the amount of ways we have to qualify the geoncide in gaza in order to get people to care is actually sickening to me. “it’s a feminist issue!” “it’s a disabilities issue!” “it’s an environmental issue!” like i’m sorry but even if this was happening solely to able bodied men and was causing no harm to the environment, it would still be wrong because it’s a genocide and these people are being bombed and killed and starved every fucking day. you shouldn’t need an extra label to give you a reason to care about people that are dying.
I forgot the word chaos once. If it wasn't for the thesaurus I would have given up a long time ago.
some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.
If makeup products are made from petroleum, are we putting prehistoric carcasses on our face to look pretty??!!!
Do all desis have that one uncle who is queer enough that the pseudo-liberal half of the family is in denial about it and the conservative (proper) half is clueless??!
Current motivation to study and get a job is to avoid getting married and breaking mom out of her marriage.
how beautiful it is to find someone who has went through similar pain as you and you offer them the comfort you wished you had when you were in their position. its like gently taking off the armor, cleaning the blood wounds, keeping the sword to the side. and just being human. how tender it is to treat someone with love and kindness you wish you were treated with.
The Kolkata case was a well planned revenge crime. The mamata banerjee's government have tampered the evidence and it will make CBI job difficult, I don't know whom they are trying to save, but this case is not what it looks like. I strongly feel that, this was done by some very powerful and influential people. This is the condition of law and order in this country. There is no difference between government and criminals. Our laws are only for rich and powerful, you can purchase anything with money; the laws, the government, the crime, everything! The middle/Lower class is born to suffer in this country. Criminals know that it is easy for them to escape and laws are there to protect them, so even if they do wrong, they will be free. Government knows that people will cry for few days, there will be candle march for few days and after that everything will come back to normal. So, nobody really cares about the weak in this country. It is a brutal crime to have 'HOPE" in a country like India. Our beloved PM Modi ji has not uttered a word on this case because there are no votes or maybe he does not watch news, raga opened his mouth after five days, opposition parties are just blaming eachother (nothing new), I want to ask each of them that women make half of their vote bank, if women of this country collapse, how will your country run?
And, after this horrifying case no man should ask for a female doctor for his wife when she is sick or pregnant. No female officer should give duties and serve in villages away from their home when everything is only about men and for men and by men. It is sick to see the amount of misogyny, patriarchal society and how rarely things have changed. We are still in the same loop, people.
Yesterday, a man tied his wife to bike and dragged her, imagine. This is the fate of women in this country who will celebrate independence day tomorrow. What kind of independence we have? I am woman and I don't feel safe in my house when some male guest visit us, I am told to wear certain kind of clothes inside my own fucking house, I am woman and I feel uncomfortable around men when I go out, I am not free, so it's clear that independence day is only for men, not for women. I ask where a woman should go? Should we hide ourselves in a room? Why do government talk about women empowerment when they can't give basic safety to their citizens. Men need to learn that they can't treat women like trash and get away with it. This is suffocating, death is better than a life that is lived with a constant fear.
Crime against women is crime against humanity.
I sometimes wonder if my mom would’ve had a better life had she ended up with a different man,I know that would cease my existence,but I hope she knows that I would give up every fickle of my existence to make sure she has the life she deserved.
Growing up is realizing that you're still the same girl from kindergarten who no one wants to talk to.
