and about having actually meaningful demands, there are students in Tamil Nadu who have begun an indefinite hunger strike, demanding that NEET be fully abolished. this movement started in TN and it looks like it'll be TN who leads the real protest. one minister resigning has done nothing.

A marvellous and singular book, that brings to mind PIRANESI as a galactic fantasy, a Calvino-esque epic adventure, but is very much its own thing.

Today marks the one year anniversary of this book coming out in the US/Canada, almost the three year anniversary of it being out in India, and nearly the nine year anniversary of when I started it in 2017. The moral of this story is I’m old.

Not a huge fan of putting it out, but it's been such a month... I gotta raise around 300usd this week, and I'd rather find people who will like to commission work, buy some art or pick up prints (please share) lucidillusions.darkroom.com/collections/... ko-fi.com/lucidillusio...

What are the chances I can get 10 commissions in the next 2 week to help pay bills? (multiple assignments got delayed by weeks, so while I need to get some new shoots lined up, getting commissions also help or buying prints of my work) Photo prints: lucidillusions.darkroom.com or art prints.

"These protests mattered because they revealed both the fragility of Modi’s political aura and the continued possibility of democratic pressure in India.The state can absorb the message and adjust—or it can harden, punish and deepen the distrust that the protests exposed." I write in Foreign Policy

India’s Political Atmosphere Has Changed

If Modi responds to the Cockroach protesters with further repression, it could backfire.

I have been lucky to read a few issues and books by Stanchion by @fbereaud.bsky.social, Kristen Zory King and @jmgatford.bsky.social. I have received warm rejections that helped in their own way. Thanks for all that you did and will continue to do. @stanchion.bsky.social will remain much loved.

💯💯 Last week my conure chose me, the spare human, to take his after-treats nap. He stayed on my stationary wrist for almost thirty whole minutes. Admittedly, his preferred human was nowhere on the scene (he was in the next room), so I got lucky. It was amazing. :D

Utterly bizarre that Ferrara's BAD LIEUTENANT turned into a quasi-franchise (anthology series), but I don't mind! Get all the weirdo filmmakers to make one. Miike BAD LIEUTENANT sounds great.

I am going through Bram Stoker’s earliest notes on DRACULA today - they include a list of the powers and features of the Count (then named “Wampyr” before Stoker stumbled on “Dracula”), many of which are never elucidated in the book…

Big Trouble in Little China was one of my dad's favorites, and my soft spot for it is huge, so I couldn't resist doing a run of prints. A limited run of 20 is now up for preorder! (Per the new unofficial system, if those sell out I'll add a few more!) www.brianna-ashby.com/new-products...

ALL I ask is that people who reject Universal Basic Income out of hand because “People need to work” interrogate WHY they believe this instead of assuming it as a starting point.

On one hand it sucks that there's not enough desi crowd on this platform, but on the other hand, every post on threads and xitter (about state of indian politics and what the gormint is doing) is filled with replies from IT Cells or bhakts.

Now my television has AI and apparently I can't disable it. I don't know, man, if you really thought a technology was genuinely useful to people, you'd tell me it's there and let me decide if I wanted to use it, not pop it up every time I open an app and not allow me to turn it off.
