PSA for #Malayali or people from #Keralam - We have two active feeds
1. നീലാകാശം feed which picks up all the posts in Malayalam
bsky.app/profile/did:...
2. Keralam Sky for which I maintain a user list - @me if you want to be added/removed
bsky.app/profile/did:...
Both feeds are fairly active feeds!

Once upon a time there was a story
It ended
Before its beginning
And it began
After its end
Its heroes entered it
After their death
And left it
Before their birth
Its heroes talked
About some earth about some heaven
They said all sorts of things
- Vasko Popa

This video on effective rest was, for me, a bit of a light bulb moment. I had not divided my fatigue or rest into categories of sensory, emotional, cognitive, social. I am hoping this might be a game changer. www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8OX...

Only so, by division, will hope increase,

unless you distribute
the clustered roots, unlikely source-

🧶 This is my most FAVOURITE hat I ever knitted. If I was not a bedbound person, I would never sell this because it is sooo good. I am pretty sure that you won't get it anywhere else. I have only made one and that is available for 45$.

Glass beads are coming out from my weighted blanket. But I am unable to find the hole in the blanket yet. Why are my eyes like this? 😬

A person protests to fate:
"The things you have caused
me most to want
are those that furthest elude me."
Fate nods.
Fate is sympathetic.

Your heart has grown heavy with loss;
And though this loss has wounded others too,
No one knows what has been taken from you
When the silence of absence deepens.
Flickers of guilt kindle regret
For all that was left unsaid or undone.

There’s a big difference between posting on social media and being well enough to work, socialize or do other activities of daily living.
Social media is a lifeline for most of us because we’re housebound, sometimes bedbound, and suffering from conditions no one else understands

The Days at the Morisaki Bookshop is a simple, cosy read, and revisiting it after years still felt warm. Its short length and easy writing make it great for beginners. It can feel a bit too light, with characters who don’t go very deep. Still, it’s a gentle book worth a quiet afternoon. 💙📚 #BookSky

Snow would be the easy
way out that softening
sky like a sigh of relief
at finally being allowed to yield.
No dice. We stack twigs for burning in glistening patches
but the rain won't give.
So we wait, breeding mood, making music of decline.

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.
