Speaks up when she must.
Long before the term ‘intersectional feminism’ was coined, Savitribai Phule was an intersectional feminist.
This is a personal tribute to the person to whom all of us owe a debt of gratitude.

While we continue to destroy our wildlife and our tree cover, citizen scientists are hard at work documenting what still remains. And in the process proving how we once lived in harmony with nature.

"He is already your slave. This would make him mine."
Delightful letter from John Steinbeck to Marilyn Monroe.

here's a free tip for all the #TwitterMigration people:

mastodon ONLY has text search for your toots, and the toots of people you follow, nothing beyond that, so you MUST use hashtags for others to be able to find things you post. And don't be afraid to use them, unlike the hellsite, mastodon doesn't limit your reach in any way based on how many hashtags or links you use in your posts :)

and there's an edit button too

Hayat Bakshi Begum, mother of the Qutab Sahi ruler of Golconda, negotiated a true with Aurangzeb, Viceroy of Deccan, and convinced him to return to Agra without annexing the kingdom.
When he became Emperor, Aurangzeb returned to conquer Golconda. During the long months of the siege, he built his masjid at the foot of Ma Sahaba's tomb.
There were adversaries, but adversaries can respect each other.
This is Ma Sahaba's tomb. To the left is Aurangzeb's masjid
This is the face of a victim of terrorism. A young girl with laughter on her lips and dreams in her heart. A girl who would prance around in her mother's dupatta and eat tikkis with her father.
She is dead. #PragyaThakur was responsible for the death.

‘The girl in the sky blue dress? She is dead’

On Sept 29, 2008, Farheen stepped out to buy tikkis. Minutes later, a blast went off at Malegaon’s Bhikku Chowk, killing seven people, among them the 10-year-old. The story of the girl who loved taking strolls with her father, wearing bangles and dupattas and who “flew away like a bird”

~Wildflower~
Unfettered like there choppy oceans, boundless like the deep blue sky.
She sways to the music of the breeze,
waltzes where dreams dare not go.
Like a wildflower she is..
she cannot be contained
in rows.
