haha. okay. so i'm the creator of a little isat au / webcomic called island in the sky, and today i was making a new sideblog for me and some friends. what do you know, i change the header and suddenly that sideblog just gets deleted. i look around tumblr to see if i can find it and suddenly island in the sky and my other isat-related sideblog are deleted too! the one that had two other people on it who were mods!

i hadnt worked on iits for a while. i was gonna come back to it at the end of the school year. but i guess not. ive contacted tumblr support to try and help but i guess all i can do is wait

fuck this. that's my project, i dont even care if this is a bug or spam detector, that's my project, and now it might just be permanently gone!! im so. happy. about this information

Discrimination is not necessarily a one-off, high-pitched melodramatic event of hurling abuses at somebody. It is a layered and continuous process that happens through every day doses, steadily creating an atmosphere of “us” and “them”. It takes subtle seemingly innocuous forms such as a smile combined with a frown, a wince, a hand gesture, or just silence.

Building empathy and fostering a culture of equality, dignity, and fraternity cannot happen through short orientation programmes. These should be built-into the curriculum at the IITs and should become the DNA of campus life for learning spaces to be sanctuaries. These are not just moral imperatives but can also play a huge role for a healthier and prosperous India.

A few thoughts about IITs

IITs (Indian Institutes of Technologies) constitute an important part of India’s higher education. From an institutional point of view, the establishment and growth of IITs provide interesting insights.
