Trying to get Claude to build a plant watering scheduler and after unsuccessfully trying to retrieve Wikimedia images it gave up and stated "Nothing is working. I'm going to hand draw the plants"

Excited to share “Poisoned Wells,” which presents the largest point-in-time study of website blocking in India to date. I tested the blocking of 294 million apex domains across six Indian ISPs, sending 1.76 billion DNS queries in total.

@BlrCityPolice, this account is taking photos of women on the metro without them knowing, AND have a telegram group for probably worse images. @instagram feels it's not going against community guidelines. Pls look into this!

What natalist & fertility idolaters & cultists do not understand is that it isn’t always about an ambition of doing something “impressive” or “groundbreaking” that makes a woman not pursue motherhood. It is because she has in her conscious or subconscious memory images of her own mother, grandmothers & aunts who exalted motherhood as highest purpose, as a magical event that will suddenly give you purpose and fulfillment & those same mothers, grandmothers, aunts also being the sad, hypercritical & irritable things who often treat her own children like yet another burden of expectation placed upon her shoulders. She then uses them as a tool to cope, to justify something to herself.

You also recall how they speak fondly of memories, of their hunger for experience of anything beyond the smallness of the mundane, of wishing to have had more courage. You remember how they both adore you & condemn you for living beyond their limits — that one daughter who leaves the village in order to know what God knows.

If you want women to pursue it, you need to frame motherhood as what it is — a calling, a vocation, and a sacrifice. Of your flesh, teeth, bones, body, emotions, time, often other dreams & aspirations, not as something you as a woman “ought do” because otherwise you are a vapid, stupid little thing who serves no purpose. The Feminine just “is”, it needs do or achieve anything to serve a purpose. The Feminine also cannot be motivated by giving markets their consumers & military ranks their meat. It cannot be motivated by efficiency or end-goals. A woman’s only motive can be the realisation of herself. All else leads to regret because you betrayed yourself, you submitted to the wrong god.

Then when you speak truth of motherhood, a woman may, of her own volition, decide to pursue the path of that sacrifice & feel dignified & proud in it because it is done in knowledge. “You just use your ovaries as you should” is how the lowest of men speak of women, why are you, a woman, his loudspeaker? Why would you subject your daughters to his tyranny? Slay him & set both yourself & your daughter free.

Need to amplify a scam @BlrCityPolice

I booked a hotel from @MyTravaly ID (MTR242503881) for 6k, got no room booking and instead asked me to pay 9k more for booking another hotel. I asked for refund and got no response. Such a scam company! Refund my 6k back. @ImHamlet_OG

everyone crows about slippery slopes but can't imagine the nightmare precedent set by commodifiying and privatizing emergency healthcare. when will techbros learn

[disha verma @di_shawarma]

Friends… adopting & applauding private services that should inherently be state function will harm us all eventually. Once the service/sector is captured by a company they will use it to exploit the common man for profit. Think price hike, health surveillance. Hence “dystopian”.

just returned from SL and I feel this. How does a country that has undergone SO MUCH have incredible roads (everyone following rules which takes so much self control), charming (not servile/fawning, mind you) citizens, sturdy infra, green cover, and be modern but retain culture?

[Harnidh Kaur @harnidhish]

The ‘India is dirty because it’s poor’ and ‘India is dirty because people don’t know better’ arguments really blow out of the water when you come to a country like Sri Lanka. This country has seen such incredible strife, trauma, grief and still comes out on top re civic sense.
