I’m not asking you, I’m telling you. Take a moment and listen to this 81 second response from Victor Glover after being asked if he had any thoughts leading up to Easter. I don’t quite think it can be overstated how perfect this crew is for the job.

“I Will Kill My LGBTQ+ Child” — Captain Smart’s Live TV Remarks Raise Serious Ethical and Regulatory Concerns Ghanaian broadcaster Blessed Godsbrain Smart (Captain Smart) has made shocking on-air statements saying he would kill his own child if they came out as LGBTQ+.

The UN General Assembly has adopted a Ghana-led resolution recognising transatlantic slavery as the “gravest crime against humanity,” passing despite opposition from the US, Israel, Argentina, and European countries.

UN calls for reparations to remedy the 'historical wrongs' of trafficking enslaved Africans. -The vote in the 193-member world body was 123-3, with 52 abstentions. The United Kingdom and all 27 members of the European Union were among those that abstained npr.org/2026/03/26/nx-…

@road_fleam Thanks for the recommendation. Just ordered volume 1&2

feels like a relevant time to recommend a great manga that ive read it about a dad whos grieving the loss of his brother and also overcomes his homophobic thoughts it teaches the reader that even if you treat gay people nicely, being against who they are is still harmful

Trigger Warning: This post references a 400 year racial slur that has been used to dehumanize Black people. It also discusses Tourette syndrome and Coprolalia. If a social media post can provide this clarity, a global broadcaster on a 2 hour programming delay certainly could have. CC:BAFTA and BBC. To be Black is to know that Grace will be demanded of you before accountability ever is. And that’s exactly what played out on the BAFTA stage.

Nigeria, a country battling with poverty, bad roads, and unstable electricity, is celebrating a young man they killed for being gay. Hilary Ikechukwu, a promising 23-year-old fresh graduate, was reportedly tied on both hands and thrown from a three-storey building by a group of homophobes. Even during his funeral, these people gathered outside his family's home dancing and shouting homophobic slurs as you can see in this video. Stories like this are why Pride exists — to remind people that every life deserves dignity and safety. Rest in peace, Hilary 🕊️

Umberto Eco, who owned 50,000 books, had this to say about home libraries: “It is foolish to think that you have to read all the books you buy, as it is foolish to criticize those who buy more books than they will ever be able to read. It would be like saying that you should use all the cutlery or glasses or screwdrivers or drill bits you bought before buying new ones. “There are things in life that we need to always have plenty of supplies, even if we will only use a small portion. “If, for example, we consider books as medicine, we understand that it is good to have many at home rather than a few: when you want to feel better, then you go to the ‘medicine closet’ and choose a book. Not a random one, but the right book for that moment. That’s why you should always have a nutrition choice! “Those who buy only one book, read only that one and then get rid of it. They simply apply the consumer mentality to books, that is, they consider them a consumer product, a good. Those who love books know that a book is anything but a commodity.”

As the year reaches its crescendo, we are called to pause, reflect, and restore. This December, we invite you to a special Healing Soulidarity Happy Hour to close the year with intentional community care. 🕯️

It is inconceivable that you can leave SINNERS off of this list and expect to be considered objective film journalists. 40 years in this business has taught me that nothing will ever really change. The film business is more about business than film.

NYC to LA and straight to Soho House for As Ever. Good taste travels and Meghan stays undefeated in the vibes department. LA was the move.

Meaningful psychotherapy is often a process of mourning. To invest fully in life, we must mourn the past that never was and the futures that can never be.

Slavery was Legal. Colonialism was Legal. Jim Crow was Legal. Apartheid was Legal. Legality is a matter of Power, NOT Justice.

The Quest: Honouring Our Journey - mailchi.mp/ddb7f456a325/t… After just over fourteen years of holding space, guiding transformation, and walking alongside many gay, bi, and queer men on their journeys, we’ve made the tender decision to bring The Quest voyage to a close.

Prison time, fines and ostracisation: anti-gay law shocks community in African country seen as relatively safe theguardian.com/global-develop…

We stand in soulidarity with the LGBTQIA+ community across Africa. These laws criminalising your existence are an injustice rooted in historical trauma and miseducation. You are profoundly loved, entirely valid, and never alone. Your global community sees and stands with you.

Whose voice are you still carrying? The critic. The bully. The parent who didn’t believe in you. If you don’t pause and question it, you risk living your whole life inside someone else’s story. That’s where emotional intelligence comes in—helping us notice, reframe, and reclaim the pen. This week’s Dealing with Feeling with Katie Sturino dives deep into shame, resilience, and body acceptance. 🔗youtube.com/watch?v=vljiKz…
