Happening tomorrow...

For two years, CHEVS researched and documented what our communities have long experienced: anti-LGBTQI+ disinformation is not random nor does it spread on its own.

Our research shows how digital platforms, weak regulatory systems, and transnational anti-rights networks interact to shape the information environments our communities are forced to navigate.

But this is not only a story of harm. Across the continent, queer and feminist movements are already challenging these narratives, disrupting systems of violence, and building alternative digital spaces rooted in collective power and safety.

At tomorrow’s panel, we hear from the activists working across this moment and moving this work forward.

Ça se passe demain…

Pendant deux ans, CHEVS a mené des recherches et documenté ce que nos communautés vivent depuis longtemps : la désinformation anti-LGBTQI+ n’est ni aléatoire ni spontanée.

Nos recherches montrent comment les plateformes numériques, les systèmes de régulation défaillants et les réseaux transnationaux d’atteinte aux droits interagissent pour façonner l’environnement informationnel dans lequel nos communautés sont contraintes de naviguer.

Mais il ne s’agit pas uniquement d’une histoire de violence. Partout sur le continent, les mouvements queer et féministes contestent déjà ces récits, démantèlent les systèmes de violence et construisent des espaces numériques alternatifs fondés sur le pouvoir collectif et la sécurité.

Lors de la table ronde de demain, nous entendrons les témoignages des activistes qui œuvrent actuellement pour faire avancer ce combat.

📖: Perks of Being A Wallflower
✍️: Stephen Chbosky
Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟⭐ (4.8)

I am gradually making my way through some classics, and ‘The Perks of Being A Wallflower’ was next on the list. It was an enjoyable read, albeit parts of it being quite sad but I am a sucker for such realistic storytelling, so no complaints there.

I think the epistolary form works really well for the kind of narrative that this book presents. In my life as a reader, I have only come across a few epistolary novels with impressive execution, and this novel is now part of that list—up there, with the likes of So Long A Letter, On Earth We Are Briefly Gorgeous, among others.

I enjoyed listening/reading it immensely and felt that the various characters, especially Charlie, were very much alive, human, and relatable—either as parts of a self you’ve encountered or as people you’ve interacted with. The emotions were genuine, and the attention to detail—particularly for a novel about a wallflower—is remarkable.

Chbosky’s exploration of mental health, trauma and repressed memory is another thing I liked about reading. He handled it with a surprising amount of care. He doesn’t sensationalise the trauma, nor does he make a big show of it. In fact, I think if you don’t pay close attention as a reader, you might miss the fact that he suffers from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder(PTSD) and depression. And that this condition stems from childhood sexual abuse by his aunt Helen, combined with the guilt and trauma of her death and his best friend’s suic!de. It was beautiful (for want of a better word ) to see that this heavy subject is made to take the form of how Charlie deals with it—repressed, in the background.

And unlike some of its contemporaries, this coming-of-age novel is not about becoming popular or overcoming adolescence, but learning to feel, to live, to forgive, and to choose existence over disappearance. And so it, speaks to anyone who has ever felt peripheral, too sensitive, or unsure of how to exist in the world. It is one of the reasons why this novel works.
