So this billionaire "space race" is nothing more than a dick-measuring contest between Musk, Bezos, and Branson. They are not investing billions to forward science or the bounds of human possibility. They are doing it to be the first rich guy to bounce around uselessly up there./
If any of you are under the impression that our billionaires might succeed in "escaping" to space, while the world burns, let me put those fears to rest with what I know from being the spouse of a NASA flight controller. 🧵
In Tarun Tejpal case, the court did not recognise that women who research and write on rape are often sexualised, slandered and harassed.
Instead, the woman journalist was shamed, again and again, for her work and her solidarity with rape survivors.

Exploring the tiny worlds of lichens has been one of my saving graces this past year in an anxiety-ridden pandemic.
I’ve been wanting to do a lichen piece for a longggg time, but wasn’t totally sure how to tackle it. I finally took the plunge!

Some biologists refer to octopuses as having six “arms” and two “legs”, because the two rear appendages are generally used to walk on the seafloor.
These dogs are in Chennai, the guy is giving them up because he's getting married and his bride is not comfortable with dogs. Ask people you know if they wish to adopt. Black lab female is 6yrs and is spayed. Golden is 3 yrs male not neutered. RT for visibility
@somberiii I hope the guy knows he's probably leaving the dogs with severe mental health problems. Marry someone who is comfortable with animals perhaps? Not like there aren't any women who like dogs. this is horrible.
@TheOfficialSBI Indian taxpayers money belongs to Indians who need better healthcare, environment, standard of living, and other basic rights that we don't have but can definitely be funded with the loan amount marked for the destruction of our planet.#StopAdani
@TheOfficialSBI i would like my taxes to be used for the betterment of my country, without it destroying the natural resources by Adani. Refuse the loan. #StopAdani
Dear @TheOfficialSBI
Please don't fund the destruction of indigenous lands in Australia. Refuse the loan requested for the Carmichael coal mine.

@airtelindia@Airtel_Presence not to mention none of the numbers given (400, 8800688006) lead to customer care. Why force people to create UPI accounts? I don't trust you as a banking service. Isn't it my decision to create an account or not? Stop scamming age old customers.
@airtelindia@Airtel_Presence which part of this message says "i will create an UPI account with Airtel payments bank"?
Clicked link by mistake, and there was no way to stop creating an account until it got activated and i had to deregister. #Airtel stop scamming people. Okay?
I will share some of my observations, hoping that it helps those who don't enjoy reading policy wordings as much as I do

@ICICIBank_Care@ICICIBank@ICICIBank_Care what action has been taken? If you look up the Google reviews you'll see a list of complaints against the DBM. This is a persisting issue against the man and he seems to be sitting on his job after harassing and abusing customers?
@ICICIBank@ICICIBank_Care he asked her repeatedly if he had to touch my feet. He didn't even listen to my query, and when i got angry and told yes touch my feet he asked me to get out of the branch and walked off. What behaviour is this
@ICICIBank@ICICIBank_Care
what kind of people do you hire? What is this kind of behaviour? Dealing with banking during covid, at a time when everyone is having financial constraints, is an issue. And to top it we have men like these borderline harassing customers
