“Do. Or do not. There is no try.”

– Yoda. The Empire Strikes Back

I run a free newsletter called Caferati Listings, which shares writing jobs, assignments, calls for entries and submissions and the like; basically, opportunities for writers. It has just over 1600 subscribers.
After a good run, I kind of stopped sending it for five years, but restarted it earlier this year. You can see the archives at http://groups.google.com/group/Caferati-Listings
If you have opportunities for writers you'd like to share, tell me.

(Boosts much appreciated. Thank you.)

Dad's comment on #BabriVerdict

Judges kya 5th class maths padh ke aaye the judgement dene - "minus x minus equal to plus".

Two negatives se ek positive kaise ho gaya.

Unlike me he was convinced that verdict would be in favour of Masjid. He still is more optimistic than me.

The Telegraph nails it

Shiv Sena gives BJP the ultimatum...

Attempt to form the govt tomorrow without us and the alliance is over.

Stellar drama!

In the last 3 days, not only have many of us used #Mastodon as our primary social media, but @h_tejas and others requested the founder to add "casteism and advocation of casteism" in the code of conduct of its largest instance mastodon.social, and it is done!

Does Twitter even match?

Haunted by this. Beradt, the woman who collected dreams during the Third Reich:

"After her release, she began secretly recording the dreams of her fellow-Germans. For six years, as German Jews lost their homes, their jobs, and their rights, Beradt continued making notes. By 1939, she’d gathered three hundred dreams."

Some reports take me a lot longer to resolve since I'm not from India.. Is there maybe someone in this community who is willing to help me with this?

Unfortunately I can't offer any payments like mastodon.social so it would be a passion job!

You can apply by sending me a DM with some details about yourself and how you are affilaited with India.

I can't reply on them all but please so apply 🙂 #mstdn #moderation

"Please maintain peace" the rioter said. Searing poem by Aamir Aziz, the one you remember from the Ballad of Pehlu Khan.

What the #AYODHYAVERDICT is making me feel:
A failed Hindu for letting an outfit like VHP claim to represent me, without vigorously having challenged its' credentials for decades.
A failed citizen for having let politicians engage in posturing and institutions crumble under attack with none left to bring us any semblance of hope and justice.
A ghost, for surely, the country I believed in and thought was my home has been dead for some time now.

When those accused of demolition of #BabriMasjid start a campaign to respect #SupremeCourtVerdict, you know the judgement was approved by them in advance.
