"I also got a bad taste in my mouth from Twitter supporting kinds of speech that I don't particularly agree with, and I began to feel like putting my toys and art there was just adding value to the network. For a while I felt that the tradeoff was that the art I published there still enriched my life and the lives of my friends. At some point, though, I started to feel like the balance got out of whack, and I could do more good by putting my work on alternate networks and giving people a reason to get off Twitter. "
All cultural producers with some degree of audience and influence should really think about this: what structures do I validate by my presence? What and whose structures do I reinforce? What other places can I advantage?

Modiji will beat Putinji within a week...
But his dear friend Bolsonaroji & his inspiration Trumpji are far ahead ;)
India's #COVID19 trajectory
1 to 1 lakh cases: 139 days
1 lakh to 2 lakh cases: 16 days
2 lakh to 3 lakh cases: 11 days
3 lakh to 4 lakh cases: 9 days
4 lakh to 5 lakh cases: 7 days
5 lakh to 6 lakh cases: 6 days
Surprisingly, research from India shows that women there have a higher risk of dying from COVID-19 than men.
It shows the mortality rate for infected women in the country as being 3.3% overall, while the rate for infected men is 2.9%.
In the 40 to 49 age group, 3.2% of infected women died, compared to 2.1% of men. In the 5 to 19 age group, only women and girls died.
The reasons why India should be an exception are currently being intensively researched.
Why do more men die from COVID-19?
Globally the ratio of mortality according to sex is about one-third to two-thirds.
BUT....India as an exception
