Zohran Mamdani just gave an address about being Muslim and the experiences of Muslims in NYC, and it's really fucking moving:
Inshallah next year! I just got the edits today.
Thank you!
The Khan by @saimamir.bsky.social - an absolute 10/10 crime thriller that does a spectacular job of representing Muslim women.
The cover used to generate the colour scheme for the texture. I loved this book!
A Möbius tube in #p5js but I wanted a funky texture to it so I applied the colour scheme from The Khan by @saimamir.bsky.social to it. (texture comes on at 0:55)
I didn't know there was a sequel out! That's on my TBR list!

Me: wow I'm writing good stuff in this novel tonight, I think I'll just keep on trucking
My brain: dude it's 11pm and we're old, wrap it up
Me: come on I used to do all nighters all the time
Brain: you used to do handsprings too, until that last time
Knees: yeah fuck you for that, by the way
