Mamdani's Hudson-East River Tehzeeb > cowardly GOP Hindus' fear of mentioning Hindu holidays or the attempted Aurora massacre.
This week, I was blessed to join Hindu New Yorkers in Queens celebrating Navratri, Durga Puja, Dashain, and Vijayadashami.
We danced garba, performed aarti, witnessed Sindoor Khela, and honored the Goddess Durga.
It was an honor to come together in joy, faith, and community in temples across our city — especially after the attempted mass shooting at a Hindu temple in Illinois last week.
May we all join together in our shared responsibility to stand against hate and care for one another.
Jai Mata Ki.

in a world of Jerrys be a George
Jason Alexander says he feared visiting Palestine as a Jew until 10 Palestinians protected him during an Israeli army raid in Ramallah
“How much of a risk would I be taking as an American Jew walking into Palestinian cities? And Mohammed said, ‘The greatest dishonor that could happen to a religious Muslim is to allow harm to come to an invited guest’”
“And he said, ‘Jason, if they had to, they’ll take a bullet for you.’ And what was so interesting about that trip is, we were having lunch in Ramallah with a bunch of actors and artists at a sort of outdoor restaurant”
“And the Israeli army was conducting a raid on a bank that they thought had terrorist ties a couple blocks away. And they must have, to announce themselves, just shot into the air. And I remember 10 of those guys at the table surrounding me. And I went, ‘Oh my God, he wasn’t kidding. They’re not going to let me get hurt’”
i forgot to note but yesterday was Dussehra. (happy dussehra!). the day that marks the goddess Durga’s victory over Mahishasura, a demonic shapeshifter who changes his form but never his position. it marks the start of advent to Diwali: which begins election week.
Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke on Tuesday announced that the outfit would not organise any protests until Diwali, urging supporters to take a break from demonstrations and spend time with their families during the festive season. In a video message, Dipke, who refers to CJP supporters as “cockroaches”, said the events of the past few days had left their families worried and that it was important for them to be with their loved ones.
“Right now, I just want you all—all my cockroaches—to request that for a few days, you spend time with your families. Festivals are coming, and after what has happened in the past few days, your families must be very worried,” he said.
“Spend time with your families. Be there with your families, be there with your loved ones,” he added.
Dipke also said his parents and the families of fellow CJP members Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka were concerned amid the ongoing developments.
…relative to the source population if not America’s, there is a correlation with lower agreeableness too
anyways, this all should be taken with a grain of salt
pretty skeptical of OCEANing in general but this does seem… not true to me? like anecdotally i think agreeableness is of the five the closest to “no correlation” to transness
openness and neuroticism would obviously correlate a lot, i don’t see that extraversion and conscientiousness *should* but in practice i feel a smaller negative correlation, but agreeableness is really all over the scale
