Never forget that you are the main data center. Drink water, and consume as much literature as possible.

So yesterday PCOS was renamed to PMOS. After 11 years and about 22,000 people fighting for it. If you’re one of the women who was told to just lose weight or come back when you want children, the reason it was renamed is going to make a lot of things make sense. Keep reading🧵🩷
I learnt something new about PCOS recently, I’ll quote soon

India has 101 million diabetics. 43% of "normal weight" Indians are metabolically obese. The single most effective intervention isn't a drug, diet or supplement. It's also not walking or yoga. It's picking up something heavy and putting it back down again and again. New video: The Science of Weight Training youtu.be/OyxZAFlpsZA

Damn 💔 Bengaluru, please buy your books from @bookworm_Kris on Church Street, please! Let's switch from Amazon, Flipkart etc. and support our local book shop 💪🏽❤️
Hailstorm hits #Bengaluru: Popular bookstore Bookworm Bookshop flooded, nearly 5,000 books damaged. Sudden rain and hailstones caused severe waterlogging, leading to heavy losses for the book store. #BengaluruRains @the_hindu @THBengaluru

On Ambedkar’s birth anniversary, we remember him as a lawyer who became one of India's earliest crusaders for civil rights, long before he led the making of the Constitution. He defended Communists, Congress workers and others whose politics he often disagreed with, against the colonial state's routine use of charges of "sedition," "illegal assembly," and "causing public hardship" to crush dissent. The stakes were never just individual freedom, but civil liberties itself. Caste, however, shaped his experience in the courtroom. While Jinnah argued a matter worth ₹2.57 lakh, Ambedkar appeared the same day for a schoolteacher in a case valued at ₹24. "There is no hope to gain from legal practice," he said, "because it depends on touchable people." He chose it anyway. By the 1930s he had become a leading lawyer for trade unionists. When leaders of the All India Textile Workers Conference were charged with organising an illegal strike, his cross-examination led to the confession that the owners refused to negotiate not because demands were unreasonable, but because organisers were "of communist colour." All accused were acquitted. His fight was not only against colonial repression but against social power, entrenched in the Brahminical hierarchy. In the Chavadar Tank case, savarna Hindus claimed a public tank as private property after violently excluding Dalits — Ambedkar won, the court holding that centuries of exclusion conferred no legal ownership. His fight also extended to defending civic rights against the 'hurt sentiments' of dominant communities. When the Dalit writer of Deshache Dushman faced defamation for calling Tilak "an enemy of the nation," he argued the defamed was dead and the complainant, no close relative, had no legal standing. When educator Raghunath Karve's journal on sex education was charged with obscenity, he argued it would only reach readers already seeking such knowledge — not the general public the law was designed to protect. In a world where legal measures are increasingly used to silence marginalized voices, Babasaheb’s legacy is a timely reminder of the power of legal activism.

I wonder if it’s the same for Doraemon gadgets lmao
A Stanford study found that people who played Pokémon heavily as kids developed a small region of the brain that responds specifically to Pokémon characters. Researchers scanned adults who grew up playing on Game Boy and showed them images of Pokémon like Pikachu and Bulbasaur. Their brains lit up in the same exact spot, a consistent area in the visual cortex tied to recognizing specific categories of objects. The reason comes down to childhood. When you’re young, your brain is more flexible, and spending hours memorizing hundreds of similar-looking Pokémon essentially trained it to carve out space just for them. (via @Stanford)

Every time I see a festival on the calendar I get anxious because people have been bursting firecrackers like crazy. At least in my area in blr. Fun story: I ended up calling the cops a week after Diwali because some fckers had been bursting crackers for more than a WEEK STRAIGHT at multiple times throughout the day. The cops actually helped and made it stop :0

Felt nostalgic so I went through all my personal diaries over the years and visualized how often I wrote in them. I also want to add the variable of what I was writing about which is going to be tough lol. Size of the dots are based on the day of the month, 1 being the smallest and 31 the largest
