Because I haven't found it anywhere else online, here's Hoban's "The Dragon underneath the Mat." Sometimes I hum a dragon song.
Honey, from a neighbour's hive. We got greedy and bought this jarful.

Acting as Deepa D's informal publicity agent and letting y'all know that her show is ON from today, one performance in each city, starting today with Delhi, Chennai on the 13th, Hyderabad on the 21st, and other cities in between and after.

This campaign for an Indian queer theatre maker is only $250 away from being 3/4th funded. And she has 16 hours to go!
She's done some really valuable work for fandom over the years (I didn't dream of dragons etc) so let's try to get her there!
Will remind (if I remember!) I only remember the Hyderabad one, but yeah - I should boost for shows also.
Thank you! 🥰
Don't I just!
I'm ok... Just oppressed by the incessant rain. You?
(Pl repost the link for reach? Since I'm not active here and all).
Deepa D is raising funds for her theatre work travelling to various cities in September and today's the last day for the fundraiser.

R.I.P. Jayant Narlikar
Professor Jayant Vishnu Narlikar (1938-2025) I heard this morning of the death at the age of 86 of renowned Indian cosmologist Jayant Vishnu Narlikar. I understand he died peacefully in his sleep after a brief illness. Scientifically, Jayant Narlikar is probably best known…
For those no longer on twitter, but knew Kuffir from there and Round Table India, please donate if you can.
A fresh hell several times a day every day.
They want proof that people were thrown into the sea. 🤷🏾♀️

Did you see the SC re this today?
Just heard a doc say there are cases in Chennai that are clearly covid, it's just that no one is calling it that.
A thing that works for me is wetting a pair of socks and wearing it until it dries. Rinse, repeat.
My feet, hands and head heat up the most. Keeping specifically these parts of the body cool helps me.
Do we see the problem in expecting military/police/security at tourist places or no.
The latest tragic massacre in Kashmir is further reminder that brutal military occupations are good for nothing and no one but the highest of state powers. You cannot expect an open wound being deliberately bled to heal into a magical and safe tourist spot.
There it is. The clam before the storm.
Trying to stay hydrated but getting baked, like the rest of the country.
You?

No lies detected!
Also, as others said, cobalt is super easy.
Atmospheric CO2 has passed 430 parts per million.
The last time atmospheric CO2 was at 430 ppm was during the ancient Pliocene Era, three to five million years ago, and humans didn’t exist.
Not one single post (that I've seen; admittedly I haven't scrolled very far down) about the destruction of 400 acres of forest in the University of Hyderabad, the protesting students, the govt brazening it out, a stay order from the high court and the JCBs ignoring it to continue clearing the place.
April is #DalitHistoryMonth. It is also #PoetryMonth for a number of English-speaking netizens. A few years ago I had done a twitter thread of Dalit and Bahujan poets. This year, I will try to do women.

Gosh! How do you even remember!
Thank you dearest. I'm still only occasionally here but this notification turned up.
After years we made vadams because summer is here early.
