I still miss the yearly IKEA catalogue. I quite enjoyed it as event and browsing it, even as PDF.
The website is just not the same.

Excuse me? Ciabatta bread was invented in 1982? The 80's? I always thought this bread was at least 180 or more years old. And now you too know that little fun fact about bread.

Happy friday everybody, Jummuah Mubarak. When I was in Morocco, I visited the village of Setti Fatma. Named after a woman, this is her story: Setti Fatma was the ascetic daughter of a well known scholar of his time. People remembered her as a righteous and agreed-upon guardian of religious traditions.

She was a bright student of the scholars of her time. Her distinguished intellect emerged in various jurisprudential sciences. Even more, her enthusiasm and energy qualified her to teach.

https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/jumah-mosque
Ap. 10 % of Georgia’s population is #Muslim, and until 1951 there were 2 mosques in Tbilisi. Then the Blue Mosque was demolished by the Communist government. Seeing that the Shia community had nowhere to go, Jumah Mosque opened its doors to them, making it one of the only mosques in the world where the two sects worship together. Until 1996, a black curtain was used to divide the mosque between Sunnis and Shiites during prayer, but today, the two pray side by side.

There are many beautiful mosques arround the world but the one which I realy would like to pray on a sunny afternoon is this Hamidiye Cami in Kirsehir. The concept of praying in a quiet forest on green grass but sheltered from the elements is something generations befor us did not see as something special but in todays time and environment it is.

I am (as always) late to the party by discovering authors that everybody else knows about already. Ah well, here is my latest find: Andreas Brandhorst, author of just about 26 books in the last 20 years. What an underdog. His sci-fi is so well written and creative, once I started to read I was instantly absorbed in his world. I don't know if any of his books are translated into english, but if you can read german and love good sci-fi, give it a try.

Wonderfull video with a fast paced collage of islamic and pre-islamic art.
"Takrar or Repetition is an experimental film that celebrates the timeless and intricate beauty of ancient craftsmanship. Filmed in Istanbul, the film takes us on a mesmerizing journey into the past, paying homage to Islamic, Ottoman, Greek, and Byzantine art forms."

So Neopets was run by Scientology
"The site [...] elicits nostalgia for people who grew up online in the early 2000s — a colorful safe haven where kids learned how to code, spell, and do math while taking care of adorable virtual pets. But underneath Neopia’s rainbow-streaked fictional world was an open secret: for at least five years, the company employed business practices directly connected to the Church of Scientology."

A convocation adress by the late Andrian Tan (31.03.1966 - 08.07.2023)
"Forget about your life expectancy. After all, it’s calculated based on an average. And you never, ever want to expect being average.
What you should prepare for is mess. Life is not fair. Life happens, and you have no control over it. Good and bad things happen to you day by day, hour by hour. Don’t expect anything. Just live."

Did you know the Arabic language has an “abjad” system and not an alphabet? The Arabic abjad is made up of 28 letters, written from right to left.
Written Arabic uses an abjad instead of an alphabet. An abjad writing system is a form of writing in which each letter stands for a consonant and not a vowel. The vowels are indicated with vowel marks rather than a full letter. 1/

I got reminded (because of my own #ReadingOnTrains hashtag) of a list a friend was keeping with books she'd seen people read on the London tube, using them as an idea collection to bring more randomness in her own reading. Need to ask her, whether her list is still alive.

The Penultimate Truth
Philip K. Dick

Part of the SF Masterworks Collection. Despite being nearly 60 years old the narrative around the manipulation of the truth feels incredibly prescient. Wondering whether David Whitaker had read it before he came up with #DoctorWho story The Enemy of the World. #Books #Bookstodon #SciFi #PhilipKDick
