There are certainly more sophisticated ways of talking about how the movie They Cloned Tyrone fits so well within the tradition of Black surrealism. One can draw a line, say, from Get Out to Sorry to Bother You to They Cloned Tyrone.

Joining in the Heated Rivalry discourse even tho I haven’t seen it lol. But the show heavily—and I mean heavily—reminds me of how the creators and audience of Yaoi are never gay men, but instead are largely straight women.

Art lives in the process, in the struggle to grow and figure out the specific needs of the work, and in the arrival at a better understanding of the artist’s limitations. The product is just the end result of the art.

Virginia Woolf at the end of her near 150 page letter (Three Guineas) has so much sass and I’m loving it!

Important lesson of last night's elections: progressives won across the country because they didn't water down their message and their values.

I don’t know how they do it, but international queer coming-of-age films are so devastatingly beautiful. Just finished watching Young Hearts and its joined my favorites among Close and Heartstone.

Instead of looking for “the next liberal Joe Rogan” or asking for donations by email or any of the “optics” which try to cater to the nonexistent “centrist”, the Dems SHOULD be out on the streets, in the communities they represent, actually doing the work

Absolutely donate to libraries, but…I would heavily caution donating to Wikipedia. The people who write the articles are volunteers (a third of which have been written/edited by 1 person). Which means that those donations don’t go the people who keep the site running.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing. They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays. The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k. www.businessinsider.com/denver-basic...

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. A year later, nearly half of participants said they had housing.

Participants in Denver's basic-income program reported having more-secure housing, though results were similar in the trial and control groups.

Is it me or are coffee table books only meant to be seen such that their purpose is to provide an aesthetic? The content becomes an afterthought to the cover and design. Words not meant to be read is such a strange idea. Unless I’m wrong and people voraciously read them.

Recently I’ve read How We Named the Stars by @andresnordorica.bsky.social , In Tongues by Thomas Grattan, and Memorial by Brian Washington which were all spectacular. Any other queer novels that fit that vibe?

When reading submissions for magazines, what really bums me out is that some writers have an amazing jewel of an idea but it’s stuck within a story that doesn’t quite play out the right way.
