...we are not allowed to hate back. Does whiteness make room for love? Does it have the capacity to do so?

I think Aileen Wuornos may have been onto something...

This episode is dedicated to the legacies of Jamil Al-Amin and Alice Wong. Rest in Power

**Editors Note before some of yall start: yes, I know that Valerie is a cover by a white British group before Amy did it and they was appropriating too so my point still stands

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
