As the largest black bird in the world, with its lustrous black plumage and a raucous voice, the raven is seen as a symbol of power, mischief, mystery, wisdom and intelligence. Yet, it is in Bhutan where the raven is given its highest place both on the royal crown and as the national bird. The hallowed status of the raven in Bhutan stems from its association with the raven-faced deity, Legön Jarok Dongchen.... A wrathful deity with a large raven beak, Legön (or the Lord of Action) is one of the many forms of the chief dharma protector Mahakala and, as his name suggests, is known for effectiveness and speedy activity.

Of course we have all talked down a friend from committing suicide of course we never told this to anyone, not their parents not ours. We cannot tell the people who are supposed to care about it the most because they won't help, they don't know what to do and do the exact opposite. Of course you can't call a friend's mother "aunty I'm scared for them please talk them down." No. That will only lead to worsening the situation. They will scream, shout and beat their child before offering a kind word. They will say how can you do this to me? And never answer the questions how could they do this to their child. They will blame the phones, their friends when the phone is the one where they called a friend to stop them from ending it all. They won't understand that isolating them is a surefire way of making it worse, because they don't care about the child as much as they care about another aunty's opinion on what's going on. They will hide it they will never talk about it cause this society doesn't see children as people. Children are just puppets to their parents who are puppets to society. I hold each and every adult responsibile. I hold every teacher who said why won't you think ofyour parents, of every aunty who doesn't care about us gossiping in guise of care i hold each and everyone responsible for you have failed your child when you were supposed to protect them

The only ones you are protecting is society, those in power. You won't let your child say that the syllabus is shit nor will you let them say a bad word against teachers who deserve it(cause teachers are gods, don't you know? I guess even demons seem like gods to the blind)

You think of your child not as a person but just an extension of you therefore you never understand that your child had individual emotions you don't understand they are not you and not everything they do is about you

You Have never once considered what your child thinks or feels you have never once centred them in their life's decision. You expect them to follow your will, yyour desires. You say 'i gave them food shelter education ' congrats you fulfilled your duties. Congrats you are providing the basic needs of a child who you conceived of your own will. If you think they should fawn over you for it you should've stuck to dolls.

I blame you. I blame all those who have never been a safe space for someone to confide in, i blame you for not being there when your child is about to jump and instead for blaming their friends who are the ones who talked them down in the first place.

Think of your child as a person for once in your life.

Note : every "you" here is not the reader. You is referring to adults, parents who failed to provide a safe space, who centered themselves in a child's hurt.

Heam and I were discussing giving Zea a show where she just observes other nations like she's filming nature documentaries; when she gets to India and China's episode involves things such as

playing bluff and swearing at each other in sanskrit

arguing over the right way to prepare tea but agreeing how Zea does it Is Wrong

"when were you born, Eleanor?" "1840's" "oh my gosh INFANT"

"When I was a kid I didn't have fancy toys, I had a stick" "okay grandpa, you also didn't have half the domesticated animals"

they keep trying to give her Bits of Wisdom and she will not retain any of it

she asks them 3 separate times if they remember the wheel being invented. They keep avoiding the question.

lovely little segment called "Tai Chi vs. Yoga (i'm bad at both!!)"

basically she ends up interviewing them instead bc they're a little too boring to just Observe Them

Eli standing there with her little microphone "These two are proof dinosaurs once roamed the earth"

solid 30 min of complaining about English ppl

"are u guys dating" "no more questions" "i'll take that as 'its complicated'" "no" "too late"

"I spent the first three hours here bored out of my mind, and i'm leaving with two new great-great-great-great-great-grandparents, see you next week :)"

The massacre in the Rafah camp was absolutely horrible. No sane person will look at those images and videos and not be shaken to their core. They are beheading children, airstriking refugee tents indiscriminately.

Lots of people have been sharing this graphic on their IG stories - yes, it's disgustingly AI-generated and in the same lower-than-bare-minimum vein as posting a black square during the BLM protests, but i guess it's palatable enough that the average 'apolitical' social media user can share it and feel good about themselves. It's something at least.

Meanwhile, Hindu nationalist reactionaries, like always, bring up minority Hindus only when another atrocity is happening. In the past 24 hours, I've despaired as so many of my old friends from school and college shared this graphic from a far-right page:

The post that this image is from also shamed all Hindus for talking about Gaza and not the Kashmir exodus (which, I can't stress this enough, happened in the 1990s, more than 30 years ago) along with another disgusting AI-generated graphic of an Arab man standing over a white, blonde baby with big bold letters saying 'where were you on October 7th?'. Lowest of the low. Pathetic.

It's a reminder that all reactionaries - band together - function solely on hate and discrimination - only care about their pet issues so long as they work in opposition of other things they hate
