We need to update MLA, APA, Harvard, and Chicago citation standards. If you cite a scene in an academic article, similar to a page number, you should include a timestamp.

"The Story of the Judge & the Thief," a story about a trickster, was evidently very popular in West Africa: HMML preserves digital copies of 40+ manuscripts containing this story, located across 11 libraries in #Mali. Read a translation by Dr. Ali Diakite & Dr. Paul Naylor: bit.ly/4y2dBLo

Ramaḍān karīm
A decorative Ramadan lantern made of wood. The top is a dark green pyramid shape with the Arabic phrase "Ramadan Kareem" laser-cut into it, allowing golden light to shine through. The front of the lantern features a cutout window revealing a glowing, glittery background. Inside the window, there are cartoon-style illustrations of a young girl in a pink hijab and a young boy in a green tunic standing in front of a mosque with domes and minarets.

🎶🍷🔥 You blame me for listening to music and drinking wine to start my day— I make my own choices, so let me go my own way. What does it matter to you if I do what I desire? Go enjoy your paradise; I'll content myself in the fire. —Ibn Wakīʿ al-Tinnīsī (Egypt, d. 1003)
[المجتث]
يالائمي في سماعِ --- وفي اصطباحِ عقارِ
هذا اختياري لنفسي --- فخلّني واختياري
يا قوم ماذا عليكم --- إذا خلعتُ عذاري
فوزوا بجنةِ عدنٍ --- فقد قنعتُ بناري
