also, consider donating to my friend siraj @siraj2024
his fundraiser
an interview i did with him about fundraising and his decision to resist ethnic cleansing
therapist: and what do we say when we feel like this?
me: no live organism can continue to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality
therapist: no
would like to explain my situation a bit:
i have paid half my rent this month (6800/14000INR) because i had to incur personal expenses such as travelling, paying my brother's sem fees, and some other things. i was able to rent a fridge because it is impossible otherwise in this stuffy room (only a ceiling fan) and food was becoming a bigger expense if i was buying stuff to cook only immediately /eat immediately. so this is where i am at
i did try to give tuitions but the location is far from my office so i can't balance both everyday + the travelling back and forth would be an extra charge (i already cant afford transportation to my work, i only have enough for two days)
andi got some work on here, and then i sold one of my vintage record covers (i dont have a record player i just had a really good old hindi film poster that somebody offered to buy)
so this is where i am at, and it is a matter of urgency. i was able to stock up on food because somebody gave me a giftcard i added that to the goal money too) so i am not worried about my cats, at least for a week or so.
i dont really like explaining my situation in complete detail because i am... well... embarrassed/ashamed and also aaaah it feels bad but yeah!!!!
any and every help literally matters a lot right now. i am willing to do ur homework, write ur assignments, or any other service i can offer (if ur in india and need help with things i can help with that too!!!!) so that is all !!!

i'll never stop holding the opinion that systemic subjugation of women and children under patriarchy is not a result of degenerate sexuality or "urges" out of control btw. there's a reason ted bundy (yes, the serial killer) jumped at the opportunity to tell the religious right in an interview that he was corrupted by pornographic magazines. in fact i've seen the right increasingly cling to this perspective precisely because they feel it absolves them
religion is so fucking funny the world is just too beautiful there must be a higher entity behind all this. lets oppress women
I remembered that google maps has an option to also go through the older street view footage, and while the place looks a lot different now, in 2009 this spot looking towards my childhood home looked just as I remembered it being when I was 5 years old. Painted from this streetview screenshot:

NGL I JUST HEARD SOMEONE SAY, "MAYBE YOU DON'T NEED MORE TIME TO HEAL, MAYBE YOU NEED MORE EXPERIENCES THAT SHOW YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM A DIFFERENT REALITY," AND YEAH... IT ECHOED IN ME]
i made a post like this before but I can't find it now. so. I'll just redo it.
What's the first "big news story" you remember from when you were a kid?
It's something I love to ask mixed-aged groups sometimes because I think it's really interesting to see the responses. I've gotten answers from the Olympics of [whatever year] to Watergate to more recent stuff from my niblings.
My first news thing I remember is the OJ Simpson trial. I vaguely remember watching the news with my grandparents before that, but that's the first story I remember, in part because my second grade teacher had us go play so she could watch the verdict 😂
to all the non-delhi residents/people who can't join the protest for xyz reason, who are feeling helpless and guilty and don't know what to do: spread the word.
no, seriously, spread the word. there is so much misinformation out there, partly due to the useless indian media channels who are calling protestors fighting for a chance to be heard "terrorists". they're saying that the protestors are committing brutality (like throwing stones) against the police when it is the opposite.
its a police using teargas and batons against teenagers, women and literal children. they're ripping the clothes of the women. people are badly injured. all because our corrupt coward "education" minister cannot take accountability for paper leak which caused over 20 deaths by suicide.
some are trying to derail the protests, calling the protestors "anti-national" and but you have to do your part in ensuring that this revolution isn't over until dharmendra pradhan resigns and the youth of india are heard and acknowledged. it will save the future of the students who are currently preparing/will prepare for similar exams.
spread the videos of the police brutality (save them if you can), write emails to the pmo, and share as much info as you can about the protest; how and why it is happening. speak up; online and also in real life, translate posts/videos, make your own. correct and educate people who are still against this movement. don't let this die out until our government finally listens to its citizens.
don't stop making noise.

