Tag! Queer Shorts Festival is leaning into cute and playful images for this year's design theme featuring the pre-war friends and family of Dick and Jane (of Elson-Gray reader fame). But in case there's any doubt... Tag! is still unapologetically antifa.

It's going to rain this weekend, which is why it's a perfect excuse to go to the great short films in @tagqsf.org. It's a really nicely curated festival full of work you aren't likely to see anywhere else. And it's broken up into four blocks so you can pick a theme if you don't have time for it all.
