It's just me

He does not deserve to die for this country who hasn't given him a speck of respect. He does not.

But he is dying. And only the government and its peaceful intervention can prevent that.

Suo: If you have to fight them…I understand.

Rakta: No, that’s not even remotely what I meant.

i want yummy bugrer

The cockroach janta party, or the cjp, a satirical online party, came out on the streets in India to protest against the paper leaks and systematic corruption in the education sector. This happened after the medical exam aka the NEET paper was leaked and around 17 students committed sucide. Othe students bodies like the Aisa, etc. have also joined them. The protest is being majorly covered by independent and indie journalist and channels. And as far as I can tell the Indian express, the print and scroll are the only mainstream channels to cover them.

Sonam Wangchuk, an imminent personality, an educator, inovator, and recipient of the Ramon Magsaysay Award, decided to join them and is now on day 17 of his hunger strike. To get accountability from the government and the resignation of the sitting education minister. Many students have also come forward to support him and are participating in the hunger strike. The government has not engaged in dialog with them. And his health is getting worse. And now there are calls for him to call this off as it might kill him. He has decided not to do so and asked why is the government is not engaging with them.

The movement is covered mainly online and if you can pls look it up. I have linked some videos below as a starting point.

What if the children go to schools unafraid of tear gas and bullets?

What if the birds come back, and the bees are healed, and every species moves from endangered, to threatened, to thriving?

What if the rainforest ADVANCES?

What if every parking lot had solar panels? What if every structure had solar panels? What if we built climbing gyms and terraced gardens in the skeletons of old coal power plants?

What if you baked your neighbor bread, and they shared their home-grown blackberries?

What if every person who needed a home, had one? What if every person who needed healing was healed?

What if every body was treasured for what it was, not what it should be?

What if every trans child's parents attended their graduation, their wedding, their new-name-day?

What if every warehouse became a closed-circle repair station? Goods flowing out, and back, and out again? What if landfills started to SHRINK?

What if the water and air were clean? What if there was enough public transit that the cars dwindled, leaving the streets safe for kids on bikes, evening deer, midnight cats and foxes?

What if we win?

The condors are back. The whales are saved. The sea turtles are no longer endangered. The cranes are back. The bees are recovering. The air in LA and Tokyo and London is clean again. The aquifers in the LA Basin are refilling.

Children are kinder than previous generations. Parents are stopping the abuse cycle. Being trans and queer is more acceptable than ever on a ground level.

It's hard to see if you're young, if you don't know how to step back from social media and the news. But remember--bad news sells, and the algorithm knows despair keeps you scrolling. It's a skewed lens.

We are fighting and we are winning against this adminstration's bullying. We are coming together against the bullies and they are running away scared because they don't understand that we will do that.

People are working hard every day to find ways to make sure fewer animals get hit by cars and planes and rockets.

Maker spaces are more common than ever. Solar and wind are more common than ever. Coal plants are shutting down every day.

Unprecedented numbers of acres are being bought back or given back to their rightful stewards, and the world heals because of it. People are working hard every day to learn how to help a forest recover faster.

We are not at zero. We are at decades of effort to heal the world. We've come SO far.

In 1982 there were only 22 California Condors left in the world. In 1992, when the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), with its public and private partners, began reintroducing captive-bred condors to the wild. In 2001 the first wild nesting occurred in Grand Canyon National Park since re-introduction. In 2002 there were only 8 pairs of wild nesting birds population-wide. In 2008, for the first time since the program began, more California condors were flying free in the wild than in captivity. Today there are nearly 500 – more than half of them flying free in Arizona, Utah, California, and Baja Mexico.

When I was born, there were no condors in the wild. I'm 37 now, and there are over 250 condors flying free.

When my mom was born in 1955, there were days when she wasn't allowed to go outside to play, because of the air pollution. When I was born, that never happened anymore.

When I was born, humpback whales were critically endangered, and people thought they were going to go extinct. Today, they've recovered to exceed their recorded numbers. Other whales too!

We fixed it.

Since 1990 extreme poverty has decreased worldwide by over HALF.

especially the youth of this country, please please contribute in any way you can. Share it in your family groups, post it on your socials, talk about it with people around you. If you can join peaceful protests, please do. If you can't, then at least try to make people aware of everything that's happening in OUR MAHAN DESH.

We all know how f*cked our education system, judiciary, and honestly the whole freaking country feel atp.

Every few weeks there's another paper leak, another protest, another case that people are angry about, another family asking for justice, and then somehow everyone just moves on like nothing happened. That's exactly what this freaking ahh failed system wants.

A distracted public is easier to ignore than an informed one.

And

Don't do this "NONCHALANT FINAL BOSS" shi

It just makes you someone who looked away while people your own age were out there fighting for things that affect all of us.

Your degree, your job, your safety, your future...none of these exist separately from what's happening in this country.

Please keep your aesthetics aside for some time. The perfectly curated feed can wait. Your stories aren't only for sunsets, concerts, and photo dumps. Use them to spread awareness too. You don't have to know everything or become an activist overnight. Just don't scroll past everything like it's someone else's problem.

It's our problem and we have to use our rights to find the solution...
