  1. “In her magisterial book The Great Partition, Yasmin Khan offers a sobering conclusion: The Partition of 1947 is also a loud reminder, should we care to listen, of the dangers of colonial interventions and the profound difficulties that dog regime change. It stands testament to the follies of empire, which ruptures community evolution, distorts historical trajectories and forces violent state formation from societies that would otherwise have taken different—and unknowable—paths. Partition is a lasting lesson of both the dangers of imperial hubris and the reactions of extreme nationalism. For better or worse, two nations continue to live alongside each other in South Asia and continue to live with these legacies.”
    ―Caroline Elkins, "Legacy of Violence: A History of the British Empire"

  11. More than one in five workers across Europe — 21.3% — are regularly shifted on Saturdays and Sundays, according to the latest Eurostat data.

    And in some countries, the average is well above that, especially across the #Balkans and the #Mediterranean.

    In Greece, a striking 41% of employees and self-employed workers are active on the weekend, 33% in #Bosnia-Herzegovina, and 32% #Malta, Cyprus and North Macedonia.

    At the same time, the continent's north and east show much lower rates. In #Lithuania, only 4% of workers work on weekends, as do 7% in #Hungary and 7.5% in #Poland.

    When it comes to employees only, Greece, #Cyprus, and #NorthMacedonia remain in the top spots with rates above 30%, followed by #Switzerland and Malta, just below at 29%.

    On the self-employed/employers' front, #Greece again shows the highest rate with an astonishing 75%. The picture changes slightly in the lower spots, occupied here by #Belgium (66%) and #France (60%).

    Working often on weekends doesn't necessarily mean working more overall. In Greece's case, however, the numbers are consistent with other #Eurostat data showing Greeks tend to work more hours than anyone else in the EU.

  12. "Stop patronising hijabi Muslim women by telling them to consider how other Muslim women may find hijab oppressive, as if we have not already done so.

    We know how religion is weaponised in places where Muslims are the majority. We also know how your governments weaponise anti-Muslim rhetoric globally, and we understand where Islam stands in the global order.

    Who are you trying to fool here?

    Treating Muslim subjects as if we are insulated from that order and reminding us that “contradictions exist” is a projection of the privilege enjoyed by those who benefit from that system."

  14. Freedom of movement and freedom to stay
    Entitlement and the Urge to Destroy

    * " As the habitable areas of the Earth shrink under climate change and as many governments around the world adopt measures to deport migrants and refugees, it is time to re-examine our traditional notion of freedom. In the Western tradition, freedom is generally understood in relation to space: it is the freedom of movement, and the freedom not to be obstructed in one's movement by the state or anyone else. In The Freedom to Stay, von Redecker puts forward the radical argument that we should think of freedom in temporal rather than spatial terms."

    * "The core of fascism is an unleashed logic of property. Its counterparts are not people, but things; its enemies are not opponents, but thieves."

  18. Orientalism and the Denial of Muslim Political Agency

    Western political discourse often treats Muslims as politically illegible, interpreting Muslim societies through secular or liberal frameworks. This critique examines how Orientalism embedded in Western political thought denies Muslim political agency and frames Islamic resistance as a threat rather than a response to imperial violence.
