THE 25 BEST FILMS OF 2025 A Video Countdown vimeo.com/1156345183

My brain at the very end of group therapy today: you know how you always say that you were emotionally abused and neglected by your parents but not physically abused? Let me share a flashback with you…

My Lyft driver’s name is the same as my cat’s (though his is hyphenated)

I can already tell this is one of those movies that is going to become my entire personality

One of the worst parts of being an elder millennial is that I have to keep Facebook to keep track of friends who never made the jump to less awful social media, and sometimes when you open it you see that people you knew are using AI to "take" their family Christmas photos. Why even exist anymore?

Oh hi negative core beliefs. I know that I've been doing a good job of getting rid of you, but I guess I can let you back in for Christmas...

Seated at @siffnews.bsky.social for opening night of #Avatar and they are playing Blue (Da Ba Dee) by Eiffel 65 which is just perfect

The 3 democrats who voted to jail doctors who show compassion to trans kids - allowing the bill to pass the house - should at minimum be primaried. I hope their future children and grandchildren are trans and disown them

I just realized TPaB turned 10 this year! How is that possible? Is calling it both my favorite and what I perceive to be the greatest album of all time now a boomer take?

No surprise that Newsom didn’t include the next line of that quote where Reagan continued “unless they’re fags and then the nation needs to be purged of them.”

"Check on your trans frie-" No. Give them money. Hire them. Buy them a video game.

Your girl finally got her “trophy” for winning the LDXP Tacoma Legacy Championship. Also friendly reminder that my deck is gorgeous.

The uncontrollable urge to delete all of my social accounts and disappear from the world when things go bad

I got new hair yesterday, please tell me I’m cute

I will never get over how gorgeous @umbrellaent.bsky.social releases are. Importing them may be a bit much for most people but if you enjoy physical media you owe yourself one of their releases

Little Amélie or the Character of Rain is based (I know I'm too old to say based, but I'm pretty sure I used it right)

I need someone to take control of my music and not let me listen to any more Cat Power for the rest of the month. I’m considering moving to Lana Del Rey for a “pick-me-up”

I don’t know if I’m a hopeless romantic eternally pining for a love to fill my heart or just horny (or both)

It’s so telling when I talk about my recent date with my straight girl friends and they tell me I have “game” because 1. I ask for consent at each small step of intimacy, not just large ones, and 2. I frequently checked in with her to see how she’s feeling both during and after the date

Anyone care to guess how eagerly the Dems will agree to the GOPs HSA bill even though it bans ALL physical medical gender treatments for both children and adults who get insurance from the exchange? #DeathBeforeDetransition www.finance.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

Plex Submits $35 Bid For Warner Bros.

Sharing my Serra Angel collection with @izzetserra.bsky.social and anyone else who wants to see. I currently have 236 out of 363 unique printings. I’m only missing Alpha and Summer as far as Douglas Shuler prints go

Every trans person you know is exhausted. Beaten down. We've been going through a parade of constant state sanctioned and private corporation enabled stripping of our rights and safety for a decade now. We are still here, we are still standing, but we are so god damn tired. It's your turn now.

Not been able to stop thinking about this date. No work has been accomplished today

I unlocked a new experience last night that I highly recommend. A random stranger came up to me and my date last night as we were cuddling on a couch in a bar, and asked if she could upload a video she took of us to instagram because we were “so fucking adorable”

With today’s Netflix/WB news, it would be a great day to buy a membership at your local independent/ arthouse theater. Been a @siffnews.bsky.social member for all 12 years I’ve lived in Seattle and have never regretted it.

It’s always funny how “Big Tent” means keep the same size tent but move it to the right and let people on the left fall out

This is extremely terrifying for a lover of the cinema. WB is 25% of this year’s box office, if that goes to a company that refuses to theatrically release their films outside of a one weekend, one LA screen Oscar qualifying run, that is probably the death knell for the theatrical experience

Somehow the worst beginning to a day that I have had in years shares the best end to a day I’ve had in a decade. Between AM adrenaline (negative) and PM adrenaline (positive) I am ready to sleep for the next week

I’m so fucking femme it should be illegal

You know that feeling where you’ve had 4 panic attacks in the last 18 hours and then the buildup of cortisol finally hits? I swear some replaced my blood with molasses

Ugh just left a discord server that had been really good for me because one person got angry and aggressive and I felt attacked, but now I’m really sad to have lost the rest of the community. I really hate that my trauma response is so strong

I seek out sapphic films so frequently, that it’s always funny when I put on a random film without that intention and it still happens to include a queer story about women

Paint me like one of your French snowgirls

The most listened to song portion of Spotify Wrapped is really boring when you primarily listen to full albums

I respect the hell out of any director who has the gall to put “part I” in the title of her 5 1/2 documentary. If you need me today I’ll be at @siffnews.bsky.social seeing Julia Loktev’s “My Undesirable Friends: Part I - Last Air in Moscow” all day

Nothing screams birthday bitch like totally irresponsible shoes, also I clean up hella cute!

I have hooked up my Black Friday (week) purchase of Dolby Atmos surround sound, and am breaking into the @umbrellaent.bsky.social 4K release of The Fall. A gorgeous film in the best picture and audio quality I’ve experienced it in makes for a great birthday afternoon.

Feels really significant that the Trump admin is making a concerted effort to force colleges to undo policies that made campus safe and accessible for trans people, because for so many trans people college is the first place they ever get to be themselves.

"The agreement places no restrictions on our transgender community." Except whether they can play sports, where they can use the bathroom or locker room, what kind of housing they can live in, and what healthcare they can receive.

HOLY FUCK JESSIE BUCKLEY!!!!

My local independent movie theater, @siffnews.bsky.social, is showing a 5 1/2 hour Russian documentary this weekend Most people: who would ever watch something like that at all let alone in a movie theater? Me: what plans can I cancel so I can make this work?

In my best Mr. Peanutbutter voice: Am I a Shin’ya Tsukamoto creation because I’ve got iron pumping through my veins. (Aka I’m very anemic and getting an IV iron infusion)

After bouncing between four different films for my best of the year so far status ("Sorry, Baby", "One Battle After Another" "Sinners", and "If I Had Legs I'd Kick You"), none of them are in contention any longer

When misogyny is baked into every aspect of existence, how do we know when a critique is not the result of an implicit bias or overt hatred for women? And when do we know praise is coming from a place of sincerity and not defensiveness? #WickedForGood www.slashfilm.com/2033262/wick...

I really enjoyed working with healthcare data, but needed to keep moving to less and less evil companies

After a few years of upheaval, I am ready to return to my passion of both watching and writing about film. My goal is to write a short review on one film a day as I work on getting my writing skills back. Posts will be published on my website womanwithamovieblog.com, and included in this thread.

Bunch of girls hosting an mtg podcast, call that a Thotcast

My B&N November Criterion sale order came in. Any favorites?
