Hello. Let’s talk panic attacks. I am noticing that numerous people are experiencing heightened mental distress, so I am going to try and provide some helpful ways in which you can help a friend who’s having a panic attack.

This is why data centers are coming to India because they are facing this push back back home. Here the people and the government don't care if the water is that color or poisonous as long as they can hate and discriminate against minorities.

To the people accusing me of just wanting fifteen minutes of fame, remember: It is the media that made this about me. I would have liked it to be about press freedom in India. And press freedom in general in the world and other topics of my interest is also what I will continue discussing here.

This is a conversation India needs to have as well. We currently view these massive mega projects purely as investments, often ignoring the toll on local resources

[Why U @vayunandini]

Dowry killings didn't disappear. They just got educated. Earlier it was kerosene and a matchstick 'gas leak ho gaya, cooker fat gaya' and the case would close before the body turned cold. I have seen this in my own circle in Bihar. MILs executing it with such cold precision, no trembling hands, no guilt, no tears that meant anything. It was a system. It ran smoothly. Now those same women are educated, English speaking, socially presentable and the weapon has upgraded too. Now it's 'she was schizophrenic.' Now it's 'she had a drug problem.'
Different era, same blueprint, cleaner paperwork. Patriarchy didn't lose its volunteers. It just sent them to school.

I don’t know which married woman needs to hear this, but please remembering that sharing your distress is also insurance. Protecting a family’s honour is not. Please be vocal - at least with your friends and siblings about your marriage and your in laws.

“Samarth will appear. However, he also possesses the right to protect his own liberty.”

These are the words of a retired judge defending the absconding main accused - his son - in her DIL’s death case.

Her repeated media appearances psychoanalysing the dead woman as “impulsive,” “stubborn,” mentally unstable, and impossible to control - an attempt to put the deceased on trial while her son continues to evade investigators.

Not to forget that she herself is also an accused in this case, yet continues to be repeatedly platformed on national media to publicly discredit and smear the dead victim’s reputation.

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.

Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us — one of home, tradition and memory over generations.

My dearest @smritiirani pls stop pushing a false narrative, your chanakya neeti didn’t work, bringing in a women’s bill, from the front and pushing unconstitutional amendments from the back. The women of this country are not so stupid. Cmon give the women a 33% Now in the upcoming 2029 elections as well as in the State elections ,Do it now👍

[𝓑ᥫ᭡ @quesadaaa_]

personally i feel like folks (especially women) are blowing their youth trying to psychoanalyze men instead of getting hot & enjoying life. Men don't care about the impact of their own actions, why tf you do

[Sandhya Ramesh @sandygrains]

The most accurate metaphor for gender violence statistics. Bus full of empty seats but he will sit exactly beside her and then say he’s a victim protecting himself from women, and the men who tweet in defence don’t even bother noticing the empty seats the rest of us can see.

I VISITED A #BLINKIT WAREHOUSE TO REPORT ON THE #GigWorkersStrike

Here's what I found:
1. Himanshu, 25, said, "We've told our families we ride safely. But the truth is, we jump red lights. Overspeeding has become second nature."

2. Your ID can be blocked and you can be labeled "strike enabler" if you participate in a strike.

@AnuragRC @kubocare Yay congratulations!!!!

[वरुण 🇮🇳 @varungrover]

Last week on a friend’s insistence I visited Adarsh Foundation in Kurla East, Mumbai. Only to witness a world that’s probably among the lowest on this planet in all the parameters of progress. And in this world, Sujata Sawant and her team are up against the system and a funds crunch to feed people, get them educated, and save the youth from a life of drug addiction.

Please donate if you can, whatever you can. All details in the video. Or if you want to do a bank transfer:
