Dear valued publishers, if you really want to support the independent bookstores like us, we request you let readers buy from us also & not always put links to big online retailers in book announcement for preorder & after release also. Humble request from independent bookstores.

Wrestlers full statement. For those who can't read Hindi:
You all saw what happened with us on 28 May, you saw the way the police behaved with us. The urgency with which we were arrested when we were peacefully demonstrating. 1/n

GameStop from my perspective (as a liquidity provider):

A thread …

[Vivek Chikkareddy @vivevoce]

So cool, this thread. Also a harbinger of what might come - things happen slowly for centuries, and then quickly all together! We might see ELE as a result of climate change well within our lifetimes.

The Mediterranean Sea was dry 5M years ago

Then, a series of MEGAFLOODS filled it in a matter of months

How did the Med dry up?
Why did it fill so brutally?
How would it have felt to be there?

This is what we know:

—On Being Young Once—
🍃

Youth’s time has elapsed,
such lovely days
have passed away—

I used to pluck
contentment’s fruit,
drowsing in desires’ shade.

Then I found it had passed
like a falling star
or lightning’s flash.

my friend said that when you have high verbal intelligence (good at expressing yourself/arguing) you should be careful not to take advantage of other people who are less good at “debating” and that’s always stuck with me

I don't completely know how to explain this, but as a cat owner you quickly learn that "absence of cat (chill)" and "absence of cat (suspicious)" are two very different kinds of silence

Mother of an average child:

Yes, you read it right. I am the mother of an average child. By average, I simply mean my child is the average learner, average in scoring marks, average in sports and in extra curricular acivities. What's special about him then? 1/10

It was six years ago, and my mate, Pink, had just been told he was going to die. He accepted the news with a grace I can only marvel at, but he said he’d a list of things he’d still like to do.

We sat in a pub one night and read it over. Eight things? Four months? Ok. Deal.

Also remember a lot of us going back to the theatre a second time coz the song was right at the beginning of the movie, and you missed it if you were late!

For over a decade, we have discussed the ethics of mainstream journalism in India. As we close 2022, I want to park some thoughts here, grey, and complicated, and I certainly don't have a well-rounded opinion on them.
