| 11/14/25 | Episode 183 - Community Chat with Tanvir Ahmed | This week, Jenna, Nick, Shingai and Sameem interview Tanvir Ahmed! Please see the addendum below from Tanvir. Addendum from Tanvir Ahmed: This conversation was recorded in September 2025, and in it, I mentioned that Afghanistan was not presently being bombed. Between then and now, Pakistan bombed Afghanistan and killed dozens from the air, including journalists, cricket players, and children. Pakistan's escalation plans have been broadcast for some time now, as reported in February 2025. The article under discussion in Strange Horizons was about the way Muslims are racialized into monsters, with specific reference to Afghans. That same process is still at work in the ongoing ethnic cleansings of Afghans in Pakistan and Iran.
