@axelk Define mainstream. Spicy sandwiches are mainstream in the global south. 😜

[Deepikah R B @deepikah]

What needs that kind of power? A- Industry/ Manufacturing. Who gets most of their manufacturing outsourced to India/China?

The answer is always consuming less.

We still do not have updated regulation on thermal power plant emissions in #India. Mind you, it's one of the biggest polluting factor for our prolific air quality. And yet for reasons known to industries, thermal power plants continue to pollute extensively (5/n)

🧵 A perspective on Canadian wildfires & transboundary smoke in the East Coast of the US. Images from #NewYorksmoke appear apocalyptic but this time around there's an Empire State building instead of India Gate in #NewDelhi. Internet is buzzing with visuals of an orange sky (1/n)

How to send good wishes to artists:

- may your pencil always have a lead in it.
- May you always find a piece of paper to draw on.
- May you never run out of ideas for your next artwork.
- May you never drink paint water kept next to your yummy drink

Some of you have such loving mothers for how badly you behave. 📸👀 #notahappymothersday

We're not letting dominant caste media steamroll us here in America like they've done in India for decades. But ofc they're welcome to try!

PS The Atlantic piece, which called out this toxic show before calling out this toxic show became mainstream. Fin!

Today, almost 3 years later, New York Times publishes a piece saying, It's Time to Break up With Indian Matchmaking (mostly because of caste)

What changed?The conversation around caste thanks to the incessant labor of Dalits & allies who made sure desis can no longer ignore it!

[Deepikah R B @deepikah]

Seema auntie just called out one of the dude bros to be casteist even tho they didn’t understand caste. Seema Aunty the heero we don’t deserve. #joke #indianmatchmaking3

Whether you are a successful artist or you can pay your bills depends on whether or not you can also make lobby art. 😒 #hardtruths

@chauhananjali98 @mohakprince @AbbakkaHypatia @roomynaqvy @_ADeshpande Wow thank you so much!

[Deepikah R B @deepikah]

I’m writing a paper about queerness in India vs in the west from an art history lens. Who writes more about the caste / class privileges in India apart from Spivak/gayatri Gopinath etc? Who r your favourite queer Indian artists? #academia #QueerDiaspora

Analog is where it’s at!

[Jessica Hische @jessicahische]

What if every designer you know who took up stick and poke tattoos, ceramics, or some other analog only activity in the last few years was picking up universe vibes about AI’s impending revolution like how cows lay down before it rains?
