@LowkeyKarela Thanks. Decided to take a break from this app. Opened it after months and saw your tweet. Glad you’re keeping well, and catching up on some great reads.
I started reading “on earth….” by Ocean Vuong. Been on my TBR for a long. A friend also wants to read BABEL together.
Every time I step out in Delhi I have to take a shower. People are blind to the pollution but you can feel it crawling on the surface of your skin, face, and hair
Only one group of people I feel terrible and sad for are the immigrant workers in these Middle Eastern countries forced to work in sub-par conditions because of unemployment and poverty in their home countries made into an international pool of surplus labor, now getting bombed.
we can’t “not be into politics” or “not make everything political” when there are currently multiple countries founding genocides and bombing other countries. it’s not something you can just ignore or stay out of just because it’s not affecting you directly
praying for the safety of foreign workers in the gulf states who have left their families for better economic opportunities in countries that don’t see them as human beings. may god keep them safe
