Jodie Comer accepting her award for Best Female Actor for playing Villanelle on Killing Eve at the RTS awards:

I remember when I first got the email about Killing Eve and the first words I read was ‘Russian assassin’ and I thought “Greattt, that’s gonna be me in a leather crop top and six inch heels for the next five months.”

There are so many unintended consequences to well-intentioned actions. It feels like a game you can’t win.

Bit weird how Drake just got away with being weirdly friendly with Millie Bobby Brown… but hey. Guess we’ll never learn to hold celebrities accountable for anything

Wages still haven’t kept up with the increases.

This is a map of Asia. North Americans, you may notice this map is not solely comprised of Japan, Korea, China and Thailand. People in the UK, you may notice India is not  a continent. That is, if those of you who generalize entire continents can even pinpoint India on a map. Indians are Asian, gasp! And not all brown skinned people are Indian, also, gasp! There are an alarming amount of people, of all ages, from all backgrounds, who seem to be unable to process this.

I’m ethnically Asian. Since Asia is an extremely large continent, I could be from any number of countries. I am neither from India, China, Korea, Japan or Pakistan, yet not so surprisingly, I am still Asian. 

Yes, there are commonalities across regions, through the conflation of cultures, colonialism, globalization, transnationalism and movement of diasporas. Sometimes these are all the same thing. Rickshaws, rice and curry can be found across the continent. But let’s not overgeneralize. You can also find Buddhists, Catholics, Muslims and Hindus across Asia. Cantonese Speaking Chinese Muslims! English Speaking Indian Jews! 

No, we are not all the same. Orientalism? (Please look up Edward Said for basic concepts) No thank you. 

Geography, people. It’s important.
