Went to Misinfocon yesterday. Haven't been to an event like this in Bangalore for so long! Learnt so much about what people are building to mitigate and educate around cyber scams, deep fakes and general lack of trust.

Made soup
I've had to look up what a Paczki is and now I want one.
Looking through @malabartearoom.bsky.social's cookbooks to find a soup recipe for iftar today. Our friend is sending sandwiches. Mmm

studio.camp is at the MoMa! So incredible to see Shaina, Ashok, @batpad.bsky.social and the rest of CAMP crew's work last week. I've learned so much from Sanjay about videos over the years -- for telling powerful stories of people and places. www.moma.org/calendar/exh...
A few pics from Day 1 of Team Week.
There are a lot of things happening that are out of my control. One thing I can do is give my time towards something where I can meaningfully contribute. That is what motivated me to run for the @osmus.bsky.social Board.
