This week @Public_feelings reads Prof. Srinivasan's brilliantly argued text, The Right to Sex!
Bhagwan Das, who worked with Ambedkar as his research assistant, noted Ambedkar's passion for reading in his memoir. As a fierce educationist himself, Ambedkar is a critical figure in the history of Indian education. This week, we read @Public_feelings

On this 14 August I hope I live to see the day when people from all over the subcontinent can cross these borders without an issue. When we can drive to Amritsar for breakfast and be back by evening. I hope our coming generations live to see that EU-like future. It might seem like an absurdity today but it’s dreamers who change the world.
Family and friends in Jammu have not slept a wink. De-escalate now! Stop promising a war that uses Jammu and Kashmir as cannon fodder. There are points of no return in such 'skirmishes'; de-escalate when you can. India and Pakistan must immediately de-escalate.
Drone attacks reported from Jammu city. Parents sitting under blackout. Sunjwan, airport, samba, trikuta nagar, digiana have reported.
What's happening in Jammu? Can someone doing ground coverage connect please? Was on call with parents and heard explosions and then a blackout? is this some drill?

The child Ahmad Al-Najjar was targeted this morning by an Israeli drone while trying to collect some food aid in Khan Younis.
When Dr.Singh was asked about BJP's charge that he was a weak PM, he said politely 'That is for historians to judge. But if by a strong PM you mean you preside over the massacre of innocent citizens, I do not believe this country needs that kind of strength, least of all in a PM'

'Recounting the details of the video evidence risks prurience. But precisely because rape culture is so successful at producing excuses for its perpetrators – and because our own imaginations are shaped by patriarchy and the porn it produces – the details become crucial'
Does a feigning body not betray itself in ways that even an accomplished actor cannot contain – a flickering eye, a tense arm? The brilliant @DrSophieSmith in the LRB:

The Islamophobia & Xenophobia by the far-right/fascist groups in the UK is appalling. But for every one of those riots & microaggressions, there's protests & microsweetness. Latest chants from yesterday's protest at Oxford:
Say it loud, say it clear: refugees are welcome here!
My brilliant friend Mori Reithmayr narrating their friend's story about fighting back and keeping the fascists in check:
No borders, no nations! Stop deportation!
Kudos to this amazing person cheering the whole crowd with their (I think self-composed?) song on solidarity and community.
