My second collection of poems, Fifty Mothers, that weaves narrative and elegy for my gone mother, is now open for preorders! Big love to Han and @amorak
at @RiverRiverBooks for believing in this work!

The public shaming and centering of girls using abuses is obviously not going to embolden violent men including ones family members to commit more open and concealed atrocities to them amirite.
In the last decade, every time a woman—of any community—has criticised the BJP on any social media platform, she gets called Randi and receives rape threats in her replies and DMs by the BJP supporters and IT Cell. The same folks now want the Gaalis to be curbed at them.
Getting a little annoyed at the ease with which savarna liberals are taking potshots at Dipke. He's not perfect but he stepped up. Took on the govt & won.
Sure he towed a safe, mass-y, generic middle line & is close to AAP. Personally not my favorite politics but he did it on his terms & (need I repeat) won!
I have no connection/agenda with CJP honestly, just a question-- Is a Dalit leader so unacceptable that even in victory, savarna liberals have to micro-analyze who'd be a better leader?
Seeing a lot of progressives expose themselves. Fun.
