ICE Confirms Agents Do Not Have Faces Beneath Masks

My toxic trait is believing I can convince someone in power to create a long-distance, luxury sleeper train journey for TN, starting from Chennai and hitting all major points across the state and returning to Chennai 12 days later.

Suddenly remembered that Madras had a ceremonial Sheriff. Maybe we should bring it back, give that post to peeps doing interesting stuff and have some pomp and splendour again.

From ‘The Onion’ Editorial Board:

The Network of Women in Media, India (NWMI) condemns the controversy generated over the invitation extended to renowned Kannada writer and International Booker Prize awardee Banu Mushtaq to inaugurate the 2025 Mysuru Dasara, Karnataka’s Naada Habba (state festival).

You know what would be a fantastic niche business idea A clothing store which displays clothes in just one colour or best two. Grey and white.

The #SIR was presented as a long-overdue administrative reform...to include all eligible voters, eliminate all ineligible voters. Preliminary analyses released on 1 Aug suggest that more women than men have been deleted from the rolls #GenderMediaElections #GenderLens #Elections #Politics #Bihar

Is there a word for that urge in your 40s to go find a suitably remote location inside a forest and live among trees and avoid all humans?

TN Govt's new #Transgender Person's policy. So terribly disappointed. This is a watered down, useless document that does nothing and says nothing that hasn't been said before. And it is horribly bent towards just one part of the trans community.

I'm here to say, oregano seasoning from dominoes mixed into grainy crunchy molaga podi/idli podi is a winning idea

Town Hall in Madras has been renovated I hear and they're going to use it as a full time cultural venue with exhibitions of Tamil and Madras history etc. Can I get the Curator and event Director job please? Who do I tag to make this happen? Mayor? CM?

Dowry Deaths and Misplaced Notions of Honour #InkSights by #NWMI member #AnupamaBijur In Tamil Nadu’s Tiruppur district, 27-year-old Rithanya ended her life two and a half months after her wedding, allegedly driven to suicide by relentless dowry harassment. nwmindia.org/gender-lens/...

Avakkai urugai being made. A bit late but just managed to get some reliable mangas.

I'm thinking I'll start a shop specialising in Tamil/South Indian whole spices. I want to call it Cinnamony Kuyile

Has anybody done a queer studies paper on the gay and lesbian representation in Agatha Christie books? Mr Pye of Moving Finger, Hinchcliffe of Murder is Announced and others? Pye is a camp, femme gay man for sure. Hinchcliffe is a hutch dyke in relationship with a femme woman

Charges of secession, separatism against political commentators is a chilling indicator of an inherently illiberal, authoritarian response to dissenting opinions. Ultimately strikes at the very foundations of a democracy. #DrMedusa #NehaSingh #TheRantingGola #Pahalgam nwmindia.org/statements/p...

The twin engines of the manosphere and ‘momosphere’, spreading through viral, seemingly harmless social media content and fueled by algorithms, pose a major threat to the hard-won gains of the long feminist struggle for equal rights. nwmindia.org/gender-lens/... #InkSights #GenderEquality #Media