Being blocked on tumblr is the funniest thing ever because when you visit their blog it dosen't even say you're blocked, instead tumblr will try and gaslight you into thinking the blog never existed at all. What the hell so you mean "there is nothing here" I literally saw my mutual reblog this post that is time stamped 2 hours ago.
No one fired pellet guns in Delhi.
Yet, Irshad Mansoori, 25, and Sahil Lochab, 19, are lying in Delhi hospitals post surgeries with serious pellet injuries on their faces and bodies. Lochab has '1% possibility' of regaining vision in his right eye. And there's a third victim, a reporter with Outlook, who was hit by pellets on the same day Someone owes 25-year-old Irshad Mansoori an explanation. He lies in a hospital bed with a pellet lodged near a blood vessel in his neck even after undergoing a surgery on July 21. Someone should also explain to 19-year-old Sahil Lochab, recovering from a surgery on July 22, how he received a grievous eye injury and multiple pellet wounds across his body. Delhi Police has repeatedly insisted that it did not use pellet guns during the July 20 march. No other security agency has acknowledged deploying them either. Over the past two days, Alt News met both young men, spoke to their families and friends, and traced a chain of evidence that raises a simple question: If no pellet guns were fired, how did they end up in hospital with pellet injuries?
[...]
On July 21, acting on a tip-off, Alt News reached Lady Hardinge Medical College (LHMC), where Irshad Mansoori was undergoing treatment. We met his friend outside the hospital, who said he was Mansoori’s only support at the hospital. Mansoori, 25, is originally from Jabalpur and works at a private company in Gurugram. The friend told us that Mansoori was near Connaught Place on July 20 when he was struck by pellets allegedly fired from a distance of around 40 to 50 metres. A selfie taken from Mansoori’s hospital bed shows multiple small wounds across his face and neck. Three pellets — one beneath his eye, another lodged close to a blood vessel in his neck, and a third in his facial cavity — caused particularly serious injuries. His friend told Alt News that he had signed the consent form before surgery but that neither he nor Mansoori had been given information about the treatment. He also alleged that hospital authorities refused to hand over even the CT scan report. When Alt News approached the doctor who had come out of the operation theatre after Mansoori’s surgery, he declined to comment and directed us to the institute’s director instead. Around the same time, Mansoori’s friend, who had gone inside to see him after surgery, messaged one of the Alt News correspondents saying he would step out shortly. Minutes later, he wrote that he was not being allowed to leave the ward. He described an incident in which someone had arrived to meet another patient in the same ward, prompting what he said was a commotion involving the hospital administration and eventually the institute’s director. According to him, security personnel were posted outside the ward after that. By around 10 pm on July 22, Mansoori told Alt News he still had not been allowed to access documents relating to his own treatment. Speaking to Alt News from his hospital bed, Mansoori further said, “I am in no position to press the hospital over my rights as a patient at the moment, especially because I do not have any real support system here. My only focus is on recovering properly and quickly. Right now, I am in a lot of pain in the eye, face and upper body because of the surgery and the pellets.” “I am really worried about how the injuries will affect my life. I think there needs to be some compensation for my loss,” he said, while almost breaking down. Mansoori was conscious and alert when he arrived at the hospital. He told us he was aware that another protester had also suffered pellet injuries and asked about his condition. When we informed him that 19-year-old Sahil Lochab, admitted to another hospital, could permanently lose vision in one eye, he was shocked.

Sahil, 19, a resident of Najafgarh, told us, “I had gone to the protest, and was somewhere around Jantar Mantar when I was hit with the pellets. I do not remember the exact time right now. I was looking in another direction when the pellets hit me.” He sustained injuries to his right eye, face, chest, back, arm and the right side of his body. “I was first taken to LHMC by two fellow protestors. My mother along with my maternal uncle came to LHMC. After keeping me there for sometime, I was taken to Safdarjung Hospital and then to AIIMS. I have not been able to see from my right eye since the injury took place.” His mother, Jyoti, told us, “The hospital authorities at LHMC informed us that Sahil cannot be treated here for the lack of facilities required in this case, and thus Sahil is referred to another hospital, but here during admission process (at AIIMS), they did not accept the reason of referral and I was made to sign on papers which did not mention the reason for referral from LHMC at all.” His maternal uncle, Sultan, said Sahil waited for several hours before undergoing surgery after midnight on July 21. “Most of his outer portion of the eye, the white portion has been destroyed and the first surgery was about this white portion. The second surgery will take place in seven days, when the middle layer will be operated upon. Doctor told us that there is only 1% probability of regaining vision in the right eye.” When Alt News met the family around 6 pm on July 22, they said they had still not received any document relating to Sahil’s treatment.
