I find it very interesting how women who choose to wear hijab as a sign of their religious dedication, don’t understand that that needs to be a choice. Women in Iran and Afghanistan are being oppressed in the name of Islam. One would think that if Islam is so important to Muslims, they would feel the need to protect its image and not want it to be a form of oppression. Taking whats happed in Iran (as a form of protest or not) and making it about yourself is so unbelievably childish that it leaves me shocked quite honestly. Women have been getting killed and beat by the police in Iran and this violence has been happening for decades. I don’t understand how this oppression is different to others in other countries. Activism cannot be selective otherwise you’re not an activist you’re just mad about things that only pertain to you and your world views.

What I learned today is that you can be Penn Badgley and still be cast as the ugly brother

And so maybe when one day when my decaying body is convulsing on the floor of a public bathroom I’ll think about it more and cry out loud about it.

The fact that they cast Naveen William Sidney Andrews, a British Indian man, to play Saeed meant that his Arabic was shit (obv why wouldn’t be, no one’s blaming him) and they had to do all the Iraq flashbacks in English. Instead we get all the Korean flashbacks in Korean which makes sense BECAUSE THEY HAPPENED IN FUCKING KOREA.

Idk how to tell you this but it’s not about indigeneity. Most people all around the fucking world aren’t indigenous to where they live. It’s about being allowed to live, it’s about being thrown out of your country and having nowhere else to go, it’s about civilians dying and politicians benefiting.
