In both @meenakandasamy’s Fieldwork as a Sex Object and @caroclaireburke’s Yesteryear, we watch women map their thoughts and experiences onto the internet. Yet their algorithms deliver vastly different verdicts: one is celebrated with viral adoration, while the other is brutally dismantled in public. But who holds the gavel in the digital town square? And why do these verdicts so often seem to belong to “digital mobs”—self-appointed custodians of a rigid culture? In this piece of cultural critique for @harperbroadcast, @verma_anushka70 examines the collective gaze that turns Burke’s quintessential “trad-wife” Natalie into the internet’s cherished prize while casting Kandasamy’s vocal political critic as its exiled pariah.

Most European citizens will likely never have heard of VFS Global. But across much of Africa, Asia + the Middle East, the visa giant has become notorious Our investigation finds VFS has made huge profits by exploiting people with 'weak' passports lighthousereports.com/investigation/…

RIP Marjane Satrapi, the great cartoonist and film director, best known for PERSEPOLIS. She was only 56. A great talent. She will be missed.
my women in translation month is going to be so fun
If I may- in my estimation- #WidowsBay may very well be the best streaming series in a long time… and hands down one of the most mesmerizing acts of narrative prestidigitation in Horror.
Some of us have been saying
Books being reduced to a form of conspicuous consumption among eccentric young people, rather than being an essential, everyday medium of leisure, communication and uplift is not the win it seems here to be taken for. The exact opposite of Penguin Classics for sixpence.
Anyone who has travelled on a weak passport will celebrate investigative reporting into VFS global, the near monopoly intermediary that handles visa applications for 71 countries. lighthousereports.com/investigation/…

bipoc female rage historical fantasy/speculative books with themes of colonisation and national independence !
Geoffrey Bawa turned an abandoned horse stable into one of the most studied residential conversions in Asian architecture. This is how. The Horagolla House began as an abandoned horse stable on a family property. Bawa visited the site, stood and studied it, then agreed to convert it. Over four years in the 1980s, he remodelled the stables with restraint into a double height living space. The stable hall became the living room. Verandas looked out over garden courts. Trees were planted around the perimeter on Bawa’s advice, Hora, Kotang and Kohombo. Burma teak sourced from old houses across the island. Clay pots. A salvaged Dutch door that Sunethra and Bawa famously competed over at the same antique dealer. Bawa rejected the imposition of preconceived forms onto a site. Every project began with the land; its trees, its light and its climate. The building followed. That philosophy produced homes that feel inevitable rather than imposed. He is widely regarded as the father of tropical modernism in Sri Lanka and the Horagolla House is one of the clearest examples of why. Horagolla House, Sri Lanka. Geoffrey Bawa. 📷 Ashish Sahi
