My uncle in rural Punjab still calls the entire family together over landline conference call for anything even mildly significant, refusing every suggestion of a group chat despite owning a smartphone he clearly knows how to use for other things. "WhatsApp, chacha," my cousin pleaded, during yet another forty-minute call to announce a job promotion that could've been a single text. "Everyone's already online right now." "A message you can ignore," he said. "A voice you cannot skip past." I found this stubborn and mildly ridiculous until the week my grandfather's health took a sudden turn, and my uncle called every single relative himself, one by one, voice by voice, rather than let a single person find out through a screen. "Why not just send one message to everyone at once," I asked him afterward, genuinely curious now instead of annoyed. "Bad news travels faster on paper," he said. "I wanted people to hear my voice shake a little, if it was going to shake. Text doesn't shake. I needed them to know I meant it, not just typed it." My grandfather recovered, eventually, slowly. My uncle made the calls again to share that too, same method, same voice, this time steady and relieved instead of trembling. The family still has a group chat. It sits mostly unused for anything that matters. The big things still travel by phone call, uncle to cousin to aunt, voice to voice, exactly the way he insists they should.

My first pull on #WutheringWaves# event banner--UMMM there goes all my luck for the whole year!!!! sorry for the bland reaction, I was trying not to scream bc my voice is still healing 🥲 #HanyaLIVE#

Censoring my voice, removing my old tweets, removing followers... Elon Musk did everything in his power in the last 3 years to stop the people of the world from learning the truth about Israel and he failed. Elon redefined antisemitism to include criticism of Israel. Elon censored every pro-Palestinian accounts. Elon blocked accounts for posting anti-Israel content. Elon banned his own Ai chatbot “Grok” when it tells the truth to people about the genocide in Gaza. Elon failed. You failed @elonmusk It’s genocide. Stop censoring. Free speech.
