So honored by this beautiful review of my book the Traumaofcaste by #Priyaramani:
A Dalit feminist weaves an intricate tapestry of ideas to show us a vision of an equitable future and what to do to get there. https://www.bqprime.com/opinion/the-book-of-pain-and-love-for-every-thoughtful-indian?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=socialshare via @BQPrime #traumaofcaste

Thank you @manas@mstdn.ca for lifting up the #Traumaofcaste. There is a lot of power in approaching these dominator systems through the lens of healing. My book had data, history, personal story, exercise, and mediations to help those born into a caste and those who are allies to learn about the violence and to join the movement for caste abolition! Happy to share more!

Maryland voters and activists ringing the alarm on #arunamiller and #hindunationalism: “We should start looking at the Hindutva movement as a really potent, slow-boiling, long-term sort of foreign interference that really does have a tangible impact.”

So honored that @tricyclemag reviewed @traumaofcaste & named the book essential reading for American sanghas. This is powerful acknowledgment that #dalit Buddhists are here in the US and we are part of socially engaged movements for liberation everywhere. #jaibhim #traumaofcaste https://tricycle.org/article/trauma-of-caste/

How to get your $44 billion mid-life crisis toy named in lots of lawsuits: claim publicly that the company that you now own "interfered in elections."

I just graphed Mastodon's MONTHLY ACTIVE USERS each day for the month of November.

At the end of October there were 496K active users, and at the end of November there are 2.6M -- that's 424% growth.

This is just ACTIVE users; there are millions more non-active accounts.

(For comparison, Twitter allegedly has 396.5M monthly active users, or about 152x the active userbase of Mastodon.)

I spoke to @shannonpareil of @npr on how the chaos at Twitter has dire consequences for the safety of Indian users and other global majority users who are facing the threat of mass atrocity. We hope that someone at
@twitter can take these concerns seriously before it's too late. https://www.npr.org/2022/11/30/1139924914/twitters-chaos-could-make-political-violence-worse-outside-of-the-u-s?utm_term=nprnews&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=npr&utm_source=twitter.com

Hi all! Please listen to and share this beautiful episode of For the Wild in which Ayana is joined by me as I dig into the #Traumaofcaste.

We discuss Brahminism and its carceral logic as a caste soul wound that separates us from each other and from the broad web of life.

The commitment to caste annihilation comes with commitments to debrahminse, decolonize, and to abolish systems of carcerality, and to reimagine our world in love and endless possibility.

For some thoughts on what should guide content moderation for a social media platform should look like, The Santa Clara Principles are required reading:

The most important thing to recognize is that there are going to be mistakes. That is why transparency and accountability is at the center of these principles.

Join Asian American Writers Workshop for our powerful event on the @traumaofcaste. We will honor the journey Dalits have undergone in breaking the silence around caste. So excited to be joined by Dalit Americans Mimi Mondal, John Boopalan, Pabitra Dash and Dhanya Addanki! ✨

My copy of @dalitdiva’s Trauma of Caste has arrived! Looking forward to teaching this one.

@tylerzonia It absolutely it is. This attack was built after months of unhinged attacks on queer children's events, queer authors, and queer teachers. They all have blood on their hands.

Sending all my love and care to Queer, nonbinary, and trans kin. The shooting at #ClubQ is heartbreaking. There are no words for how wrong all of this is. I also cannot understand why the alleged shooter had a gun. He had priors for kidnapping and BOMB making. Where is the gun policy to stop this chaos? I also blame all the dangerous speech the right wing spewed this whole election cycle. The violence has roots in their disgusting attacks and it has to stop. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2022/11/20/us/colorado-springs-shooting
