@British_Airways Is there any way I can connect to BA Customer Care before my flight leaves? I am from India and the contact numbers on your website aren’t connecting from here.

[Dr. Anushka Sinha @hajabaralaa]

@British_Airways On 28th March, I have a tight connection via LHR - 1 hr 20 min. Inbound is from BOM and I’m flying to BWI. In case my flight is on time but I miss my connection due to delay in deplaning, security, finding gate, will BA rebook me free of charge? How to contact u?

India's casteist media is silent on this issue? Dalit Shailaja Paik, born in Yerawada, Pune, Maharashtra, has been named a UC professor MacArthur Fellow. She has received a scholarship of Rs 6 crore 71 lakh. Shailaja has received a 'genius grant' to continue her work with Dalits and untouchables. Congratulations are in order. @r_gov11 @manoranjanpegu @jaffrelotc @uofcincy

Walter Benjamin ended his life today in the year 1940.
The most moving essay about a visit to his grave in Port Bou was (in my view) written by the anthropologist, Michael Taussig.

"There is no document of civilization which is not at the same time a document of barbarism."

— Walter Benjamin

[Synekura Audio @synekura_audio]

One of my favorite photos of Walter Benjamin. Why? Because in it he looks like one of the Marx brothers on a date [the photo was taken in 1921, and the woman standing next to him is a friend of his from his youth]
