The poster for this year's #AuratAzadiMarch is really something too:

It's hard to overstate just how much of a ripple this protest creates in Pakistan's intensely patriarchal society every year. It is all everyone talks about for weeks.Organizers and attendees face a ton of abuse afterwards, both online and offline. Last year, the march was pelted by stones from religious extremists who showed up to counter-protest.

@kawaiipunk @alcyone "Mullen had been dabbling in Linux for a few years, ever since befriending an Australian hacker who had arranged for him to do a skate demo at the SeaWorld near Brisbane. (The hacker, a hardcore skateboarding fan, also developed a friendship with Tony Hawk after swiping his phone number from a database.) Now (in rehab) that he was no longer preoccupied with skating, Mullen focused on the finer points of Debian and openSUSE."

So I've been working with an activist group to prevent forced evictions/demolitions in Karachi for the last 4 months. Whenever me and my comrades show up to film the demolitions (and the attendant harassment of residents that comes with it), we get threatened with arrest.Do folks here have recommendations for inexpensive & inconspicuous recording devices that can be used to surreptitiously record and possibly livestream such events as they're happening?

snapchat spectacles come to mind but they're hardly inconspicuous...

The scale of flooding that is wreaking havoc across Pakistan right now is beyond my comprehension. I don't even know how to engage with it. Numbers don't make sense anymore.

The number of people impacted by the floods in Pakistan right now is the size of a small country:

If anyone wants to to help affectees of the flood in Pakistan, pls donate to this fundraiser.https://www.gofundme.com/f/solidarity-appeal-for-flood-victims-in-pakistanIt is organized by socialist-feminist collective with a long history of grassroots struggle.I can vouch for the people behind it. They are always there in times of crisis, standing up to the militarized state dispossessing people of their land and their homes.

Listening to a comrade speak about their relief efforts in the most affected regions of Sindh and Balochistan:"We went to people and they told us, we don't need rations anymore. Now we're short of coffins."

The floods in Pakistan have created a 100km wide inland lake that is visible from orbit.https://edition.cnn.com/2022/08/31/asia/pakistan-floods-forms-inland-lake-satellite-intl-hnk/index.html

Today marks 2 years since demolitions were announced in Gujjar Nala in the dead of night, at the time when most of Karachi was submerged during the monsoon-induced urban flooding of 2020.Translated: "The District Commissioner has an announcement. Everyone whose home is encroaching on the drain should find alternative living arrangements as their homes will be demolished by 7AM"

This video was directly responsible for my radicalization and subsequent participation in the movement against the demolitions, @karachibachaotehreek, which is now a major part of my life.1.5 years have passed since our protests, court cases, crowdsourced surveys, and social media campaigns (all of which are still ongoing). In the meanwhile tens of thousands of people have been violently dehoused, lost most of their belongings, and had relatives pass away due to stress-induced health issues.

Demolitions that displace poor people in the name of "infrastructural development" and "climate resilience" are ecofascism.

Came across https://github.com/Endle/fireSeqSearch today, which indexes your #logseq notes and displays them alongside web search results 👀 idk how useful I'll find it on a daily basis but at least this will get me to look at my old notes more often.
