BR Ambedkar, India's first law minister, had rightfully said, "Caste system is not merely a division of labour. It is also a division of labourers." The one space where Muslim, Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe and Other Backward Classes communities find themselves overrepresented is the informal economy which employs over eighty percent of the work force. This implies that the most socially oppressed are, as a majority, doomed to work in the most precarious jobs in the country while decision-making for their communities around resource allocation and policy happens in their absence. There is a need to critically examine how the development sector and the civil society allow systemic inequalities to persist in its design and foundation. The lack of scrutiny has led to the misconception that some uniqueness exists in the sector. Organisations are able to avoid addressing these issues by issuing tired banalities such as "we do not see caste and religion." In reality, this is a refusal to acknowledge their existence, preventing us from imagining a more equal system of relations.

another childhood bucket list item obtained: i finally have a snuggie
#and it's the real thing not even a knockoff#kinda surprised they still exist#but also not surprised bc Blanket. blanket is universal#i just remember a lot of those As Seen On Tv ads like. imploding within 5 years#they still do As Seen On Tv products like there are still boxes marked with that logo it almost feels wrong like an ancient relic#bc most like. ubiquitous 2000s brands from my childhood are just Gone or at least so fundamentally changed it's not the same thing#heard about like 50 more companies going bankrupt probably in the last year alone#anyway ive always wanted a snuggie it's one of those Always Wanted things that never go away#others include: staples easy button (obtained!); mini fridge (not); pillow pet (i had a knockoff once); power drill (not)#i spent a surprising amount of my childhood actually going out of my way to buy stuff i could use in my own apartment in the future#i grew up lower middle class and then just lower class#so like. i always Knew i couldn't just furnish the whole apartment at once i Knew I'd have to build stuff up over time#also bc when my sister got kicked out she had like. nothing. in her trailer. and i did not want to have nothing#i knew if dad was willing to just toss out my sister like that i would absolutely follow suit#and i did! two years younger than my sister when she was!#it just happened that my mom didn't want me homeless at FOURTEEN when i legally could not work for two more years#so she went with me and we lived with my grandma#so take that dad. turns out throwing family members out willy nilly makes the rest of your family not trust you or like you!#and now i get to rub it in his face that HE can't function in a house by himself and still needs to beg my mom to clean up after him#bc i spent so much of my childhood getting berated and called lazy for not doing chores#getting told stuff like 'you have to function by yourself your parents can't always pick up after you'#and then he's literally useless without his wife#he's not disabled and he's not neurodivergent he's never even had a serious health scare he just doesn't bother to learn how to clean#his excuse is that he doesn't know how to use the washer and dryer (it has been almost ten years fucker. learn)#or he doesn't know which cleaning products to use (you have google and a library card. LOOK IT UP)#he's the only person i get mad at for this behaviour bc he's a fucking hypocrite and a child abuser about it too#he is the exception to my rule of everyone needs to be given the space to get things done where they're able and deserve help when needed#and I'll bend over backwards to make excuses for other people so i DONT exclude them from my rule i will try to find every good reason first#he has no fucking excuse though he made two teenagers nearly homeless bc he thought we were too lazy and then he's even worse

I truly can’t believe I have to say this but I am so so sick of some people my age (namely those who are tiktok users, and therefore are deeply influenced by “woke” stereotypes about queer people and queer identities that are often perpetrated on that site) telling me that it’s weird to talk about growing up as a female or about experiencing sexism because I’m not a girl? and that it either “makes it seem like I’m not really queer” when I talk about my connection to girlhood or that these things “shouldn’t concern me.” because they very much do and that’s such an ridiculous and inconsiderate thing to say.
I was afab and whether I wanted it or not I was treated like a girl and experienced childhood as a girl. I am not out to many people in my life and in their eyes I am a girl.
as a genderqueer person I still experience and feel very connected to my girlhood and the solidarity that I have among girls and women because of shared experiences despite not often identifying as a girl myself. this is because of many factors including socialization, oppression and personal identity. truly can’t believe most people I know (and quite a lot of people online as well) still don’t understand that the oppression I have experienced as a queer person who was afab and the oppression I have experienced being seen as a girl are interconnected and that we have to address multiple layers of discrimination simultaneously if we want anything to change. this is. not new information. I can’t believe people don’t get this.
#like there’s a very obvious regression to backwards gender roles on tiktok atm#and this affects people who don’t identify as female or male as well because if you have your girl boss girl dinner bimbo queens#and your borderline abusive masculine energy manly men#then nonbinary people are put into this third easy to understand category of#uwu they/them no gender goblincore inhuman elf cuties#and obviously this is as harmful like the other two because it generalises and stereotypes real people into toxic trendy groups#but it’s also harmful because people will think that if you are one of these then you can’t be another#cis gay men get a pass on tiktok and are allowed to be slay queens as well#but if someone is trans than they have to act very stereotypical of their gender or they’re questioned#I have seen this far too much in tiktoks to pass it off as a few harmful users and not the marjority#bc it really is the majority#and if it was only like that on social media I would care less but people literally act like this irl everyday#my aerial class in particular is really bad for some reason#every signal teenage girl there acts like this and says really harmful stuff and I’m just like#do you hear what is coming out of your mouth ???#and they have pronoun badges even tho they’re apparently cis and dyed hair and the like#which I think makes them think they look like woke gen x girlies#but doesn’t help them with actually being normal and respectful to other human beings#from the groups they apparently support#shit I really ranted here but I’m so fed up#sexism#misogyny#girlhood#nonbinary#anti tiktok#tiktok critical#gen z#mine#genderqueer

