TW: rape, mental illness, blood 🧵Two days ago, a very young person threatened to rape me multiple times and unzipped his pants at a government office, where I had gone for a story on sexual violence-- he was battling mental illness, and addiction issues, among other things, and

Weather in #Delhi in May is wild. IMD is as baffled as us. I'd like to think this is #climatechange but we know that that's not accurate. I wonder if this weather's having any major impact on mating and nesting of birds. Here's a red vented bulbul's nest from a week ago.

Surprised to find that this was the only news article that connects the degrading #Aravali Hills and #dust in Delhi. Worth noting that ecologists have long warned that this is our only barrier to the #thardesert. I'm not sure #DelhiGovt is looking in the right direction.

In the climate space, Professor Saleemul Huq was one of the most important voices from the global south, tireless in his advocacy of climate justice. His death, at a time when voices like his are most needed, is a tragic loss. dhakatribune.com/bangladesh/329…

Why the #SC doesn't include researchers, scientists in their discussion on #DelhiAirPollution will forever remain a mystery. Instead, they rely on anecdotal evidence n limited understanding of a v complex issue, giving senile directives. #SupremeCourtofIndia

The fact that #NCR sky is full of #pollution rn is exactly why the Commission for Air Quality Management will never be more than a stop gap / bandaid. #CleanAir is neither a priority for citizens nor #DelhiNCR govts. Government of UP CMO Haryana Lucky Singh Arvind Kejriwal nature was on ur side this time. Shame #Diwali

Ministry of Health ‘s NCVBD makes no mention of #AirQuality in its ‘22 manual. Complete isolation bw govt dpts, esp Commission for Air Quality Management -a waste of taxpayer money. We ought to SUE u all.
