"It feels offensive to say that I don’t love my grandmother...But the sorrow I feel for not loving my grandmother isn’t unique to me. It’s an emotion shared by hundreds of thousands of Malayalis who grew up outside Kerala."

The following is a guide for those looking to (re)start their reading habit. Based on behavioral science, my experience as a voracious reader, and observations of students who've struggled to build the habit. Hope this helps!

@alespassafiume @Twitter Yay I finally know someone who is verified! :D

I'm so excited to share my first freelance article as a freshly minted journalist! I've long wanted to articulate how and why we need to improve our understanding of vocabulary. This @MobileSyrup article does just that! https://t.co/RAKNS6zopM

Though this article is written primarily for an Indian audience, I wonder if others can relate too...
Are there conscious or subconscious obstacles that stop you from marrying someone older than you? https://t.co/XmlmzgXQtl

@DanielleHarder1 Congrats to all the grads! (And a special proud virtual high five for my journalism buddies 🥰)

#WhatsApp knows each user's timezone right? So how tough is it to display the time difference, below a contact's name at the top of a chat box? I mean, do I really have to calculate time between Middle East, India and Canada every day...and get enraged twice a year? 😀 @WhatsApp

How much more bearable would the pandemic have been if @Zoom had a loop video feature. Wanna grab some water during a work meeting? Hit 'Start Loop', listen to your boss for a minute with occasional nodding, and then you have 60 seconds of freedom without turning off your camera!

From #Colbert's #LSSC monologue yesterday.
"...the delta variant is rampant in Branson, Missouri, the tourist Mecca for people who are afraid of Mecca."
Ah what I'd give to be a clever monologue writer!

@NourHadidi Haha! Love that pause before "Atleast they take responsibility!"

[Musthafa Azeez @MMusthafaAzeez]

What if instead of music, customer support played one line jokes? Press a number and you'll get to hear jokes from aspiring comedians as you wait. Exposure and money for comics, entertainment for customers and less complaints for companies!

My feature about @canadianstandup's longrunning battle to get comedy recognized as an artform in Canada. Thank you @sandrabatt,@NourHadidi,@jeanpaulcomedy for highlighting the issue. Let's hope the people in power wake up soon! #comedyisart

@doilyboyz I agree it crops out important questions. I think main obstacle is a word count. Hard to provide a larger context within 200 words. But the movie 'Charlie Wilson's War' has a great ending scene that shows how things went terribly wrong after the war...

[Musthafa Azeez @MMusthafaAzeez]

As a journalist, watching mainstream media coverage of the attack on #AlAqsaMosque is both embarrassing and fascinating. While I can't believe they're tacitly perpetuating the narrative of "conflict", I hope I can understand from the inside how media outlets let this happen.

Writing can be a lonely endeavor, but I'm grateful I live in a time when a handful of people around the world can offer much needed words of encouragement. I hope make it someday. I pray I make it there slowly so I never forget the helping hands it took for me to craft my words.

I remember Conan O'Brien mentioning how Twitter helped him sharpen his comic sensibilities. He had to craft a joke that was (back then) 144 characters long. How has restraint helped you become better? #creativity
