As someone who was subjected to conversion therapy, it doesn’t work. It won’t work. It’s torture. I was hooked up to an IV and made to vomit watching gay porn for two hours per week. I was prayed over. Bibles and the Book of Mormon were shoved in my face.

In Pakistan, women bear the blame for infertility while men escape scrutiny, protected by culture, ego, and a healthcare system afraid to challenge patriarchy.

We all knew what the events in Andor represented and it’s satisfying to hear Gilroy’s unfiltered confirmation of that, as well as acknowledging the pro-Palestine words of Diego Luna & activism of Denise Gough.
ANDOR creator Tony Gilroy compares Syril’s support for the Empire to people’s support for Donald Trump.

“I mean throw a stone in Washington DC or Mar-a-Lago right now…. Why sign onto this death ship? It’s because you’re afraid of something.”

Denise Gough, who played Dedra on ANDOR, is a fuckin' real one

I cold-DM'd her on Instagram to see if she'd be game to narrate a Palestine-related audio project I'm coordinating, and she wrote back within minutes to say she'd love to see the text

She then turned it down — but in a REALLY nice way!

Question. Why must migrants adapt to us. Why don't we at least meet them half way?

Before anyone yells why can't a migrant speak English, how good is your Farsi, Urdu or Bangla?

Speaking schoolchild french isn't speaking another language.
