🌍 Time is a colonial construct – here's how to reclaim it: Indigenous people often successfully managed to either defy the imposition of British clock-governed culture, or to exploit the temporal discourses of their reformers as an act of resistance.

🌍 Ending anti-gay 'conversion therapy' around the world: Anti-gay ‘conversion therapy’ has been condemned around the world, but only a handful of countries have actually banned it.
