PSA for #Malayali or people from #Keralam - We have two active feeds
1. നീലാകാശം feed which picks up all the posts in Malayalam

2. Keralam Sky for which I maintain a user list - @me if you want to be added/removed

Both feeds are fairly active feeds!

Somebody is trying hard to hack my Instagram for the last couple of days. I wish I could sell that handle for some real money instead of them trying to steal it.

I grew up in an all girls household with deep rooted patriarchy. I hate all the men in my family including my father for all the things they had said and done . Now, my life is full of little boys and all the sweet things they say and do. Life comes to a full circle and all!!

My most faithful body, you are not in the best of shape, far from the glitter of the river in which you once swam.
But I want good tears when I stand on the street
and, from the sky, drifts down the finest mist on my face. Not everything is given and it should not permit sadness.

Today was a bit hotter and I had the added stress of water purifier installation. My heart showed me what it was capable of after a month of seemingly fine - heart rate dived straight to the 20s! #pwme

We have to be kind to dogs, take care of them. We made them, for us. They wouldn't be here, like they are, if it weren't for us. We should be kind to all animals, of course, but we really owe it to dogs. They're our responsibility.

I give you an emptiness,
I give you a plenitude,
unwrap them carefully.
-one's as fragile as the other-
and when you thank me
I'll pretend not to notice the doubt in your voice
when you say they're just what you wanted.
Put them on the table by your bed.

I love many people
who don't love me.
I don't actually know
if that is true.
This is love.
It is a mass of ice
melting. I can't hold
it and I have nowhere
to put it down.

Y'know what, jumping on this train. If we're mutuals, feel free to DM or otherwise let me know of your address and I'll send a little postcard your way!
Back on Twitter I did postcards for mutuals during the holidays to lighten the mood of people who had difficulties or flashbacks because of their families. Always painted the postcards myself. And I had a lot of fun doing that.
Should we do that this year maybe? I’m thinking about that.

I really don't think "change needle to change sizes" is best practice for grading. You're asking the knitter to potentially compromise the quality of the fabric by knitting too loose and/or create issues with it by working it too tight. It is 100% possible to grade colourwork mitts & socks. 🧶

I watch with sunglasses so I haven't noticed that. 😁 But songs and all I didn't expect to be otherwise. Just was curious about the cliches. Heroine just climbing up coconut tree 😂 clearly they have no idea about the skill required to do that.

I also spent some time to watch it out of curiosity. The fact I cannot tolerate was that they found people who authenticallg speak Malayalam except for the lead. 😁

Today is my birthday, and this year I published a book with @carrionbloombooks.bsky.social.
I find it increasingly difficult to talk about my work in online spaces, but I’m giving myself permission today.
My partner did the illustrations and they’re my favorite part tbh.

Haruki Murakami Manga Stories is an interesting collection that turns Murakami’s surreal short fiction into manga. The art is okay, though stories feel a bit compressed. Still, it’s a fresh, accessible way to experience his work and worth checking out if you enjoy #manga adaptations. 💙📚 #BookSky
