The genocide is in its final stage. Any remaining people in Gaza are either starving to death or being intensely bombed. An entire indigenous population exterminated right before our eyes and we did nothing. Nothing.

We analysed detailed Time Use Survey data to see how marriage impacts the daily lives of Indians. As it turns out, women's lives change dramatically, with unpaid domestic & caregiving work taking up a significant share of their time. Men's lives remain pretty much the same.🧵
