Things I think folks can learn to say, get comfortable saying, and show others are okay to say, that would genuinely improve the state of the world: "I didn't know that" "I was wrong" "What does that word mean?" "Can you explain this?" "I don't think I understand" "I don't know" "I'm confused"

Every indie filmmaker I know is living a version of this, myself included. And it’s not what any of us signed up for. There is much organizing to do among indie lifers so we can actually be paid for our labor and push our films directly to the audiences who want to see them. Bravo, Sean Baker.

hello cis friends this is what people mean by trans genocide if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported this headline change isn't even being caused by an executive order it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist

Thanks for including CHASING CHASING AMY in this wonderful list of films, @silaskade.bsky.social! You have yourself a new subscriber. And you’re so right to clock me as a Wife Guy (genuine). 😉

Today was a day of mass censorship. Sending love & solidarity to all the amazing career scientists in government. For the rest of us: Now is not the time to self-censor or comply in advance. More than ever we need to stand by the principles of our profession and always keep speaking truth to power.

On this week's episode of #FemFreqRadio, we're joined by director @savrodgers.bsky.social to discuss his documentary CHASING CHASING AMY and the complicated legacy of its subject matter, Kevin Smith's 1997 film CHASING AMY. Listen at patreon.com/posts/120994...

In my humble cis opinion, 2024 was a good year for trans cinema! I've now seen all of these except for Layla (not sure when/if it will be available in the US).

Really dug CHASING CHASING AMY, a very personal documentary on finding yourself in media as well as a solid examination of the.. complicated intentions and readings of the Kevin Smith movie. It's on Hoopla!

There was some great trans representation last year, but Emilia Perez wasn't one of them. Chasing Chasing Amy was one of my top movies last year. I cannot recommend it enough. It's not listed, but I also recommend Satranic Panic for some trans horror comedy. It felt like Buffy meets To Wong Foo.

While I was rooting for WILL & HARPER, QUEENDOM, and SEAT 31: ZOOEY ZEPHYR to get nods today, these are terrific films who will survive just fine without the recognition of any one awards body. These movies rule—and I am thankful they exist.

Feeling compelled to link to the entire two seasons of You Must Remember This where Katrina Longworth brilliantly dissects how afraid Hollywood (forgive the imprecise catch-all term) is DEEPLY afraid of sex.
