Are private schools better than public? From a job applicant’s pov: private! They send you personalized rejections. Public schools send form rejections with words misspelled and you feel more sorry for the state of education than yourself! #publicschools

"Suneja’s debut novel asks what it means to both belong to and resist categories of geography, religion, caste, and time."

Still out here talking about partitions, borders, and love across borders: its necessity, its impossibility. Thank you to @_preetysidhu and @ElectricLit for the conversation. "By loving each other, are we making the world a better place or not?"

I’m horrified to see the bombing of al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza and unequivocally condemn it. I urge the Israeli government to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza and reiterate the call for a ceasefire. I am directing $300K to three charities helping Palestinian people under attack.

Thank you @lithub for giving space to Partition narratives so we can unpack the tragedy that continues to dictate South Asian identity.

"What is the Partition now? It is a difficult legacy, it is memories of resentments, it’s the cause of border wars. It’s the othering of minority neighbors." @Shilpits recommends Partition narratives. lithub.com/mystery-mayhem-an…

I put together this reading list on Partition for LitHub. The epic tragedy that killed 1 million people and uprooted 13 million takes years to understand and unpack. These books make it easier: lithub.com/mystery-mayhem-an…

The fact that we get paid at the end of the month and rent is due at the beginning of the month proves that the world is build for capital and capitalists!😑💁🏾♀️

"A poet's work," he answers. "To name the unnamable, to point at frauds, to take sides, start arguments, shape the world and stop it from going to sleep."

The fact that men can’t create new life like women can must drive them so insanely jealous, they try so hard to control this process on which they have very little control. #RoeVWade
