It’s just a few days a month. Bring a towel everywhere you go, I guess, cause nobody’s eating my kitten.

I chose taxes because they provide INFRASTRUCTURE. So congrats on having your phone bill paid—public schools and libraries are now DEAD (along with the middle class and public transit).

Meanwhile, us South Asian people are out here in whatever old clothes feel most comfortable asking, “yes, what even is yoga anymore?”

Back when I was in college, I had this one Principal Investigator (a professor who heads up an academic research group, for those not in-the-know) who grew up in Hyderabad. Whenever any undergrad came in talking about their yoga class, he would grill them relentlessly on Hinduism and Indian spiritual culture, much to…

And is being monetized by companies headed by wealthy white men.

I am a middling yoga ‘practitioner’. I find the legging battle (in all its forms, this is just one facet of it) to be mildly hilarious. I do agree that places generally blow about sizes for folks who aren’t tiny and should do better. I like my athleta tights and they work for my larger lower half. they have decent…

I’m surprised that it has taken the public this long to take Alo to task. They feature all white extremely thin models (about a month ago they added a few image of a woman of color to their site for the first time in years). I don’t know why we women don’t take more of a stand on how we spend our dollars. 

This isn’t entirely related, but it’s funny how the “yoga community” doesn’t have one single Indian. I hate that it’s become so associated with upper middle class white women and their “wellness” moment.

GAH YES! I’m a woman in a committed relationship that’s quickly approaching marriage and children (which I”m honestly pretty happy about) but I’m getting so nervous about my career. I LOVE MY JOB, honestly. Yeah it stresses me out sometimes but it’s so rewarding and I’m so goddamn good at it. Luckily my SO wants to…

If we’re being honest, the entire childcare/work balance relationship is broken beyond belief in the United States (and probably elsewhere).

Ha. I remember some news reports several years back about how the French get at least five weeks of mandated vacation time, with no more than 35 hour work week — and by and large, the American response seemed to be, “Pff, they’re so lazy.” I’m just like, WHY DON’T WE THINK THIS IS A GOOD THING?! Working yourself to…

I’m never having kids so I can’t say I empathize exactly, but I really, really do feel you. And I want my sisters to get all the leave they need to take care of their babies and bodies. I got salty with coworkers who complained about pregnant women not coming in to work or people getting more vacation than others. I…

I am trying not to be super salty about this because any improvement would be good but for fuck’s sake. It is REALLY HARD for me to be rooting for better paternity policies for men (especially in other countries) when the maternity policies here in the US are still a goddamn crapshoot. I know it’s not the point of the…

It maybe good for theaters in the US but how do these movies fare outside the purview of US market?

In the case of Black Panther, it’s crushing it overseas, as well as domestically.

Seriously though, it seems even more telling that Dunham characterized his lines as a “massive insult of white women” rather than a fairly tame insult towards her character/show (and clueless hipsters like her) specifically.

I love this story and the fact that Chastain didn’t tell it herself or use it to defend herself when she was recently called out for some colourblind nonsense tweet. So many of her ilk only do this shit (and not nearly this much) to later prove their legitimacy, allyship or wokeness when their racism is inevitably…

Y’all are very kind. I write historical romance, which may not be your thing, but here’s a link to the first book in my second series:
