To the absolute piece of shit who abandoned this little puppy and left him with a rope noose tied to barbed wire, I hope karma bites you, ASAP. For anyone else, this super sweet pup who knows commands and is great with humans and dogs is looking for a home. #Bengaluru #URGENT

We have forgotten as a nation, the agony and despair of April 2021. Of our collective helplessness, how loved ones passed away, how bodies were dumped into rivers, burnt on the footpaths. We have forgotten. And we have not asked for accountability.

So stress-free and fun to watch a dramatic last over like that when it's not your team stuck in that situation. 😂

The procrastination monster caught me once again, and I've put this off. But I've given myself a deadline this weekend to START. 🥹 But bloggers, please tell me: how do I determine the best platform to publish on? I want something that's easily accessible, and free. Please tell!

Wow. This means it's been 11 years (GUUULLLPPPP) since I started working. I was at a digital ad agency then, and I needed to get acquainted with Twitter for some brand-related work. And just like that, this hellsite became an addiction 😂 #MyTwitterAnniversary

Any interesting ONLINE workshops/talks happening this weekend? I have no plans and would like to do something other than doomscroll reels. 🥲

Tasted the worst ever pasta of my life from today. Something in the name of vegan white sauce. If this is what you're pushing in the name of plant-based, please do remove it from your menu, for this is a disgrace to what otherwise can be a wonderful dish. 😵‍💫

Friendly reminder that India’s 1% divorce rate isn’t because of an overwhelming amount of happy marriages. It’s because divorce is still considered to be taboo and people are shamed for it and often not allowed to even consider the idea of divorce to be an option.

The numbers are respecting a specific year so this tweet can be misleading. For instance in 2021 there were few marriages in Portugal but from those 91% ended in divorce. This stat does not mean that 91% of all time marriage end in divorce. Source: pordata.pt/portugal/numer…

Attempting Marvellous Maisel season 5 and sincerely hoping it's better than the absolute bore that season 4 was. 🫠
