Well this was quite the surprise! A thousand thanks to @Da7eee7 and @NewMediaACDMY for including "Media of the Masses" in this wonderful episode on Ahmad Adawiya and the history of sha'bi music. I cannot wait for the book's Arabic translation with @Dar_elShorouk to debut! 🇪🇬🎵 📚

Seeing all of you interact with this tweet has been awesome! Whether you're a block away from the kiosk in Cairo, or thousands of miles, if you'd like to pick up a copy of "Media of the Masses" (إعلام الجماهير), you can do so through @Dar_elShorouk, @iqraaly, or @Bayt_Alkotob.

One of the many times I wish I could travel with the Arabic edition of “Media of the Masses,” which is now available in Algeria.

UATX will never charge tuition. And we will never take government money. Here's why. Graduates spend decades shouldering debt for hollow credentials. This debt influences every decision they make: What job to take. Where to live. When to marry. When to have children. Some will

What a treat to share my latest work on family planning at this conference in Cairo. I can’t recall such a generative and generous Q&A. I only wish I could’ve been there in person, back on the campus where I was a fellow during the 2011 Revolution.

Just landed in Toronto and did what anyone would do. Immediately went to a Syrian restaurant. Also, they have a cassette player?!

Next Tuesday, at Sisters in Brooklyn, I'll serve as the storyteller for a show revolving around Sheikh Imam. Brooklyn Maqam will perform several of Imam's songs, which challenged the tales told by Egypt's ruling regimes. If you'll be in the city, I'd love to see you!

"1/2" Here we say 1 divided by 2. The solution is (0.5). In order to get there though, we prove it using the longhand method, in which the action is actually the exact opposite way of how we say it. Currently, we are only showing how much of or how many times the denominator goes
