Now the story becomes: is Newslaundry evil or is Newslaundry a victim of vile slander? Both are easier than the truth: that women employees had real things to say and no one gives a shit. This is whatโs going to get lost.
This is why newsrooms stay toxic.
โpromiscuity in sexual matters is bourgeois. it is a sign of degeneration. the proletariat is a rising class. it does not need an intoxicant to stupefy or stimulate it, neither the intoxicant of sexual laxity or of alcohol.โ

i hate how people(even my own friends) keep forgetting that i use they/them pronouns. i am non-binary!! how difficult is it to not call me maโam and use the right pronouns ffs
The Sameer Project started from a desire to help our Palestinian people differently - with dignity, without conditions, and in a way that returned agency instead of creating dependency.
We continued because the genocide continued.
And now, we are devastated to say that The Sameer Project is being forced to pause our daily operations.
Not because the need has decreased. Because the money has run out.
We are panicking. We are stressed. We are heartbroken because we know exactly what this pause means for the people who rely on us.
Mothers still need to feed their children. Families still need drinking water. The elderly and sick still need medication. People are still being killed in airstrikes and shootings while the occupation continues to manufacture deprivation by restricting aid.
We have always been an emergency response group. When you donated, we spent that money immediately on people who needed help NOW. We did not save it for some predictable tomorrow, because in Gaza tomorrow has never been promised.
Now we are reaching a point we never wanted to reach: we do not have enough coming in to keep responding.
This pause is not administrative. It is not harmless. When food, water, medicine, transportation, and emergency assistance disappear, people can die.
We desperately need you to understand the urgency of this moment.
Please help us restart operations. Please donate. Please share. Please do not let Gaza lose another lifeline.
In the coming days we will share with you exactly how to be part of the solution - how to bring The Sameer Project back. The need did not stop and neither can we. Stand with usโฆ

This thing irks me so much tbh.
I regularly travel for classes and Delhi/Mumbai and Bengaluru are so genuinely insanely expensive tbh.
And then I visit Kochi or Bhubaneshwar or Lucknow and realise what normal pricing in India should actually feel like.
Heck, I kid you not - Tokyo is genuinely less expensive than Delhi.
Iโll spend less in a day in Tokyo on food and going out than in Delhi for similar food/eateries.
While we're on the subject, I'd like to re-up a piece I'd written in 2019 about my own experience of rape, the promise of restorative justice and the truth of prison-sentences for sexual violence. Sadly, not much has changed since.

The JNU VC must resign. There must be a thorough investigation into ALL faculty recruitments under her (as well as the previous VC Mamidala) & appointments cancelled if foul play found.
There must also be action taken against those complicit in the process, incl at the centre, school & admin level.
Anything less than that would be a disgrace to the idea of a good public uni.
On the light of @reporters_co article on corruption at JNU. Here's the president @aditi_jnu and @jnusu_official exposing her earlier. The whole union is rusticated now.
