An American-Pakistani co-production, the film tells the story of a Pakistani transgender woman who sets out to take care of an abandoned baby.
The lead actress, Kami Sid, said the film is about the real life struggles of a transgender person and what they have to go through.
“Transgender people should also be given opportunities to work in the film and drama industry,” the actor said. “They should be given work on their merit.”
Shout out to people like me who have parents who are loving but are black holes of emotional labor… It took me a long time to realize that it’s okay to have mixed feelings about your parents, about your relationship with them.
Sometimes parents can love you but be somewhat toxic to you and your growth, and that’s a very hard realization to come to if you, like me, grew up extremely close to them.
Sometimes parents can love you genuinely but lack emotional maturity, forcing you to perform disproportionate amounts of emotional labor. Some parents manifest symptoms of their mental illness in ways that are toxic to your mental illness.
Some parents, like mine, try so hard to be good parents but fall back on habits of emotional manipulation because they haven’t processed their own traumas and are modeling behavior they grew up with. That doesn’t make their behavior acceptable, and it’s okay to feel exhausted and hurt when they betray you. You don’t have to forgive every mistake.
I want you to know that it’s okay to protect yourself, to need some space apart from them. The love you have for your parents is still valid, and you are making the right decision.
Placing a safe emotional distance between myself and my parents has been one of the most difficult, heartbreaking processes I’ve ever gone through… it hurts to try to curb the strength of your own natural empathy around people you love. It feels disingenuous to your heart’s natural state.
But I promise you, you are not hard-hearted or ungrateful, and you are not abandoning them. You are making a decision about your own emotional, mental, and spiritual health.
I know what it’s like in that confusing grey area of love mixed with guilt and anxiety, of exhaustion and quasi-manipulation and unreciprocated emotional labor, and I promise you, you are not alone.
Your mixed feelings about your parents are valid.
Thank you thank you thank you bless this post ohmygod thank you
can we give it up for Suzanne Collins for fucking off into oblivion with her money after hunger games fucking destroyed the YA market for like 6 years. everything YA was dystopian “EVERYONES IN A DIFFERENT QUADRANT” shit from 2010 to 2016 and we didnt hear a peep from her. true fucking power.
when someone is a christian they are not constantly asked their position on the holocaust the transatlantic slave trade the extermination of native americans or any of the thousands of atrocities committed by christians so why do muslims get asked about terrorism and jewish people about israel and are grouped in with specific bad people while christians are not required to explain themselves??
goyim and non muslims can and should reblog
[christians and all sectors of christianity that means you]
Some of you may be thinking Yum! right now, but these were all names of patients in the hospital in the last month or two. First to arrive was actually the noodle. Noodle is a bunny, who had an unfortunate run-in with Jellybean, a puppy, who thought Noodle’s eyes were tasty even if they aren’t pasta. Here’s Noodle’s arrival photo:
So Noodle needed some facial reconstruction before his new eyes went in, he got new eyes, and he was ready to fly home in a couple weeks:
His person wrote:
Oh my gosh Beth! I am sitting here crying as I look at his little face! He is perfect!!! S. is going to be so very happy! Thank you!!!!
Next up was the first Brownie, a dog. Actually both Brownies are dogs. The first one arrived solo for a spa and some small touchups, and a new collar. He’s about 20 years old. Here’s his arrival photo:
He started with a spa:
Then got a heart covered in doggy paws:
Chubbiness was approved and he was sized for a collar:
And here he is all spiffy and ready to fly home:
His person wrote:
Brownie is home, safe and sound! He looks absolutely amazing - you took at least 10 years off of him. He is so much fluffier and cleaner than I could have imagined. Thank you for your kindness and great work. I’ll be in touch in another 20 years when he needs a spa day again!
Finally, another Brownie came with a bunny named S’mores. Both had pet injuries. Here’s Brownie on arrival (blind and scentless):
And here’s S’mores, who had slightly more serious injuries:
This duo were also here a couple weeks. Here they are all better and ready to fly home:
Their family wrote:
Just wanted to say thank you for taking such good care of Brownie and S'mores. You had them back to us so fast! We really appreciate it. They look wonderful!
Now it’s time to bake some Brownies, roast some s’mores, and boil some noodles… non-furry ones of course! :-)
Her treatment has failed and she can’t afford it. I give her every cent I can spare, but I’m broke too. Her prescription is only 250$ for a 3month supply, and I’ve already given her 150$. Will you please spare a few bucks to help her afford her pain meds?

If you cant give anything, please spread this around. I am begging you. Please help the girl I love afford the medication she needs in order to function. That’s her own PayPal, not mine, by the way. Please.
