Article’s out! Memoirs and travelogues as genres should be revived, so as my own contribution, I wanted to write on my recent travels and my discovery of «home»—here’s the outcome. LMK what y’all think. traversingtradition.com/2025…

Insert tweet about religious folks overcoming secular trauma.

I've been abroad for too long, I need to go home and save this family

Few habits are as double-edged as reading. For some it’s illuminating as they answer questions or explore ideas, synthesizing and abandoning in their own terms. Others read but still resemble the chronic scroller who scrolls and learns nothing. This type should stop reading.

Jokes aside, even if there’s a clash present between Trump and the Israel lobby, none of this will go through anyway purely because of Israel’s inability to stay out of conflicts without which it feels it cannot survive. The US will get dragged in again as a result. And this isn’t even counting the fact that it’s only an MOU whose terms are hardly serious. The sides are only reaching for more time.

Note of a Bosniak who had traveled for Hajj from Bosnia on a Volkswagen Beetle as she spent a night under the Arabian skies.

It really is a loss that the starry skies are now a privilege rather than the universal Divine gift they always have been. Few things induce as much introspection as the stars and the sands.

Took these pics in the last two years. Went stargazing again last night and remembered how much I missed the sight of the Milky Way stretching across the sky.

Never saw a worse advice floating around than “be yourself.” It’s always given by the folks you’d wanna see the least, let alone see their true selves.

And to top it all off, San Francisco and Carmel-by-the-Sea. SF is your average boring American city. The latter is a beautiful village.

Big Sur. Realized why it’s one of the most beautiful drives in North America, and these are only a tiny portion of it.

There’s something to be mentioned about American naming conventions as opposed to British ones. The latter exudes a sense of sophistication and you can tell that there’s a long tradition; for the former, it’s always a question of simplicity and how it can convey its own aura.
