#Repost @intomore with @get_repost ・・・ What if trans men got cast in the few roles that are made for them? Hollywood isn’t doing it, so we gave trans men the opportunity to audition for Scarlett Johansson roles. Full video link in bio. * (In @intomore’s bio)
This breaks my heart. I decided to write my thesis in 2012 about the (re)presentations of gay, waria and lesbi in Indonesian cinema, because I felt this that particular subject could get a lot more attention than it had gotten (in academia and otherwise). In my thesis I also highlighted the importance of safe spaces, such as queer film festivals. (If you’re interested: You can read blogs based on my thesis on my website, link in bio) I really wish things will change in Indonesia. #lgbtq #indonesia #loveislove #humanrights @yayasangayanusantara #Repost @humanrightswatch with @get_repost ・・・ Indonesian authorities are fueling an HIV epidemic through complicity in discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people. The government’s failure to halt arbitrary and unlawful raids by police and militant Islamists on private #LGBT gatherings has effectively derailed public health outreach efforts to vulnerable populations.
I came into contact with the work of @adamjk a while ago and have been following his instagram with my private account ever since. His work is more than ‘just’ inspirational quotes, it is empowering and really helps you focus to see the good in yourself (and in others). So I really wanted to have his book! Fortunately it was available at @bol_com and it is the perfect read on this very hot day! @adamjk i want to thank you (all the way from The Netherlands) for being you and I love how you create a sense of going through creative and life struggles together! ‘Things are what you make of them’ is so true! Ps. and all the love for you and Mitchell! #thingsarewhatyoumakeofthem #adamjk #brilliant #book #creative #queerartist
A delicious vegan buddha bowl with corn @ @missnicebanana! Also did a ton of work! Not yet started a new blog, but I can tell you that it will be about language and I will collaborate with @jamieisjames! #vegan #gouda #buddhabowl #mnb #language #blog #workfromanywhere
#Repost @gettyimages with @get_repost ・・・ While media coverage of the current global migration crisis frequently focuses on women with children, refugee and migrant fathers are often overlooked, if not portrayed as criminals or potential threats to their new country. Visit the link in our bio to see the tender images that tell a different story. Pictured here, a #father adjusts his daughter's headscarf as migrants and refugees attempt to try to cross into Greece from Turkey in 2015 _ 📷: Bulent Kilic/AFP/Getty Images | #FathersDay #Dad
#queer #Repost @nowthisnews with @get_repost ・・・ The Pride Shield is an installation of 193 flags that can stop bullets, designed to raise international awareness of LGBTQ+ issues. #NowThisPride
