A god may
but can we?
Beyond this

this. Ours is
the music
breath fans—the

stars embers.
Then—as now—
opens wide

to the point
we are—the
song escapes.

Call me boring but I think the idea of learning plant identification is so fucking cool. Imagine pointing to a random ass plant outside and the person infront of you can tell you EXACTLY what it is?? Like ALL of these lil flowers?? HELLO??

How dare you threaten students for exercising their democratic rights?

Please note, you are the ones that will be held accountable when the time comes.

“I trust all joy.”

-Theodore Roethke from his notebooks

[RobertAllenPoet @RobertAllenPoet]

"Straw for the Fire" is a collection from Theodore Roethke's notebooks. All praises to David Wagoner for figuring out Roethke's handwriting. His notebooks are full of poems, half poems half thoughts, and aphorisms. It's shows a poet thinking and creating. I LOVE this book.

1,000 New Yorkers won our lottery for affordable tickets to the World Cup.

Today, we celebrated in the stands for the first NY/NJ game of the tournament.

The beautiful game belongs to everyone.

CBSE’s May 2025 tender required answer sheets to be scanned with automatic robotic scanners, spines preserved, at a minimum of 300 DPI.

The tender re-issued in August quietly removed all of it. “Scanners” became generic. Resolution dropped to 200 DPI.

Now we know what that meant in practice. It has been exposed that COEMPT scanned the answer sheets using mobile phones.

The blurred copies, the missing pages, the unscanned books - they are not “errors.” They are the predictable outcome of a contract written to fit a vendor.

This is fraud. And every child whose marks were wrongly evaluated is a victim of it.

This morning, the Prime Minister had time to speak about mangoes. He has not had time to speak about 18.5 lakh children whose answer sheets were scanned with phones.

Dharmendra Pradhan ji still sits in office.

Modi ji’s silence is no longer indifference. It is complicity.

Verse of the day

Spanish women’s handball players sparked anger in Israel after wearing pro-Palestinian symbols during their Euro qualifiers match in Granada, which they won 31–13. Israeli media reported slogans, including “from the river to the sea,” displayed on their shoes.

Italian MPs wear the colours of Palestine’s flag in Parliament

“Today, we don’t hold up the flag because you’d try to take it from us. Instead, we wear it on our skin."

One of our foremost historians of modern India Prof K N Panikkar passed away in Thiruvananthapuram. He taught in JNU for several decades and wrote extensively on diverse aspects of history. Had not been very well for quite sometime. Had known him for years and learnt a lot. My very sincere condolences to his family and friends🙏🙏
