There is so much to be angry and heartbroken about. So much. It feels like a video game where you can create your own unique anger-pain profile. Pick: fascism, environmental damage, cultural damage, communalism, digitalized casteism, ol' fashioned misogyny ++++

I’m going to add to the ongoing collective venting here: this stage of the chronic pandemic burnout is so real. Exhausted to the bone, and I simply cannot write. My brain is fried, my heart is tired, and my body is so slow. Thanks for coming to my vent talk. Bleurghhhhh.

On the manipulative power of white fragility, frailties of farcical intersectionality, and about affective apologies. Also about US and the war machine it is. Such a lovely piece by @ifra_asad

In the recent TISS convocation, a student simply held up a printout stating that a PhD student's expulsion should be revoked. The police went on stage and whisked him away to the station. No case filed AFAIK. But his degree certificate has been withheld I am told.

Seeing the picture of Com. Yechury being circulated where he is reading out the demand for resignation as VC of JNU to Indira Gandhi, reminds me of my MA convocation at TISS. It was 2011 and Jairam Ramesh was our Chief Guest. As the environment minister he had stood firmly on 1/n

I'll go first (yes I watch a lot of tiktok) @feministraptor taught me that everyone has different working styles and it is okay if I don't sit on my desk for fifteen hours a day. It allowed me to find and follow my own rhythm

The exhaustion is not particularly different in the US. I am SO TIRED of telling my students "I know it has been a tough year." Ok. So? Now what? Where do we go from here? Are all the extensions and cutting down of work and holding of spaces actually enough?

The second wave, or whatever, is viscerally more exhausting. Everyone kept trooping on, getting by, figuring out for a year. And everyone hoped that we were at the end of the non-smelly tunnel. The very thought of dealing with this for longer (how much longer?) owing to (1/2)

Also to be super sus of instructors who pile you with work and do zero care work but constantly tell you that you should be doing selfcare and taking time out. So basically if you are struggling it is because you are not doing the self care work properly and not because of them.
