I dream of living in a small one bedroom apartment with my husband, with a huge white couch that isn't really practical, with baby blue and yellow accents everywhere,and a balcony I rarely use becuse it hangs over the train line, which is fine becuse I use it to grab groceries from the farmers market and we cook our favourite food together and invite friends over for themed movie and game nights
Remember.
Happy International Women's day y'all

i hatee it how i cannot be at university for the rest of my life learning about my niche interests that are so special to me. Instead i have to settle for less and cater to a job that doesn't serve any meaning to me
“we don’t talk. i still dream about you.”
the grief of loving too much is heavy but it is better than the regret of not trying at all
unless you literally want to crack open your rib cage and have me crawl inside do NOT flirt with me.
I really don't understand how this is "hinduphobia", I have not demeaned anyone. I've grown up in a "brahmin" Hindu household. In addition, never did I once compare and came to the conclusion that one is worse than the other.
Yes, muslim rulers have destroyed temples, and this is a well-documented aspect of medieval Indian history though temple destruction was not unique to any one religion or dynasty; it was often a political tool used by rulers across faiths to assert dominance, punish rivals, or consolidate power.
Hindu rulers were no strangers to the art of destruction when it served their purposes. The Cholas, those celebrated patrons of grandeur, happily razed Chalukyan temples and Buddhist viharas in Sri Lanka when dominance was on the menu. King Harsha of Kashmir, ever the pragmatist, treated temples as personal banks, stripping them bare to fund his ambitions—because why let piety stand in the way of power? The Marathas, often painted as paragons of Hindu virtue, didn’t hesitate to target rival temples in Karnataka, proving that even the devout have a flair for hypocrisy. And the Vijayanagara Empire, while busy building architectural marvels, found time to demolish mosques during their wars with the Bahmani Sultanate.
Not another post whining about why “mUgHaLs WeRe nOt cOlOnizErs” like girl, they were literally foreign invaders who forced you to speak their language, broke your temples, tried eradicating your culture and collected zizya taxes motivated by religious bigotry in hopes of forcing your people to convert! At least have some shame and consideration for your ancestors.
