“The watermelon woman” (1996) dir. cheryl dunye

i watched this in february and i thought this film was super interesting! i think it's a very important film for representation of black queer women (for the time period) as well as its themes of hollywood historically forgetting black actresses, friendship, and romantic relationships. there were a few aspects of the film that i didn't like, such as how cheryl (the main character) basically prioritized her relationship with diana over her friendship with tamara. but overall i think it's an important part of queer canon :)

Go Fish (1994)

a bunch of lesbians hanging out in the 90s and living and talking about movies and their lives; gotta be one of my favorite film genres. co-written by guinevere turner, who also stars in The Watermelon Woman, another cornerstone classic of the genre.

20TH CENTURY WOMEN

it’s a recommendation from a film school best friend, and I feel like this film not only dissects womanhood, but also shows how a gay boy like me, being surrounded by women, felt so comfortable and warm :)

being a nerd about stuff

being traditionally cool is really quite boring and iterative, and it’s actually very cool and sexy to geek out about something you like or share bits of knowledge on a topic you’re passionate about

MAY DAY

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WORKER’S DAY!!!! i love having a union, i love being a union steward and getting to support my unit. when my union won its contract, i got a pay bump, better benefits, and increased protection as a worker. 🥳 unions help address racial and gender pay gaps, issues workplaces impose on families and those having kids, addressing unsafe conditions, plus things like better health insurance, wages and overtime, weingarten rights to representation, and more!!! if you don’t have a union but are thinking about forming one, check out AFL-CIO’s page (linked) or Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee. there’s always more power in a union!! ✊🥖🌹
