'In his book Dayan Gatha, written in Hindi, Mullick wrote, “the disintegration of tribal lifestyles” in central India started with the “emergence of the state in forest areas”, and “if colonisation shook the roots of tribal culture, the internal colonialism of the post-colonial era uprooted it in a very short time through the unprecedented plunder of resources”.

Some key changes of this period include the move from perceiving land as collective property to individual property and the shift from subsistence farming to surplus farming for the market.

Quoting anthropologist Peggy Sanday, Mullick further wrote, “In situations of extreme social oppression and cultural disruption, men unite and direct their aggression toward women rather than fight against an external oppressor.” He argued that the increased targeting of women as witches was one such response.'

Young women are not putting themselves in danger. The people around them are doing the real damage.

Who? you might wonder. The abstinence teacher who tells her students that they'll go to jail if they have premarital sex. The well-founded organization that tells girls on college campuses that they should be looking for a husband, not taking women's studies classes.

The judge who rules against a rape survivor because she didn't meet whatever standard for a victim he had in mind. The legislator who pushes a bill to limit young women's access to abortion because he doesn't think they're smart enough to make their own decisions.

These are the people who are making the world a worse place, and a more dangerous one, at that, for girls and young women. We're just doing our best to live in it.

"There is no dearth of knowledge of the crisis, nor of the availability of solutions. The problem lies in the unwillingness of powerful actors, including governments and corporations, to act.

Capitalist profit-making and state powerplay will simply not allow such solutions to be acted on with the urgency needed."

“The atmosphere of the home is prolonged in school, where students soon discover that (as in the home) in order to achieve some satisfaction they must adapt to the precepts which have been set from above. One of these precepts is not to think.”

— Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed

"Data shows that the Hindu Kush Himalayas are warming faster than the global average, causing snow lines to shift upward and major basins like the Brahmaputra, Ganga, and Indus to lose 30%-70% of snowfall in future projections.

This decline threatens water supply, agriculture, and livelihoods for millions who rely on snowmelt."

"Ableism and heteronormativity are both oppressive ideologies and cultural constructs that hinder the full potential of realizing the scope of human sexuality and modes of being in the world."

“One day you will be called on to break a big law in the name of justice and rationality. Everything will depend on it. You have to be ready. How are you going to prepare for that day when it really matters ? You have to stay ‘in shape’ so that when the big day comes you will be ready.

What you need is ‘anarchist calisthenics.’

Every day or so break some trivial law that makes no sense, even if it’s only jaywalking. Use your own head to judge whether a law is just or reasonable. That way, you’ll keep trim; and when the big day comes, you’ll be ready.”

— James C Scott

"They deem me mad because I will not sell my days for gold; and I deem them mad because they think my days have a price."

"AI-generated videos are taking over social media platforms all over the internet. From TikTok to Instagram, YouTube, and even Facebook, it’s extremely common to see short clips created with tools like Google’s Nano Banana and OpenAI’s Sora showing impossible things like animals expertly jumping off diving boards or people suddenly falling through suspended glass bridges."

Adults will make every waking moment a fresh bleak hell for children and then be like, "social media is making them depressed!"
