“But [Tumblr’s] value, of course, is more than just what it isn’t, and what it points away from. Despite all the drama and discourse lurking in its corners, it’s easy to make your own Tumblr life as simple and as happy as you want it to be. There are no algorithmic threats lurking around every corner, no onslaught of promoted posts from politicians or influencers. More than anything else, Tumblr in 2020 is a self-sustaining ecosystem. It’s a semi-sealed and increasingly fertile terrarium, a nigh-impossible perpetual-motion machine of a platform going productively psychotic in its isolation.”

“Things arise and she lets them come;
things disappear and she lets them go.
She has but doesn’t possess,
acts but doesn’t expect.
When her work is done, she forgets it.
That is why it lasts forever.”

On the subject of Manipur, there is a reference to the state as far back as the Mahabharata. Chitrangada is a princess of Manipur who marries Arjuna. In most accounts she is a warrior princess, probably from a matrilineal society, who does not accompany Arjuna back to Indraprastha after his years of exile.
Representations of Chitrangada in art: 1. By Pobsant Roockarangsarith (X); 2) Ramendranath Chakravorty’s 1941 woodcut of Chitrangada and Arjuna and 3) Avik Chakraborty’s Royal Ladies of Mahabharata: Chitrangada.
