Today, I had the opportunity to address mostly student activists for Bharat Bachao - All India Students' Conference.

It is strange how as an adult now, I find public speaking equally gratifying and rattling.

genuinely fuck the cjp organisation and fuck the cjp leaders because you are have no strategy you plan to land to the capital ON THE day of the protest, the site of the protest is like a fortress of the govt and you have left the masses to fend for themselves

Please don’t buy our books on Amazon. If you can’t afford to buy them from a real bookstore or from us directly, pirate them from Anna’s Archive like God intended.

In many sexually violent scenarios, the most dangerous action a woman can take is to say no or fight back. Fawn response is often the difference between surviving rape & not surviving.

Stop shaming survivors from doing what they needed to do to survive (physically & mentally).

[maddy 🦈 @m4ddyness]

one of the hardest things about living with sexual trauma is being re-traumatized every time there’s a heavily publicized case in the news. watching people litigate and demonize other victims. makes you wonder what the point of any of it is, if it’s even worth speaking up at all.

For years, students of LSR College have crossed this stretch along the back gate.Barely lit. Next to a park often filled with ruffians.
Imagine having to send "Be safe alerts",stay on call, share location-just to reach home every day!

A 500m stretch-a horror story in today's HT

I hate the fact that all our lives, we are taught to lower our gaze, be hyper-careful all the time, not “invite attention” to ourselves and shrink, shrink, SHRINK and even that’s not enough.

This is 2026.
WHEN DOES IT GET BETTER?

Will all I have ever loved be tainted by the impunity of men?

When I was at university, Elaine Mokhtefi had just published the brilliant “Algiers: Third World Capital.”

We invited her to speak at Palestine Solidarity Week. She was 90, but she came and held us spellbound with stories of the Algerian Revolution.

Extraordinary life. RIP.

I wake up early one day and begin to sound like that Uncle who says “Subah uth kar toh dekho” for every problem in life.

Woke up at 6 am for an early morning swim followed by hot coffee and uttapam for breakfast. Reading Derrida while it’s sunny outside.

Remind me why we need to abandon this world to build data centres again?

We are officially entering “Global Water Bankruptcy”.

The UN has announced that we will start running out of clean water (drinking, cooking, showering, dishes, laundry, etc.) in the next few years.

Water won't always be free. When clean water becomes scarce, it will be privatized, priced, and controlled. You will pay for it. And those who can't pay won't survive.

Data centers don’t actually need water. Data centers need cooling system and they are using water because it’s the most cheapest way to do it. Water should be for people before profits.

The world must remember that we live in a society, not an economy.

@humorosaurus Ah, all of this looks so good. I should go before it gets all crowded next month onwards.

Fun fact: For almost 200 years, Yemen was the world's only commercial source of coffee, which it exported through the port of Mokha (المخا). "Mocha" referred to prized Yemeni coffee and its distinctive, chocolatey notes. Today it means chocolate + coffee. ☕🇾🇪

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

Written after Gloria Steinem's visit to JNU in 2012. As willl be clear, I am not much of a fan, and unfortunately the things that had been said in that talk were quite egregious. Do read, if of interest. https://t.co/5flAKBt9qW
