These are in no particular order. Also I’ll own my bias. I tend to be drawn to queer films more Lesbian-Centric! 👯 👭 Disclosure (2020) — IMDb Disclosure is documentary about trans peoples’ representation in media in film. The documentary opens up with Laverne Cox talking about how eighty percent…

Now I’m not a chef, or an expert in culinary arts in any respect, but sandwich making isn’t cooking. It is an art form. So please, enjoy this brief journey into my creative process: Bread Toast it just right, unless it is fresh baked bread/still hot. Toast it somewhere between…

Unfortunately, A Poem I cried when I heard about the Ukrainian 13. “Russian Warship Go Fuck Yourself!” Even as a stranger, it’s hard not to marvel at this audacious display of valor. As an American, in our isolationist, post-factual society, it’s hard not to regard Patriotism as anything more than racist propaganda.

Oppression is not reasonable. Stop trying to rationalize the inner workings of the unreasonable.

The The Future: Who are you? When are you? Have you even been born? If so, I suppose that’s a good sign. Not for me or my loved ones. We’re probably dead. No wonder the old fear the young, a more than infuriating reminder of their (or our) imminent death. …

A Not So Civil Poem Imagine if after the war, Jewish people, the resistance, queers, commies, gypsies, were told over and over, “Bring the Nazis along” for German reconstruction. Just as they were told during the fascist movement’s sudden, yet somehow pernicious, rise. The word Holocaust means death by fire. You…
