Never has there been a time I've been so ashamed to be pakistani. The state is deporting children, Afghanis with documentation who were born and raised here, being sent to a country they've never even seen.
My chappal got lost/stolen @ eid namaz, into the dimension where all stolen chappals go.
Left with no option, I stole one back, same make and size.
It was my duty to continue the chain.
I am just another cog in the machine of eid-namaz-chappal-chors.
On top of that, tens of shias have been killed in Parachinar. Sectarian violence has only risen there over the past few months and the media is truly, truly silent. You won't find a single news outlet covering it. Spineless nation.
Hello! I am trying to write a feature piece on the different kinds of mithai in Karachi, their historical roots, and the cultural associations we have with them. I have a few questions listed below. You can also DM me!

A LUMS staff member needs up to Rs.50,000 for his sister's wedding expenses, which is on Saturday. He is the sole earner of his family, including children.
Recently, his children were about to be removed from school because of unpaid fees. The fees had to be crowd-funded. (1/2)
I am angry at the constant every-day failure of this city's infrastructure, its misaligned priorities of catering to a bullshit cashgrab of a sports league to only feed the egos of useless rich men, while hurting millions every day for a 4 hour fuck fest. Take your shitty matches
The sun will rise over you soon, dear Gaza.
The flowers will bloom, the genociders will burn.
You will live once again, with happiness, with freedom, with your loved ones.
Earth will eat the murderers.
And in a fleeting moment, they will be forgotten and you will be remembered.

KMC are murderers. They fed poisoned meat to the dogs in my street. These dogs never harmed anyone. They were very playful and taken care of by the people in my neighborhood. This is immensely cruel and inhumane. KMC should be held accountable for their actions.
somewhere else. Put it up Bahria Town's ass idc. Aga Khan/Liaquat Road gets choked every time. I cannot imagine how many have died on the way to the hospital because of PSL. Karachi lives in pain. It pains me.

What's your favorite mithai? What occasions do you get it for?
Why do we, as a city, love mithai so much?
What do you associate with different kinds of mithai?
What role does it play in bringing families and communities together?
Anecdotes are also welcome!
We adopted Manto as a kitty from someone I know because my mother really wanted a cat for my little niece. He disappeared after 6 months of being with us.
Teechu came to our street and was very friendly with everyone, we took him in for about 3 weeks until he, too, disappeared.
Tell me how you got your cat because I swear God distributes them. You’ll just be going about your business and you end up with a cat one day. That’s how it works. That’s how everyone gets their cat. God entrusted you with a cat so now you have one. Holy cat distribution is real.

@ academic twt. Does anyone know of any academic research done on Gizri, Karachi? Especially pre-colonial & colonial. Anything regarding fisherfolk/merchant history of gizri would be a plus.
I am not a Pakistani.
But I share their outrage at what is happening to

bykea rider gave me a speech about the wrongful selections in the Pak cricket team, the dirty politics, special insider information, who he'd select and so on. All I could say was 'haan bilkul theek'. at least the time flew by,,,
Casually scrolling through social media after pak vs afg match and seeing every nice person i know turn into the biggest racist ever saying the most vile shit. Average
