this is a very last minute plan 😭 i’m heading to mcleod ganj this sunday and monday and hoping to do the triund trek + gallu waterfall.

looking for someone who’d like to join me! i’m also looking for affordable accommodation for two days, so any budget hotel/hostel recommendations would be really helpful.

i’m a 25 year old transgender woman, so preferably looking for someone respectful and comfortable trekking together.

this would be my 3rd time and i can’t get over Dharamkot yet.

if you’re around mcleod ganj or were already planning to go and want to join, feel free to dm me! :)

Hi everyone, I’m from Northeast India and I’m thinking of moving to Thailand. I’m a trans woman and I’m currently looking for work there.

I’m open to different kinds of jobs and honestly just trying to figure out what my options are as an Indian/foreigner. I speak English and I’m willing to learn Thai. I’d be interested in things like communications, social media, research, hospitality, NGOs, etc.

If anyone here has experience working in Thailand as a foreigner, I’d really appreciate some advice on where to look, what kind of jobs are realistic, and how the visa/work permit situation works.

Also, if you know of any LGBTQ-friendly workplaces or organisations that hire foreigners, please let me know.

I’m trying to move out of India and start somewhere new, so any genuine leads or advice would mean a lot. Thank you :)

if you are in delhi, tag me along i have been here for a while but I don’t people here and i really want to take part in the protest.

I’ve been in a long-distance relationship for a while.
The last time my boyfriend visited me, he used my spare PC and accidentally left his Google account logged in. I didn’t realize it at the time.

A couple of weeks ago, we were having an intimate video call. A few days later, I remembered that his account was still logged in.

I checked his browsing history.

I found out that he had been watching porn during the same time we were being intimate.
I confronted him, and he denied it. Not once, but repeatedly. He kept saying no, even though the browsing history clearly showed otherwise. He is not aware that i have his browsing history.

After that, I started looking through more of his online activity. I know some people will say I shouldn’t have done that, but by then I already felt something was wrong, and I needed to know if I was imagining things.

What I found made everything worse.
It wasn’t just occasional porn. There was a long pattern of porn use, visits to Omegle, and I also had access to his Instagram. His recent searches showed the same girls over and over again. One particular girl was being searched multiple times every day. Seeing that happen consistently made me feel like I wasn’t imagining things anymore.

The biggest issue for me isn’t even the porn.
Early in our relationship, I told him that porn was a boundary for me. I explained that I wasn’t comfortable with it, and he agreed. If he had changed his mind later, I wish he had just been honest with me instead of hiding it and lying.
Finding out that he was watching porn while we were literally being intimate together broke something in me. I couldn’t stop wondering if he didn’t find me attractive anymore or if I just wasn’t enough.

He still tells me he loves me. He says he’d die if I left him. But after discovering all of this and being lied to, his words don’t mean much to me anymore.
For the past two weeks, I’ve felt emotionally detached. I don’t look at him the same way. The trust I had is gone.

I don’t know if I’m overreacting or if anyone else would also feel betrayed by this combination of lying, porn, Omegle, and constantly searching for other girls online.

Has anyone been through something similar? Is trust recoverable after something like this, or is this the point where you accept the relationship is over?

Posting on behalf of an Italian social documentary photographer working on a project in Delhi around street life and marginalized communities.

Looking for a Hindi-speaking local assistant (mornings) who can genuinely connect with people, not just translate. Work involves spending time with homeless communities, informal settlements, waste pickers, and other vulnerable groups.

Need someone empathetic, respectful, open-minded, and comfortable talking to people in difficult situations. NGO/outreach/social work experience is a plus.

If interested, DM with a short intro, availability, experience (if any), and which area of Delhi you’re based in.
