“…furthermore there is no separation between people. Everything is interconnected and the biggest secret of all to me, is the extent to which individuality is an illusion…”
That is an integral philosophy of this site but this time quantam mechanics are the ones confirming it through “pure, hard science.”

Does it ever f***ing stop?

Posted by: Prerna In: Site Updates

(Anyone recognize the familiar subject line–LOL?)
I realized I haven’t blogged in a while and am missed by some. I don’t know where to begin–each time I turn around something idiotic is happening. I am tired of documenting stories about government authorities going after our fellow students and migrant workers. Men, women and children, who are [...]

Youtube has a strict policy of banning boobs or nipple show (unless we are talking educational material like self-examination - Actually on that note I am even going to defend the educational value of love scenes but not here).

Oh, “exotic nurses?” Please. [...]

This is the PITS. It is a gross violation of human rights, a misguided and miscalculated effort at WHO-KNOWS-WHAT?!

In the study, researchers examined information on more than 13,000 New Yorkers from all five of the city’s boroughs, who voluntarily had their height and weight measured.

For Hispanics, whether the neighborhood is largely [...]

About

This site is belongs to a post-graduate student now headed for law school. It is part of a growing network of pro-migrant voices online that seek to counter the hatred and ignorance spewed by hate groups and promote meaningful immigration reform. Beyond that, you will also find discussions about political economy, post-colonialism, neo-liberalism, subaltern studies, queer theory (and the l word) topped by an occasional rant about the order of things and educational resources now and then. Do leave comments whenever you can.

Prerna: Who is excited about the DNC? *yawn*

admin: hey NR , thanks for stopping by :) I'll put up better poems someday lol

Noresistance: A sweet message as you requested.. getting lost on your site and in your poetry!

admin: I am really sorry to disappoint and make everyone wait ... It is at the back of my mind even as I study (usually at the gym) but since the story is so emotionally draining, I cannot focus on it while truly trying to prepare for my exams :(

Hil: I just gave up and tried some honesty. I tried to be supportive (and keep my mouth shut) cause i'm a student too, so i know what its like.. I didnt want to be pushy, i mean: the girl needs to study!! but, patience is not one of my virtues. guess im just gonna learn the art of waiting -.-
