Downton Abbey rewatch

We're finishing up  the second rewatch of Downton  Abbey in 3 years.  I really would have loved it if they had more people of color in the show.  Like I found out that there's a dish the family has served to them kedgeree which was a dish that was originally from India and called khichari.  like why is it okay to include an Indian-British dish but not actually show Indian people in the whole of the show?  Like they even had an opportunity to  bring in an Indian cook or Indian servants!   Maybe even an Indian lawyer friend of Matthew's! Like I would have appreciated it if the jazz singer wasn't the only person of color in the entire show.

Anyways I'm thinking of fleshing out this post and turning it into a video.

Daily Book – Bisexual Men Exist

Being a bisexual man isn’t easy – something Vaneet Mehta knows all too well.

Being a bisexual man isn’t easy – something Vaneet Mehta knows all too well. After spending more than a decade figuring out his identity, Vaneet’s coming out was met with questioning, ridicule and erasure. This experience inspired Vaneet to create the viral #BisexualMenExist campaign, combatting the hate and scepticism m-spec (multi-gender attracted spectrum) men encounter, and helping others who felt similarly alone and trapped.

This powerful book is an extension of that fight. Navigating a range of topics, including coming out, dating, relationships and health, Vaneet shares his own lived experience as well as personal stories from others in the community to help validate and uplift other bisexual men. Discussing the treatment of m-spec men in LGBTQ+ places, breaking down stereotypes and highlighting the importance of representation and education, this empowering book is a rallying call for m-spec men everywhere.

Daily Book – Hani and Ishu’s Guide to Fake Dating

Everyone likes Humaira “Hani” Khan—she’s easy going and one of the most popular girls at school. But when she comes out to her friends as bi

Everyone likes Humaira “Hani” Khan—she’s easy going and one of the most popular girls at school. But when she comes out to her friends as bisexual, they invalidate her identity, saying she can’t be bi if she’s only dated guys. Panicked, Hani blurts out that she’s in a relationship…with a girl her friends absolutely hate—Ishita “Ishu” Dey. Ishu is the complete opposite of Hani. She’s an academic overachiever who hopes that becoming head girl will set her on the right track for college. But Ishita agrees to help Hani, if Hani will help her become more popular so that she stands a chance of being elected head girl.

Despite their mutually beneficial pact, they start developing real feelings for each other. But relationships are complicated, and some people will do anything to stop two Bengali girls from achieving happily ever after.
