Women should feel safe walking alone in public.
Women should feel safe at work.
Women should feel safe at home.
Women should feel safe online.
Women should feel safe in public transportation.
Women should feel safe EVERYWHERE.

RT if you agree!

The Colombo narrative now includes a demonization of tuktuk drivers that’re flogging their fuel on the black market to make a living. As if they’re the reason for the fuel crisis! Their illegal actions are a symptom of the economic collapse, focus on the disease, not the symptom.

Breaking the trend 👊💥…I joined the wall of former Chief Economists of the IMF 😀

If you've been treated with humanity and empathy at your workplace in the middle of an economic crisis, fuel crisis and gas crisis, consider yourself lucky. Not everyone is. That's it. That's the tweet.

People watched Framing Britney Spears, went “omg how could we have been so oblivious to the normalized misogyny of popular culture that feeds into archaic sociopolitical conventions, we must do better,” then proceeded to pile on to the public humiliation of Amber Heard

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

We spend too much time trying to reach other people's standards, and too little time defining our own.

It's better to disappoint another person than to lead a life that disappoints you.

Success is not about meeting someone else's expectations. It's about living up to yours.

BANKS FLEECING CITIZENS?

I received a transfer of RS 10,000 INR = 46,400 LKR from my family

However the amount credited by the bank was RS 38,935, a difference 7.5k? A 16% interest charged for remittance?

No Wonder People aren’t sending money.

[Gangulee (ගඟුලි) @GanguleeW]

it’s 2022. A man having to carry a child because the land is flooded, is not beautiful. It’s tragic.
You don’t think the teenager would have loved to WALK to his own exams without having permanent photographs of him being carried?

Stop. Romanticising. Struggle.

[Gangulee (ගඟුලි) @GanguleeW]

If you don’t take a break, your body will take the break for you.

Don’t be like me. Take. Your. Break. ✌🏽

[Madhavi @UMadhavii]

Yesterday, there were 0 tuks, I had to take a walk from where I get down to my home. It was drizzling & road was pitch dark, no street lights. I came home to a power cut. As I walked I had men singing to me, passing weird remarks & ..1/2

[Prasad Welikumbura @Welikumbura]

Some seem to portray this as a forward step. A more eco-friendly initiative by @Uber riders in #SriLanka.
Well, it is not. There is a massive #FuelShortage in the country & fuel price is exceptionally high. These riders are trying to make a daily living.

Today #SriLanka officially defaults on her sovereign debt for the first time in history.

30 days since we failed to pay an ISB coupon, and the end of our 30 day grace period to restructure.

What sad depths @GotabayaR , PBJ, Cabraal, @RealBRajapaksa and co sunk SL to.

Pathetic
