    I'm happy to announce the life event that I've been waiting for a long time - collecting a diverse set of 100 coins from outside India. In this happy hour, let me share with you some of the interesting things from my collection.

    If JNU survives to see the next academic year, imagine the extra resistance a female student will have to face in convincing her family to study there

    Important message for allies 👇

    Please do not rush on behalf of JNU to court. We will legally move only after deliberation in the morning.

    ~Instead of referring to a political system of a deliberately structured kind, totalitarianism means a chaotic, nonutilitarian manically dynamic movement of destruction that assails all the features of human nature and the human world that make politics possible -Margaret Canovan

    It is high time a consensus is reached among the decent people of India. India is in a national crisis. Crisis of manic aggression, chaotic destruction and utter disregard to decent politics. What this disease of Hindutva is unleashing to us is not only immoral, but also amoral.

    டிவி, மிக்சி வேண்டாம். கல்விதான் இலவசமாக வேண்டும்னு உதார் விட வேண்டியது. அதுக்காகப் போராடுனா நக்கல் பண்ணவேண்டியது. 22வயசுக்கு மேல மிக மிக எளிய பின்புலங்களில் இருந்து மேற்படிப்பு, ஆய்வுப்படிப்புக்காக வரும் ஆயிரக்கணக்கான மாணவர்களின் ஒரே நம்பிக்கை JNU போன்ற public funded univsதான்.

    The numbers I had mentioned seem to be right.

    சேர்ந்து பல மாதங்கள் கழித்தே உதவித்தொகை கிடைக்குமென்பதால் தில்லி குளிரைச் சமாளிப்பதற்கான இன்றியமையாத sweatshirt, shoes, thermal, razai ஏதுமின்றி நானே ஓராண்டை மோசமான சூழலில் கடந்துள்ளேன். பழங்குடி, கிராமப்புற மாணவர்களாயின் அவர்களது பாட்டைச் சொல்லவே வேண்டாம்.

    எத்தனை மாணவர்கள் தமது வீட்டில், "மேலே படிக்கப்போகிறேன். ஆனால் செலவு பெரிதாக ஆகாது. நானே சமாளித்துக்கொள்வேன்" என்ற உறுதியுடன் இங்கு வந்து சேர்ந்திருப்பார்கள்? அவர்களைப் போன்ற பலரும் இனி எங்கு போவார்கள்?

    நிர்வாகத்தின் சொந்தப் புள்ளிவிவரத்தின்படியே இங்குப் பயிலும் 40%மாணவர்களின் குடும்ப ஆண்டுவருமானம் 14000 ரூபாய்க்கும் கீழே. இவர்கள் எந்த உதவித்தொகையும் இன்றி தலைநகரில் வாழ்க்கை நடத்துவதே பெரிது. இதில் கட்டணமும் உயர்த்தப்பட்டால்,they've no option but to discontinue

    On this day 30 years ago I was twenty, and a student in East Berlin. I was at a party when we heard the news. Something I thought impossible all my life had happened - the wall was open. /1

    RT @ideasmithy@mastodon.social My experience of getting harassed and how Mastadon dealt with it brought up some insights. 1. I joined Mastadon yesterday, a network that presents an alternative to toxic social platforms. Rest in the pictures below (1/2)

    Update: //Ca_Gi:"In real life I dont walk around with the list of my friends attached on my neck and neither of you (hopefully) does"// - This is not entirely accurate as I'm able to see many unknown profiles. There are some explanations, nevertheless the statement isn't accurate

    You can still be gratified by the boosts you get and the attention your toots receive, but there is a degree of revelation that the gratification is absurd. Mastodon makes you search for it, rather than delivering it in the silver platter like "40 people retweeted your tweet"

    I do not call as something detoxified, but it is not toxic vis-a-vis the qualities of Twitter that I wrote in this thread.

    He continues "Mastodon emphasizes real human socialization instead of espionage-style exploration of profiles". This is not unfair. I mean, Twitter can take these cents and introspect about this.
