Please don't cross the picket line during the planned pan-India gig workers strike on New Year's Eve. Delivery workers face horrible working conditions, the demands they are making are incredibly reasonable, and they deserve everyone's solidarity. www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/g...

What are gig workers demanding?
Income security for gig and platform workers, aligned with statutory minimum wages.
A fair and transparent pay structure, including a minimum rate of not less than ₹20 per km for ride-hailing drivers.
An eight-hour working day, with provision for overtime pay beyond fixed hours.
Comprehensive social security benefits, including functional insurance to support workers during accidents, illness or emergencies.
Withdrawal of “10-minute delivery” service models, which workers say encourage unsafe driving and endanger lives, as reported by The Hindu, citing an IFAT official.
Safer working conditions, including restrictions on late-night deliveries during high-risk periods such as winter fog.

it’s Sunday on bluesky so I am urging everyone to take care of themselves. Take a walk, have a second cup of coffee or tea, read a book, spend some time looking at small poems

Came to the kinder place to post about this kind imitative. With just ₹500 you can provide a school kit to a student. I’ve been associated with this initiative for 10 years and can personally vouch for it. If you want to donate, please contact the folks on the poster. Or DM me.

Was it because there were no more graves in Gaza that you brought us to the beach to die? Was it because rubbling us in our houses, like our cousins, like our cultures, like our gods, would be a bore? ~ No Moses in Siege by Muhammad Al Kurd Read by @yellowchiffon.bsky.social #poetryinparks #poem

Kind people. We are trying to raise funds for bicycles so rural children can reach school easily. Currently they have to walk 6-7kms to get to school. We also raised this last year and I had some bicycles shipped myself. This is a legit drive. Please consider donating or sharing this forward.

Done stitching the piece. Now figuring out the backing and the stitch I want to use to secure it before I put it up in the store. 📣 Tiny art for sale. 📣 🧶 #BSNM 🎨

A small cross stitch with a green border pattern and a version of Grate Wave of Kanagawa designed and stitched inside the green frame. There's a blue line drawn to help cut it down to size.

The piece is about 60x60 stitches.

There's a part of scissor visible above the aida cloth.

I’ve been spending time reading and watching one particular show in a languid manner. Then, I come to the internet and it hits me in the face how messed up the world is as opposed to the reading and show worlds that I inhabit. It shudders me a little.

That’s great! Congratulations 🙌

Long train rides are freeing, and I mean it. They allow you to be suspended in time. As someone who has used long distance trains a lot, I highly recommend it.

What’s even better than reading #PoetryInParks? Putting books in the hands of all who want them, particularly those from historically disadvantaged communities. That’s what @freelibsnet.bsky.social and their member libraries do. Follow, and reshare their post. Many goodies are coming your way.

Received a glass sipper on Christmas 2024 and I have put it to the best use I can. I don’t use a throw away cup anymore.

Glass sipper with a wooden lid and a glass straw. Filled with apple beetroot carrot juice.

Hardly new info, but BSky should know: Warsaw's water quality is monitored by eight clams with magnets attached to their shells. If contamination in the water causes the clams to close, the magnets trigger an alarm and shut off the city's water supply. Thank you, little guardian molluscs. 🧪🌏🚰

A clam with a spring attached to the shell. The spring has a magnet placed above a sensor.
