The one thing I will force upon you with all my heart, is my pure hatred of the Doctor Strange movie. I’m begging you,please boycott Doctor Strange.

What Marvel is doing with this film is inexcusable.I’m Tibetan, and I grew up in America as a child of refugees. My father was a fan of Marvel comics as a child, and one of his...

Fun History Fact: The overwhelming majority of cowboys in the U.S. were Indigenous, Black, and/or Mexican persons. The omnipresent white cowboy is a Hollywood studio concoction meant to uphold the mythology of white masculinity.
