Probably the first ever in depth piece on Jabhat an-Nusra. By @azelin back in January 2012

Shāfi’ī Madhhab
@IMadhhab
[Thread] Below will be a list of points about our Madhhab. We’ll hopefully add onto this thread over the week & in the near future shed more light on each issue. But if you have an immediate question about any of these, feel free to ask or DM.
1. The Shāfi’ī Madhhab over the course of history underwent a few phases. It first starting spreading during ‘Abbāsi Caliphate as the “people’s” Madhhab and not as a state Madhhab unlike the Hanafī and Mālikī Madhhabs which had the support of the state during expansion.
2. The Shāfi’ī Madhhab reached its peak under the Seljūk, Auyyūbī, and Mamlūk empires and lost its stronghold under the Ottomans.

Thread on the eve of what is being dubbed in France as “Black Saturday”.

1. During this whole week there has been fear in the air. Both in the streets and on the TV. The government tried to appease the populace by cancelling the fuel tax hike, but sadly it wasn’t enough.
2. People learnt that they could have avoided all the prices increases of the past year if they had protested. So now there is a feeling of insult to injury. The truth is that there have been little signals throughout the year that major things would eventually happen.
3. Farmers were tipping manure and hay in the streets of Paris in protest at the low profits being made in the milk industry and the poor crop yields due to dry weather. This is a symptom of the same illness - the EU cancer. At one point there were no milk products in s/markets.

(THREAD) Looks like #gaycultureis in need of more awareness of its backgrounds. LGBTQ+ pioneers like Marsha and Sylvia deserve more attention than is often given to them today, especially among young white gay men. So here goes!

Shout out to @t_taylor_inWH for the thread idea 💛

Capitán Urías
@CapitanUrias
No podía empezar con otro que no fuese Capitán Harlock (el manga que dio nombre a mi blog). La Space Opera japonesa tiene un nombre, y ese es Leiji Matsumoto. Y probablemente no hay personaje más COOL que el Capitán. Es cortito y ahora con una edición fantástica de @NormaEdManga
Innocent es probablemente el manga con el dibujo más espectacular que se puede encontrar actualmente en el mercado (edita @mwediciones). Pero su historia, la del verdugo de la corte francesa, es flipante. Un manga de época realmente original y sorprendente. Estoy muy enganchado.
