I think probably everyone on my feed already knows about my health condition, I am doing so much better than before Alhamdulillah, however developed severe skin allergic reactions whenever I go out or simply stay out at my roof or balcony. And I am not the only one who is going through this issue, my mother and I had been going through this issue for several weeks along with many of my friends, relatives even my dearest Shanto bhaiya our care taker. After doing several diggings through Ai and multiple articles and research reports I have found that it is a type of fungal infection caused due to Dhaka’s poor air quality. To spread awareness I have created this thread and as my feed is public I wanted to share this to the mass to take proper precautions and treatment if they are also going through this.

Many have a fear of HIV or sexually transmitted disease due to negative jargons and stereotypes. HIV and std symptoms are unlike this fungal skin disease. Please go through the thread and take precautions because as a victim of this allergy I can assure you this is really painful and not tolerable at all. It cause dark spots and even causes fever if not taken proper care. I hope this thread helps and if things get worsen consult a doctor immediately.
Research confirms that Dhaka’s air isn’t just a lung problem—it’s a skin crisis. On high-pollution days, reports of skin irritation and rashes spike as microscopic PM2.5 particles (20x smaller than your pores!) penetrate the skin barrier, triggering the ‘itch-scratch-infect’ cycle.

Introducing durdana, a Dhaka-based DJ whose sound doesn’t sit neatly inside any box. Drawn to weighty breakbeats and deep, sub-heavy grooves, Durdana builds sets that take their time. The music leans into texture and repetition, giving the room space to breathe, let go, and move together—hovering gently between tension and release. Slow, rolling rhythms, low-end pressure, and quiet moments of hypnosis on the dancefloor. by @araam_archive
