   "A Woman's Only Skill Is Endurance": Breaking Down A Thousand Splendid Suns

   This week, I'm unpacking Khaled Hosseini's devastating 2007 novel A Thousand Splendid Suns, following Mariam and Laila, two women from very different worlds who are forced into the same household and the same marriage as Afghanistan's history collapses around them. This is a full spoiler episode. I cover the complete plot, including the heartbreaking ending. Content note: This episode discusses domestic violence, suicide, war, and death.

   The Voice of Hind Rajab: Why Silence Isn't Neutral

   Content note: this episode discusses the war in Gaza and the death of a child. Room For Us has always been a space for queer voices. Today, I'm widening the lens. In this episode, I talk about The Voice of Hind Rajab, the Oscar-nominated film by Kaouther Ben Hania built around the real recorded phone calls of a five-year-old girl trapped in a car in Gaza City in January 2024. I explain why the film hit me the way it did, why I think everyone should watch it, and why staying "out of politics" isn't neutral when you have a platform, or even when you don't. I also talk about privilege, about how none of us choose the situation we're born into, and about what it means for a queer podcast to speak up on human rights beyond our own community. Along the way, I look at the recent controversy over Ed Sheeran's tour and Macklemore's removal, and what it says about who gets to speak. Watch the film. Listen to her voice. And remember Hind Rajab. Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands (https://redcircle.com/brands) Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy (https://redcircle.com/privacy)
