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