this is an old article and maybe old news to some but it’s very interesting in terms of examining the history of the us-israel relationship and how they’ve been working together to terrorize people for forever….

📖 ( AU ) + DnD
half elf, only child and heir to human, king solomon lauter, stephanie denies and tries her best to hide from her noble background as the princess abruptly fled from her home in the middle of the night and despite the high reward for her return, steph has been a year free of her royal duties as she roams and does small mercenary tasks for pay to survive, secretly on a mission of her own, in part to find out more about the strange being her father has worshiped her entire life and haunts her at night, and to find out what happened to her mother, one day hoping to reclaim her kingdom for herself but unable and unwillingly to do so with her father on the throne--- well someday. right now, she just wants to figure out and put an end to the strange voice that pops up inside of her head from time to time and the occasional toll it takes on her.
for now, though, she is living day by day, trying to hide who she is, what her family is know to worship and who she is from- she cut her hair short, she has an amulet that prevents her from being tracked that she stole, even going as far as using a fake name- eila.
in terms of dnd classes- steph has three levels in warlock from her upbringing, though she is aiming to one day free herself from the corrupt forces ( ie- nibbly, who she is trying to pull herself free from his commands and frequent nightmarish visions he sends her way ). she has multiple levels in rouge and will be taking various little levels in different subclasses based on those around her.

The National Programme of Nutritional Support to Primary Education (MDM Scheme), launched in August 1995 emphasises on the provision of cooked meals with a minimum of 450 – 700 calories and 8-12 grams of proteins and was further converted by the National Food Security Act (NFSA) 2013 into a legal right upto Class 8. Over 94% of the children in government and government aided schools come from Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe, Other Backward Classes and minority communities. For a majority of children in government schools who are from marginalised communities and malnourished, garlic, onion and eggs form an important part of their diets, limited only by the factor of affordability. Eggs have been denied to children as part of the mid-day meals in schools for several years. Described as the ‘menstrual discharge’ of the hen, eggs are labelled as ‘sinful’, ‘violent’, and agitating the senses, with egg eaters deserving to be ‘destroyed’. If, instead of this unscientific propaganda, the nutritional value of eggs had been the primary deciding factor, children would have been given eggs as part of the mid-day meal scheme on 5 days of the week.

The other day some of my art classmates started loudly reciting tumblr posts in class and never have I been so repulsed and magnetically drawn to my own kind
Alas I did not jump in….

I am so sorry to the girl in elementary school who was so annoying to everyone specifically for saying it was weird her favorite color was yellow. Yellow is not just the pee color. It is the sun and flowers and warmth.
I’m only sorry about that though. Everything else was deserved.

["There's not a whole lot I could do, especially when everyone was against me"] it's church up in this b!tch #pedophilia #solved #questionMark
I'm really not going to sugar-coat this. This is going to blow your mind-ussies wide fvcking open in terms of belief. We as humans were created for sex-slavery and perpetual warfare to entertain a runaway extra-terrestrial civilization. Pedophilia now has two sides of a coin. There's those who just want their innocen-- mb, there's those who just want their innocence back, and there's those who use the young and youthful for energetic vamprism because they age rapidly due to not having Christ within their souls. In other words, they steal chakra. They abuse and harm for the 'agenda's' continuation to keep us enslaved, confused and dumbed down. #frameSkipping #mb Which is why I "thump the Bible" so hard. Because Christ Jesus is supposed to be the last sacrifice. That's why vmapires (typo lolz) aren't in the Bible. Because they can just use Jesus's blood. #InvokeTheBloodOfChristJesus #it'sSanguine 🥴#weAreAllChildrenOfGod there are so many consequences to the human body for engaging in any form of cannibalism. So for Christians during their #Communion, they eat crackers and drink wine as a substitute. "This is my body, and this is my blood." https://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sumer_anunnaki/anunnaki/anu_49.htm
