Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble. - John Lewis

I loved High on the Hog on Netflix. Thought it'd be a show about food (soul food) but it used food to trace forgotten histories of African Americans from the slave trade in Benin to mac n cheese to the first caterers. Beautiful, sensitive, and informative. 4 part and must watch

I asked @GKangInd, @GorwayGlobal about India's decision to stick to a 12-16 wk gap for Covishield, despite PHE's study that a single dose is only 33% effective against B1617. An NTAGI member argued that PHE study was too small. Does the argmnt. hold water? youtu.be/syy9LNDrDXM

As we celebrate the anniversary of the @Snowden revelations- and see alarming new proposals being considered or pushed through by several govts - an imp statement from the @theGNI on govts seeking "direct access" to user data. Alarming harms to our human rights, digital security.
Global Network Initiative (@theGNI) profile pictureGlobal Network Initiative@theGNI3 Jun 2021
As more governments adopt “Direct Access” arrangements for accessing user data without knowledge or involvement of service providers, GNI calls on governments to use only targeted measures proportionate to their justifiable need to access user data: globalnetworkinitiative.org/…

*Collective whoosh of relief* sweeps across India, er, Twitter India.

There is no change in Covishield dosage. Two doses will continue. This schedule will continue for Covaxin also: VK Paul clarifies.
1/n: On this latest EPFO notification making #Aadhaar mandatory, @PRSLegislative has a section titled "Mandatory linking with Aadhaar may violate Supreme Court judgement" here: prsindia.org/billtrack/the-c… This time though it seems much harder to dodge.

3/n: I was unable to find out what happened to Madras HC case challenging the mandatory Aadhaar linking with UAN. So this looks like it'll be difficult to evade unless the employer is willing to do a non-electronic transfer or if the employee forgoes the employer contribution

4/n: There's also the option of going to court but this (& I'm not a lawyer, so this is layperson understanding) seems like an uphill battle compared to last time where there was no legislative backing for the linkage & here there seems to be a "workaround". Sigh. Thoughts?
