It is essential for anyone wishing to understand Justinian’s age to appreciate some theological arguments, even briefly. Doing so allows us to feel the spirit of the time, the intellectual & political pressures that shaped the Eastern Roman Empire.

While the Tamil diaspora has been celebrating Thaipoosam Cavadee, Sri Lankan state is oppressing those in Tamil Eelam.

We are urging the Sri Lankan Govt to stop the harassment of the Tamil photojournalist Kanapathipillai Kumanan

It reflects how race is weaponised to legitimise punitive border policies

Extreme inequality has created a class of global predators who exploit the rest of us financially & beyond.

Treating people as “non-player characters,” and framing empathy as weakness.

It fosters an ethos that denies our shared humanity⚠️.
