Happy Mother's Day

Oh hey, I am once again going to talk about lack of distress tolerance, specifically for shame, and how it ties together AI, the “male loneliness epidemic,” Trumpism, and yes, people’s indignation that anyone might think they’re a bad person for continuing to buy Harry Potter merch.

yeah so this new kink ive been getting really into is where the girl likes me and i like her and we both enjoy having sex with each other because we wanted it to happen. yeah not sure what that’s called but it’s so hot right? kinda fucked tho. i think i might be too far gone. this might be illegal

thunderstruck sounds like a song the gremlins from gremlins would make if you locked them in a Guitar Center

wow, castration movie anthology ii is on kanopy, libraries rule www.kanopy.com/en/product/j...

an Ohio honey-hunter, who seeking honey in the crotch of a hollow tree, found such exceeding store of it, that leaning too far over, it sucked him in, so that he died embalmed

Okay, can we just talk about how this is the greatest three minutes in the history of cinema?

30 years ago today, Principal Skinner purchased fast food to disguise as his own cooking at an unforgettable luncheon with Superintendent Chalmers. #TheSimpsons episode “22 Short Films About Springfield” first aired April 14, 1996.

It’s profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that that’s what Daredevil is for

anytime i'm catching shit from god and His church, the state, medicine, the near entirety of human culture produced thus far, the populace, it's like yes, this sucks, but it is also correct. there was never going to be peace between us. fuck you ! ha ha!

Once again, Snake Plisken is on point.

Oh god, I’m at the point in my forties where I’m relating to Eagles songs. Oh fuck oh shit mayday mayday mayday

(I wordlessly undress down to sleepwear and get into bed, exactly the way I always do.) My girl (looking at me with yearning and indignation): Don’t try that on me. I know all your tricks. Slut.

This is really all they have left. "We have a pointless and criminal war pushing gas prices through the roof and the global economy to the brink but at least the government isn't treating trans people like they're human beings" will be the entirety of the midterm message.

Goals

SPACE WITCH: We must check if you are the magical girlboy. Put your hand in the magic pain box. It causes extreme pain. PAUL JIHAD: Why? SPACE WITCH: What are you, a pussy? PAUL JIHAD: No! Watch this. OW. I can so this all day. SPACE WITCH: lol. You just put your hand in the oven, dipshit.

jupiter wishes you a very happy trans day of visibility 🏳️‍⚧️

it's trans day of please for the love of god just leave us alone and also give us $50 for groceries

trans woman: I am a woman and am taking fairly straightforward measures to establish that womanhood in my body and in the world queer theorist: I agree, in the sense that no one is and everybody always was. the native. the totally other. a kind of drumbeat beyond time. similar to LSD. we are raving

I never know what to do or say on TDOV. I feel far too visible lately, but there are positive things that come with that sometimes. We wrote a book. It's steeped in trans history & tells our story in cinema dating back to the silent era and up to the current moment. People seem to like it.

When I try to tell cis people how it’s scary for us right now, the reply is usually the same. “I’m scared too. It’s scary for everyone right now. [names 3-4 marginalized groups] I can’t even read the news anymore.” If you want to be a good ally today, ask a trans person how it’s going. And listen.

It’s true, I’m a sleepy girl.

Joe Dante and Hideo Kojima are close seconds but no director was more right about the future of war than Barry Levinson with the 1992 box office flop Toys.

Happy Dr. Richard Kimble Day everyone

If you didn't catch the names in PTA's speech, the 1975 Best Picture nominees are Barry Lyndon, Dog Day Afternoon, Jaws, Nashville, and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. There are no skips; there is no wrong place to start. They will make you love American movies anew, and demand the best from them.

Search your camera roll for hell

I wrote about my favorite movies from last year.

There are movies, and then there are Frank Henenlotter movies.

Trans and queer writers review thirteen essential queer books (that weren’t covered by the New York Times Book Review during Pamela Paul’s reign).

I spent the last week writing up this essay on what it means to be trans in this moment. What it means to live under authoritarianism as the scapegoated minority of the moment and how it feels inescapable as an infinite loop. www.thedissident.news/exit-conditi...

just heard a trans woman say she doesn’t enjoy lou reed. she just set us back 10 years and she cannot even begin to comprehend how fucked we are now because of this

happy international women's day

The girl gremlin is trans and I'm certain she got her ideas of glamour from Bugs Bunny. If we look at the evidence in the film then we know that they reproduce asexually when Gizmo is soaked with water. They are all versions of TV obsessed Gizmo who was assigned male at bi-[is tackled by security]

RIP Lyle Conway, who oversaw some of cinema's most groundbreaking, impressive and influential creatures as animatronic designer & creature sculptor.

Grace is a good one. You can trust her to be kind and valiant with your story. 💙

The Greatest Films of All Time (According to Trans People)! I polled more than 40 transgender and non-binary filmmakers, film critics, and cinephiles to find out which films trans folks connected to most. Check it out below!

As transgender Kansans grapple with a challenging new reality today, and the rest of the nation watches what’s happening in the Sunflower State, here’s a thread of @kansasreflector.com stories and opinion pieces about SB 244. (1/15) #ksleg #trans #lgbtq

The best thing you can do in light of the Ellison takeover of Warner Brothers invest your time, energy, and money in supporting independent creators and independent distribution networks and independent venues. It is absolutely crucial to make independence a viable option.

Again: trans people are a very small minority. If your *KNEEJERK* reaction when you encounter these rare & beautiful butterflies is *ANYTHING* other than “What can I do to make your life a little brighter?” you need to interrogate yourself. Impede the life of trans ppl & you’re in danger, from me. ❤️

Little girl in the women’s room: I think there’s blood in here. Older sister: No, there’s no blood. Little girl (quietly, to herself): There’s blood in the walls. 😳

call me a bleeding heart but i do not think the state should have the power to invalidate trans people’s identities and effectively imprison them. if you can’t legally drive in KANSAS how the hell are you meant to get anywhere

Once you’ve been loved by someone who genuinely respects and appreciates you, it’s impossible to let anyone else walk all over you, and ridiculous to think you ever did.
