When I get elected to the Residents Welfare Association of my parents’ apartment complex I will introduce compulsory dosa consumption in South Carolina

Shouldn’t he have released a cover of Greensleeves ?

I need this everyday.

Like apart from anything else … an Indian-American born or naturalized in the US (or for that matter the UK) *cannot* “bring the entire family… from India”. If that were the case there would not be a huge and growing industry for elder care in India because the children are naturalised abroad…

I want every single one of my Indian-American MAGA-leaning "friends" to see this. Not that it will change their voting patterns but one can hope.

Notable it requires a foreign outlet to give this sickening story, of a white-British man's violence against a brown migrant woman, the coverage it demands.

I apologise for the distressing details but felt they needed to be laid out Passing a life sentence, the judge called Ashby "a deeply unpleasant racist and Islamophobe" who posed a high risk of further sexual violence to women

Content warning for graphic sexual violence Read this. THE *VICTIM* WAS A RECENT IMMIGRANT I’m going to throw up actually

This article will turn your stomach and has already turned me into a “in our grandmother’s time - sorry, my time - we were weaned on dal, rice and boiled veggies and did well actually” type of person, which is quite odd for me

This is very weird and does not seem right to me at all. I wonder how randomly selected the samples were (split by gender) e.g. did they control for more women who are actually concerned about nuclear power responding vs men

I keep having to refresh my mandatory How to Avoid Being Eaten by Bears training :(

1. People who don’t care about their visibility are rapidly eaten by bears 2. Anyone who is a nerd or nerd adjacent should be forced to pass a course in this before they’re let out into the world on their own

Get yourself a copy of INDIA STREET LETTERING www.blaft.com/products/ind...! Better still, secretly send one to a friend 🫠 @blaftrakesh.bsky.social

Can see why they hate Indian and Chinese immigrants. I knew this was wrong when I was 8 I think

“Experts say the algorithm failed to take into account key cultural issues, including that there is no standard form of transcribing Bengali names into English script, and that Bengali surnames have been adapted over generations, leading to small spelling inconsistencies between family documents.”

I speak Hindi reasonably fluently. Except for numbers. Can’t do numbers sorry.

The baby fever line is particularly funny because most of the people I know who want to have kids are men 😂

And we don't get that if we let a few companies, or a couple of countries, flatten/colonise/same-ify everything. Many are high right now on increased personal capability (lots of "Ma, look what *I* made, and don't tell anyone it was Claude") but there are hard limits to personal capability

Bit late for #wildflowerhour but here are some cuckoo flowers (Cardamine pratensis) for #Cabbagefamily week (…I think)

There’s a … North Korean embassy in Ealing????!!!!!???!!!

This morning was leading a #sarsen walk in West Woods for @wiltshiremuseum.bsky.social in fabulous sunshine.

I forget exactly but there must surely be a break clause in the standard HMG Model Contract for when a supplier goes completely out of their mind?

When you read this you immediately think "ah yes, these guys should be involved with the NHS"

Swavoury? Swoasty? Picklish? Fricy? Thanks, Waitrose, you've put me right off food. All food. I may never eat again.

Kash Patel experiences what it’s like to work in tech in 2026.

If you wanna inject some positivity into this world, my request to you is: If you like a creative person (artist, musician, craftsperson, literally anything), tell them you like their stuff. Doesn't have to be me, in fact I'd prefer it if it wasn't, but you'll make their day, I promise.

Just passed a place called Marsh Gibbon. I love English place names

I had to see this, so now you have to see it too

As a former corporate lawyer who shoe horned my way into a big firm in Sydney by taking a job as a PA, asking to work on discovery, proving myself worthy of the firm paying for cross qualification to work there - AI has totally shut that route down. AI needs mitigating before embracing

The amount of “Forbidden” that’s going on, I feel Bluesky has turned into my much-feared PT teacher from middle school. All of you are now forbidden 🚫

Extremely fancy soaps for sure, but also: a very fancy flower garden

Love to be treated as if my existence is a crime 🤦🏽‍♀️

Good Lord!!!

I want to say “ Lord I see what you’ve done for other people” but I can’t pretend that one individual is the problem in my country any more.

Adding my voice to those saying that the LLM spam was a super predictable problem. Not just us dyslexics who have a problem with getting the reading done.

A dyslexic working life drowning in ever higher piles of LLM generated slop could make things much harder, rather than freeing up time.
