I tell stories. Nieman'21.

Probably listening to a podcast.
In this interview Stuart Pivar (Epstein's bestie) compares his perversion to "having Tuberculosis".

It is so messed up coz TB patients are stigmatized for having a persistent cough. Besides that, totally the same thing as industrial-scale pedophilia. Sure.

My grandfather would’ve been proud—he loved Reader’s Digest. Now I’m in it!

I think his old collection still sits on my uncle’s shelf.

Thank you, ‪@readersdigest.bsky.social‬ for your interest.

Manuscript complete.

I'm exhausted but also excited to share this urgent, timely project centering the post colonial history of journalism. ✊🏾

I’m now a coaching institute question in India.

If you haven't prepared for UPSC, you’ll never understand the level of emotional damage I'm causing out there....

Modi admin must answer for this under-counting.

In the fog of war, they slipped in that 7x people died from #COVID19 than previously admitted by GoI.

That's 21.5L excess deaths. Not 3.3L.

Who is responsible? Where are the apologies?
I spoke to @himalmag.bsky.social about that nightmare year

Yest, a court in India dismissed the case against @himalmag.bsky.social for reporting on Reliance's poaching of animals for their pvt zoo

👇🏾 Op part of the statement is how the investigation is gaining traction outside India as Indian outlets take down the reports🤷🏾‍♀️

This entire report is filled with alarming details about WHO's cash crunch but this 👇🏾 is the one I find the most telling.

Everywhere's a billionaire telling us we have no money for schools, hosps & salaries.

This was a satisfying checkmate. Knight checkmates are brutal.

This is *literally* the plotline for the first episode "Common People" from the new season of #BlackMirror

It kinda makes sense coz the entire world has turned into an enedless Black Mirror episode.

Loving this weird, modern re-telling of The Magic Mountain.

If you like plague literature & read a lot about TB, this is the book for you.

Not related to TB but I love the fact that the book gets its name from Empousa, a shape-shifting female demon from Greek myth who fed on young men.
