!!! A novel from the point of view of a young Tamil woman growing up in Jaffna in the 1980s! And it's is on the Women's Prize shortlist, among books and authors I deeply admire. Grateful for this recognition.

At night angry porcupines attempt to tunnel under my gate. I fill in the holes by day. Fortunately they do not have access to posters of Rita Hayworth
The landlady has warned me about the porcupines. They must not be allowed to pass, she says
I have yet to encounter them face to snout at the threshold, but I have seen them walking the nighttime streets, spines backlit by the headlights of passing cars
In my first election story, I write for @Himalistan on how under Modi, the Northeast is more united with India, but more divided within himalmag.com/politics/india…
The first story in @Himalistan's new series on how the election in India could affect the rest of Southasia: @Salman_Sh1987 writes that Pakistan needs to reopen trade with India while the Modi government only deploys anti-Pakistan rhetoric as an election gambit.
📢 FRESH! Mired in economic and internal crises, Pakistan is primed for normalisation and trade with India – but Narendra Modi’s Hindu nationalist government, beholden to anti-Muslim politics, is failing to seize the chance @Salman_Sh1987: himalmag.com/politics/india…

It was bad enough finding out that my very first workplace (The Sunday Leader) seems to have deleted its entire website. Personally, if I'd lost access to my work on Roar as well, it would be tricky trying to show anyone everything I did all through my 20s.
It would not have been possible for us to write this without the people we interviewed, who were willing to talk about their experience. Further, this transitioned from a mere idea to an article because of @romangautam, who took this up, and @raisalw, who helped us refine this.
Starting my new journey working at Hunt Alternative with @SwaneeHunt Her leadership and warmth shine through, with beautiful flowers and a welcoming note on my desk. Excited to be part of her fantastic great team and learn from her expertise.Thank you, Ambassador Swanee❤️
And of course, we have, as everyone does, “apolitical” or “single-issue,” nominally queer activists who either intentionally support this or have been co-opted into it. Next to the violence of the state, this drive to assimilation is the greatest danger. x.com/pasanghe/statu…
Statement by #lka LGBTQI+ community members on the Bill by Premnath Dolawatte MP to amend Penal Code sections 365 & 365A decriminalising same-sex sexual activity. While welcome, its presentation amid a campaign of widespread govt repression raises concerns about its motives.
