I've enjoyed the gift of cheer and laughter, learned much through tests and trials, shared many joys and sorrows. I've lived a rich and full life, one I shall mourn when it is over.

It is time to stop being naive about online discourse.
“The discourse holds so many traps for the unwary. It’s a bit like financial scams and gambling that are a tax on the financially naïve. A similar tax is being levied on the intellectually naïve.” — @ArthurCDent

Kamu yang ganteng, tapi tampak menyedihkan.

She was a ghoulish version of her previous self, all the fasting and sorrow taking away any form of joy in her eyes. She was always looking for the newest prayer houses, flooding our family group with different prayer channels.

Aunty Alice was uncouth, brash and suffocating. She loved to let us all know that no one could talk to her, even though we all knew how mellow and melancholic she behaved with her in-laws. She had no son yet, hence no footing.

No one had affected her this way.

For over 400 years, history has been haunted by Anarkali, the beautiful court dancer who was buried alive by Emperor Akbar, for her love affair with Prince Salim (Akbar’s son and the future Emperor Jahangir). But is the story fact or #fiction? The truth will surprise you! 1/11
This tragic love story has many modern retellings, including the 1960s classic Hindi film Mughal-e-Azam. But if Anarkali is just #folklore, whose grave lies in the magnificent ‘Tomb of Anarkali’ in the heart of #Lahore, the former Mughal capital? 2/11
The grave bears the couplet in #Persian: ‘Ah! If I could behold the face of my beloved once more, I would thank God until the day of resurrection’. It is signed by ‘Majnun Salim Akbar’ ('Enamoured Son of Akbar'). It’s the only clue we have. 3/11
Je suppose que je devrais commencer par le début. Après deux années de covid, mon mari et moi-même avons décidé de faire une parenthèse magique. Un voyage au Caraïbe. Un ilet magnifique rien que pour nous, c'est un rêve éveillé.
Un ilet au milieu de nullepart, de l'eau et de la verdure à perte de vue. Une seule maison inhabitée. Certainement une maison de vacance. Nous nous allions le faire simple, retour aux sources. Camping en monde #KohLanta

David was the first to publish my research on the criminological values of fiction and JTPCRIM is a repository of 12 years' worth of interesting and innovative #openaccess articles. jtpcrim.org
I'll be joined by colleagues from @uOttawa, @warwickuni, @QMUL, and @SussexUni in the symposium, across the disciplines of #criminology, #philosophy, and #filmstudies.
