Doing my part to break the stigma by sharing our story. We need constant & candid dialogue about suicide & #MentalHealth. It's never a cry for attention but a cry for help. Pay attention!

In the face of misogyny, patriarchy, and fascism, women are rising. Shakti is rising. No one protects more fiercely than a mother, a sister, or a woman defending her community. When women rise to protect their communities, nothing can stand in their way.

@VB_Elevators @FrankVeri That helped inform consumers, shaped public opinion& created pressure that farmers, industry groups & regulators could not ignore.
DFC's opposition was important, but it was part of a larger chain of events that began with scientists bringing the issue into the public spotlight.

[Shalini Tuscano @ShaliniTuscano]

@VB_Elevators @FrankVeri But why did consumers oppose rbST in the first place? Public concern didn't just appear spontaneously. Shiv Chopra a key figure who spearheaded efforts to challenge the approval process, raise concerns publicly, and bring the issue before Senate committees.

@Vagoish Is the Vatican bribing our politicians and taking taxpayer money to fund their genocide? No? Then that person can STFU

[P B D @redamon8]

@Vagoish Italy is not the Vatican.
The Vatican hasn't killed 20,000 children, controls an apartheid state where Jewish terrorists are allowed to murder locals Christians and Muslims with complete impunity.
Zero self reflection from Israelis.

friendly airport security guy, clearly joking: now which one of you is supriya??

my daughter: I think you’re joking but my mom told me not to joke around at the airport and she said that kids who don’t listen at airports end up like Kevin McCallister in the second movie

me: 😬

Trump canceled most federal cancer research funding,...

... and now demands taxpayers pay for his $400 million ballroom at the White House.

Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon https://t.co/bKteFZ3iWE

We are taught that serving water to thirsty is sacred. Yet, a child carrying water for her family is bombed. This is inhumanity at its peak. Anyone who justifies it or ignores it is part of it.
Israel speak against this cruelty.

[Fr. Chris Vorderbruggen @FatherChrisVor1]

The Pope removed his shoes in a mosque and people are outraged?
That’s not compromise. That’s basic respect.

If you enter someone’s home or sacred space, you honor their customs. We expect it in our churches. Why pretend not to understand it anywhere else?

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Hundreds of millions of people throughout the world are immersed in extreme poverty. Yet, disproportionate wealth remains in the hands of a few. It is an unjust scenario, in the face of which we cannot fail to question ourselves and commit to change things. There is no lack of resources at the root of disparities, but the need to address solvable problems related to a more equitable distribution of wealth, to be achieved with moral sense and honesty.

[Nazanin Nour @NazaninNour]

From “Help is on the way” to “we’re making a deal” to “regime change” to “we never wanted regime change” to “we did regime change” to “they can’t have nuclear weapons” to “this was all about opening the Strait that was open a few weeks ago” to “we should nuke the whole country.”

[Nazanin Nour @NazaninNour]

A psychopath.

Threats like this are also a GIFT to the regime, a regime that counts martyrdom as one of its main pillars, who have proven over the last 47 years that they do not care about Iranian lives.

Lunatics are at the helm on all sides, while the people of Iran suffer.

“But women sexualise themselves”… no, men sexualise our existence.

There’s a fetish for the schoolgirl, the teacher, the secretary, the nurse, the nun, the “innocent” girl, the “experienced” woman, the boss, the assistant, the submissive, the dominant, the “barely legal,” the mother, the babysitter, the neighbour, the coworker every version of us gets turned into something sexual.

Covered? There’s a fetish. Modest? There’s a fetish. Uncovered? There’s a fetish. Even discomfort, even vulnerability is sexualised.

The same woman will be sexualised and then shamed for it in the next breath. That contradiction isn’t ours to carry.

Saying women sexualise themselves is just a way to dodge accountability because no matter what we do, you were already going to sexualise us anyway.

@sabeer @LitmusTimes Far too many people have Mughal and Colonial Stockholm Syndrome and see things from that lens.

[Shalini Tuscano @ShaliniTuscano]

@LitmusTimes @sabeer What is known as Greece today was historically made up of several different independent city, states, kingdoms, and regions rather than a single unified country for most of its ancient history. Are we going to say Greece/Ancient Greece didn't exist before the 1800s?

[Shalini Tuscano @ShaliniTuscano]

@LitmusTimes @sabeer Why do you think the Mughals and British came to India? They came to take. Because it was known as "the land of riches" for over a thousand years. Because of Indian ingenuity and innovation. The Mughals and British exploited that for their own gain.

[Shalini Tuscano @ShaliniTuscano]

@LitmusTimes @sabeer Indian Subcontinent's GDP was the highest in world from the 1st century to 18th. The Mayura Empire and Gupta Empire, rulers who were indigenous unified India, a thousand and hundreds of years before the Mughals and long before the British.
