Amjad Sabri, an esteemed Pakistani qawali singer has been shot and killed by the Taliban in Karachi on Wednesday, 22nd June. He used to sing Sufi songs. Sufism is described as a “mystical Islamic belief and practice in which Muslims seek to find the truth of divine love and knowledge through direct personal experience of God”. It’s about peace and love and harmony. And he was just brutally murdered by terrorists. The world should know.

➜Hegel was adamant – and Adorno would have entirely agreed with him – that in the possible and constant defeat of modern history, what is needed is not atonement or propitiation for sinfulness but more negation, that is, more thinking that refuses to accept its object for what it claims to be. And Adorno would also have again agreed with Hegel that this refusal would necessarily proceed immanently, as a process in which the object is so bound by its own words that by them alone it would be compelled to take the measure of itself, find itself inadequate to its own claims, and willingly shed its own persevering illusion. Only in its own words would it find the compelling resource to rebut them.Robert Hullot-Kentor, “Unforgiving Art, Unforgivable Nations.” (via mir-nicht)

The star of Orange is the New Black and Jane the Virgin presents her personal story of the real plight of undocumented immigrants in this country
Diane Guerrero, the television actress from the megahit Orange is the New Black and Jane the Virgin, was just fourteen years old on the day her parents and brother were arrested and deported while she was at school. Born in the U.S., Guerrero was able to remain in the country and continue her education, depending on the kindness of family friends who took her in and helped her build a life and a successful acting career for herself, without the support system of her family.
In the Country We Love is a moving, heartbreaking story of one woman’s extraordinary resilience in the face of the nightmarish struggles of undocumented residents in this country. There are over 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the US, many of whom have citizen children, whose lives here are just as precarious, and whose stories haven’t been told. Written with Michelle Burford, this memoir is a tale of personal triumph that also casts a much-needed light on the fears that haunt the daily existence of families like the author’s and on a system that fails them over and over.
Available in Hardcover & E-book **May 2016

Oliver Sacks, Casting Light on the Interconnectedness of Life➜
R.I.P. Oliver Sacks.
“Dr. Sacks, who died on Sunday at 82, was a polymath and an ardent humanist, and whether he was writing about his patients, or his love of chemistry or the power of music, he leapfrogged among disciplines, shedding light on the strange and wonderful interconnectedness of life — the connections between science and art, physiology and psychology, the beauty and economy of the natural world and the magic of the human imagination.“
