Just saw Mickey 17 in IMAX. What an astonishing movie! And what an incredible performance from Robert Pattinson. Bong Joon Ho is a true genius of cinema. I haven’t been blown away by a film like this in a long while.

It's funny how the KMT worldview is like, "Forget 228, that happened 78 years ago", and they'll be like "But actually, what we need to remember and never forget is Japanese colonialism and the Sino-Japanese War", which was more than 78 years ago

I've finally started watching Star Trek Voyager, and I really loved episode 9 (s01). Something very delightful in seeing a Federation ship on the receiving end of their own patronizing "prime directive"!

My latest piece for @teenvogue.com delves into the horrific story of popular skincare ingredient Retin-A. Before Retin-A was approved by the FDA in 1971, it had been tested on hundreds of incarcerated Black people in Philadelphia, without their informed consent. The survivors still bear the scars.
