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

Pride of Mass Destruction: Do You Want The Aesthetic of Freedom or to Actually Be Free?
This episode is dedicated to the life and memory of Adriana Smith
Donate to the Celebration of Black Transwomen Cookout in NYC: https://www.gofundme.com/f/gia-love-x-angelito-black-trans-love-cookout-fundraiser
The episode (note, there is a 6 second breather in the beginning, don't worry, just breathe, we still here lol)
"Happy" Pride** with a major asterisks
No pride with genocide
Everything you are being told about Iran in the mainstream media is a lie derived from the same binaries that harm trans/tgnc and queer communities particularly us Blacks and whatever imminent fear you have of "WWIII" done already happened and/or is already happening in someone else's world and if you Black, already happened to people who look like you just 40 years ago.
Queer as in hella glitter and chocolate babies and watermelon woman and i am your venus documentary and diana ross and patrik ian polk and brandy full moon and june jordan nem and stud step baby daddies and allofthat and especially queer as in an unequivocal ten toes stance with the people of Iran and all oppressed peoples across the globe opposed to western hegemony and white supremacist colonial violence.
-Jojo Siwa, white queerness/white queer community only caring about the aesthetic
-love island bombshells and actual bombshells
-Skrmetti Ruling
IRAN (Israel is actually the only country in the Middle East that has nuclear weapons but I aint seeing too many tiktoks or NYT articles bout them)
-Van Jones saying we should support trump??
--Whoopi Goldberg and cross-cultural solidarity (she ain't lying)
-90% of Israelis support bombing of Iran?
-MAJORITY civilians killed in Iran but media is not reporting, many more have fled Tehran (capital of Iran)
-Iran, gender binary, transphobia and anti-blackness link
