TW: protests, injustice 
These pictures depict the current #FarmerProtest that is happening in Punjab (northern state of India) right now. The farmers of Punjab are protesting new agricultural bills that affect their livelihood and their ability to survive in their industry. Part of their protest is a march to Delhi, which is happening now, but they’ve been met with violence and attacks. I am still educating myself, chatting with organizations and doing the work to understand the complexities of these bills, but it is clear from the violence at these protests that there is great injustice going on. Unfortunately this is an injustice we see too often. And to make matters worse, injustices are often paired with a lack of coverage or information. This is not okay and I stand with the farmers. I know there is a lot happening in the world, especially this year. Everyday I get thousands of tweets, comments and messages asking to speak about a specific cause. I cannot solve every problem and I think it’s irresponsible  to pretend like I can. Performative activism is not what we should be seeking. I see all your msgs and I try my best to learn. Forgive me if my learnings are not always publicized. I will very honestly say, I do not know the solution here but I’m going to try my best. Thus far, I’ve been learning a lot from sikhexpo and we’ve been chatting in the DMs. They’ve been very helpful. I’ve also donated to a GoFundMe dedicated to helping the farmers. Link in bio if you’re able to help. If you’re unable to, thank you for reading this post anyways. I know there’s a lot of pain in the world right now, but I believe we should meet it with unity. Love ❤️ (ps artwork by inkquisitive and rupikaur_)
