my refusal to cite stuff is my act of resistance against the white patriarchal citationality network and also i don't remember
Why can't we add water in toothpaste. Why are they selling toothpastes in such tiny tubes.

#SwachhHawaAbhiyan: While the Delhi Government is accused of sprinkling water at AQI meters to conceal how bad pollution in the city truly is, we were denied entry into an AQI station in Jahangirpuri. Three days ago, the Aam Aadmi Party had posted a video showing water sprinkling at this station, which is located in one of the most polluted areas of the city.

Most modern billionaires are just so tacky. Go endow a library. Fund research and get your name on a cancer center. Sponsor an eccentric polymath who’s obsessed with marble. Build a museum. Fund public parks. Back climate research. Create something that outlives your ego.

Today majority of people will burst fireworks, pollute the air and trash the streets , dump waste into drains , Scare the animals while Underpaid workers will clean up the mess for peanuts . How fucked up is that? Casteism, capitalism, and religion have ruined humanity.

I wish Bangladeshi garmet workers strength and all the victory. They clothed the world and all they were paid was pittance wages and endless grief. Victory for the oppressed classes.
We can lose ourselves but not parts of ourselves.
Like this extra weight, it's not going anywhere. Trust me, I plead everyday. But it ain't going nowhere. 🤷🏽♀️

The success of any festival these days is measured in terms of how loud it was, how much trash went into the rivers, how thick the smog was the morning after, and how many people were bullied for protesting

Once admirers of Ustad Bismillah Khan requested him to settle in the US. The Ustad refused, asking, 'Where will get the Ganga in the US'. Now his house in Banaras has been torn down. Life and its ironies!
जिनके लिए शहनाई नहीं बजी, उनसे और क्या उम्मीद करना?
भाजपा और उनके संकीर्ण सोच के संगी-साथी ‘कला और कलाकारों’ के हमेशा ख़िलाफ़ रहते हैं क्योंकि इन पुरातनपंथी-रूढ़िवादियों की ये संकरी मानसिकता होती है कि रचनात्मक लोग ही समाज में परिवर्तन की भूमि और भूमिका बनाते हैं। सकारात्मक कला सहृदयता को जन्म देती है और सहनशीलता को भी। इसीलिए कला के हर रूप को ये अपने एजेंडे के रास्ते में रोड़ा मानते हैं या फिर कला को अपने एजेंडे के लिए इस्तेमाल करके उसको नकारात्मक बना देना चाहते हैं।
जिनके आगे ‘भारत रत्न’ लगा हो उनकी मिलीजुली विरासत को ध्वस्त करना, उनके मान-सम्मान के साथ-साथ ‘भारत’ के मान को भी ध्वस्त करने के समान है।
भाजपा नफ़रत की आग में जलकर देश को नुक़सान पहुँचा रही है।
सरकार में आने पर हम ‘भारत रत्न बिस्मिल्लाह ख़ान’ जी की सांगीतिक धरोहर को बचाने के लिए ‘श्रवण-संग्रहालय’ बनाएंगे
घोर निंदनीय!

🚨 They bulldozed the home of the man whose shehnai announced India’s freedom.
Pandit Nehru personally arranged for Ustad Bismillah Khan to participate in the 1947 Independence celebrations.
Ustad played Raag Kafi on his Shehnai.
A man who performed wuzu in the holy Ganga and awakened Kashi with his shehnai.
He belonged to neither one religion nor one community. He belonged to INDIA.
Does this country not have even a few square yards of land to honour a Bharat Ratna who gave India so much?
They are bulldozing India’s history, heritage, and very soul.

FYI, fireworks originated in China. Mughals patronised royal displays; British commercialised the industry. It's a market built on gruesome labour exploitation & unsafe working conditions. It's a COMMERCIAL MARKET, not a religious obligation. Stop confusing consumerism with faith
This made me cry. I wish our daughters get justice. She is no more in this world and her parents are fighting for justice and being mistreated.

This is what we have become. This is our reality.
Nothing compares to an opportunity to harrass a Muslim man, police a couple marrying of their free will, and snatch away a woman's agency and punish her for daring to exercise it.
Done by officers of the law. In the premises of a court.
