So @farisattieh.bsky.social, who dreamt up House of Hikmah, sent this to me with a big crying emoji and it's so cool to see the game ripple through media. It does leave a glaring hole - I do really wish Western media, who control Metacritic and all that, would hold more space for non-Western stories

For science holds the planets all to be
A thousand times more helpless than are we.

The library of Fatima al-Fihriya isn't just a collection of dusty books on forgotten shelves. This lofty repository stretches for what feels like miles. Maya will have to artfully ascend its shifting bookstands and floating scrolls to find what she seeks.

Mariam Al-Astrulabi's observatory provides a crystal-clear view of the cosmos, a space where a brilliant scholar can do her work uninterrupted. They say, "In space, no one critiques your work." Or something like that 🌙🌠
