No Me Digas Transistor (https://transistor.fm) https://feeds.transistor.fm/no-me-digas El Huateque presents: No Me Digas. A podcast hosted by Tor Chavarria What’s it like being brown and queer in today’s America? Well, for me it sucks a lot, but it has its glorious moments. NBD, no big deal. To be honest, I’m still figuring stuff out, and since I’m extra #AF I decided to create a podcast so everyone can listen in while I explore what it’s like being a large, fabulous, (former) Texan, Chicano, queer, non-binary person living in a white dominated country.

Like others, we continue to process and come to terms with our new reality.

For this episode producer, Filiberto Nolasco Gomez gives Tor, a native of El Paso, a chance to speak to what they have been experiencing. This was a hard episode to record, but we felt it was important to share our thoughts as our community collectively processes the hostility of white supremacist terror.

Ultimately continuing to do what we do is our most excellent defense against acts of terror.
