The Episode:
Conventionally Attractive: What else does the convention govern beside attraction?
Conventionally attractive is just a euphemism for white eurocentric beauty ideals that white people themselves both control and regularly fail (and when they fail it, they shift the goalpost ever in their favor)
-GOP-1s/GLP-1s: A global "rightward" conservative drift coinciding with a boon in the weight loss drug industry, a billion dollar social media attention economy focused mostly on how people look and a concurrent decline in advocacy for Congo, Sudan, Haiti and the ongoing genocidal violence against Black people in this country may be revealing an uglier truth about white supremacy than once thought before.
Who has capital and who doesn’t all wrapped up in who is beautiful or not, another such binary created by the State

On Desirability: Karl Marx, Beyonce, and You feat Deme & Isaiah
Join us for a very special Black August episode with our Black Loves, the only two light skin friends we have left: the illustrious Deme Brown (she/her), Brooklyn community advocate, screenwriter and director (@Demegawd_) and Dr. Isaiah Blake (he/him), Phd, East New York BK all-day, geography student at UC Berkeley and writer (IG: @isaiah.iman.blake)
Questions to consider:
If desire is a matter of life and death, if how you look determines if you live or die and how you live and die, what are we going to do?
Since desire is currency the more you have the want the more valuable you are, what does that mean for our relationships, especially Black trans, non binary, agendr tgnc and queer people? How are people able to separate how they treat the people they are in relationship with and how they think about, view and in turn, treat others?
What does social media necessitate in terms of how we perform accountability and connection to one another?
-Interracial Dating and Partus Sequitur Ventrem
-Black Revolutionary Love
-Epstein Files and Noam Chomsky
-Sites of Return
