parents are so crazy because they can say the most fucked up shit to you when your brain is forming and it sets the tone for your whole adult mind set and then they forget about it the next day

Top 5 lesbian movies?

GOD what a great question. (i will be hones there’s like. so many interesting-sounding lesbian movies i haven’t seen because watching movies is a sisyphean task). let’s go:

1. “but i’m a cheerleader” dir. jamie babbit - now i am biased because this movie is the most singularly formative piece of media in my life (introduced me to gay people at age 8 when my grandma unknowingly rented it for me at blockbuster) BUT it also happens to be a stellar film. incredible parody and a really gorgeous love story. melanie lynksey is also there

2. “the half of it” dir. alice wu - follows a chinese-american lesbian named ellie chu and her new best friend paul and a girl they both have a crush on. hijinks! mistaken identities! a deeply moving depiction of platonic friendship! every coming of age movie trope, but ten times better! i cried!

3. “saving face” dir. alice wu - follows a chinese american doctor named wil as she navigates being a closeted lesbian in her community—which gets complicated when she starts dating vivian, also from the same community. also includes complex mother-daughter relationships, some great comedy moments, and another ending that made me cry . ms. wu if you write/direct more films i will BE there 🫡

4. “summerland” dir. jessica swale - a reclusive curmudgeon of a lesbian takes in a young kid needing refuge from the london blitz. we learn exactly why she’s a curmudgeon via flashbacks to her romance with gugu mbatha-raw. i am being so vague because it’s one of those devastatingly beautiful movies that’s best watched with zero foreknowledge. also gorgeous cinematography!

5. “D.E.B.S.” dir. angela robinson - this movie is about a TEENAGE LESBIAN SUPER SPY who follows in love with a TEENAGE LESBIAN SUPER VILLAIN. it’s campy! it’s genuinely enemies-to-lovers! a movie for everyone who wants to combine dr. doofenshmirtz and xena: warrior princess into a single character

I love how different forms of art are all obsessed with each other. A book tries to capture the feeling of music, a painting tries to depict a scene in a book, a song tries to paint a picture. And it's always insufficient. No single form of art can encapsulate another form of art and capture the essence of it – but it tries, and its attempts are impossibly compelling. All the forms of art are in love with each other and spend so much time trying to express what makes the other kinds of art so lovely.

On a border between two States Someone has written, “Fuck your nationalism. We are all Earthlings.”

And on the Mexican border, Someone has ripped through a fence Of reinforced chicken wire With bolt cutters, And erected a hammock By suspending it Between two of the fence’s Concrete pillars.

After swinging gently back and forth, From Texas to Mexico and then From Mexico back to Texas, They doze off; contemptuous Of the security guards Patrolling this artificial demarcation  – For, once upon a time, Texas was Mexico And Texas didn’t exist.

When Eugene Debs was imprisoned For conscientious objection in World War One He said, on September 11th 1915, “I have no country to fight for My country is the earth I’m a citizen of the world.”

there is no such thing as being "behind in life" but it's okay to recognise that you missed out on some things whilst you were busy surviving

If you are taking the car to Chicago, can you even call yourself a feminist. There are Women on that train who want to have gay sex with you but can't because you are taking a fucking car to Chicago

Certain words can change your brain forever and ever so you do have to be very careful about it.
