Alhamdulillah, I recently completed a project that I’ve been working on for a bit. Its an image-to-text converter but for Arabic book PDFs! You can input a PDF and it’ll output a PDF/DOCX with digitized Arabic text that you can search/copy/analyze etc. Link to use it is below
This past year I've been following cases of parents who've been prosecuted or investigated by CPS for the decisions they made during pregnancy - and one common thread (that we saw repeated this week with Lizelle Herrera) is that medical staff almost always reported them. 🧵
A year ago, a non-academic friend listened to a talk I gave. I thought it went great. My friend disagreed. She said that academics are experts at making interesting stuff boring—and that we should all take a speech class. So I did. And here are 6 most useful things I learned.
Probably easier to take this advice if you have a series of doting wives to bring you food and raise your children.

I would rather be lit on fire and thrown off a cliff than hear what Bill Cosby has to say about R. Kelly.
My forever inspiration of strength, resilience, and perseverance.

It’s not Veganism. It’s raging poverty. Meat is now a delicacy for a huge portion of the Lebanese population. It’s not about filling gaps. It’s about forcefully adapting to the new ugly reality.

Feeling a lot of feelings today. A moment of relief but also profound grief for the 400,000 people who aren’t here today, the families who are still separated, the BIPOC communities who have borne the brunt of the last four [hundred] years.
So if you’re wondering what kind of regime Ben Ali’s was, this is only one of many more stories to tell.
Little did she know that Matmati was actually dead &buried IN one of the pillars of a random Tunis bridge that she could’ve came across in her 8-year long journey where she thought her child was alive & still eating her meals
This is Fatma, mother of Ben Ali’s regime torture victim Kamal Matmati, Fatma spent 8 years of her life waking up at dawn to prep meals &bring it to her son, who she thought was in prison, from Gabés to Tunis. She was never allowed to see him but the guards always took her Koffa.
New: Congrats to everyone who photographed themselves doing crimes in the Capitol. It's loaded with phone location trackers, and those (unmasked) pics could work great in a facial-recognition scan. Hundreds of FBI agents are working the case as we speak wapo.st/3hXFcXB

I am ten years sober today and so thankful for my wonderful, supportive husband, family, colleagues and friends. Ten years ago, I was convinced my life was over. But the truth is that it was only just beginning and living a life of purpose and clarity is pretty great.
I teach a university course titled "Feminism & Islamism in the Middle East & North Africa," so try to follow the best historically informed scholarly literature on gender & sexuality in Islam. Here are a couple of reading recommendations (perhaps others can chime in here too):
@MedDhiaH Can you share any works that you have come across that fit this criteria "more rigorous historically-informed scholarly work on sexuality in Islam"
XBB.1.16 India: “Eyes are blood red, gooey, & glued shut. High fever, muscle aches, & non-purulent diarrhea.” Thailand: “I had a severe sore throat & I was coughing up blood all night, until I was finally hospitalized with XBB.1.16.” U.S.: “XBB.1.16 causes allergy symptoms.”
