#OTD in 1989, the Dalai Lama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Re-upping my op-ed w/ Madhura Balasubramaniam, written on his 88th b'day this year, where we argue that in recognition of six decades of service to our land and our people, India must confer the #BharatRatna upon the #DalaiLama.

A big shoutout to the good folks at Rang De!
Had invested in two agripreneurs, both of whom have fully repaid their loans with interest.
Do consider supporting this initiative which provides "affordable credit to unbanked communities”.

Spoke to a loved one, recently widowed, in their sixties, about
cultivating friends, interests, and routines after years of being a caregiver.
Remembered how scary it had seemed at inflection points, traumatic transitions…
May we all be held in a tribe and a purpose at every life stage.

I recently saw an academic (no need to name & drag for these purposes) complain that academics use bluesky for the self-promotional purpose of... linking to their own newly-published articles.
