Her documentary All The Beauty And The Bloodshed changed my life. Super powerful stuff about her time in the queer scene of 1980s nyc + her activism on the opioid crisis

I couldnt decide so in no particular order
•Bloodsisters (1995):Great documentary about the San Francisco leather dyke scene in the 90s, amazing look into personal dynamics, terminology, you also get to see the 93 Washington gay and lesbian march as well as the Ms. Leather pageant. Michell Handelman truly preserved something special
•Wojnarowic:F**k you f*ggot f**ker(2020)- a pretty recent doc that truly shows the brutality of the Regan administration to the gay community during the AIDS crisis and also give roses to one of the most criminally underrated artist of that time. The title is also pulled directly from David’s paintings born from a homophobic doodle he found on the sidewalk.

“Pre-AIDS gay media always makes me emotional. Unabashedly living as queer in the face of everything makes me emotional. I love the intimacy of this documentary so much. It's so casual and the camera revels in the queens' presence it feels like I could reach through the screen and touch them and then I get emotional again that I cannot. Crystal LaBeija, one of the most influential queens in history, you will always be loved and your legacy is your true win. I love queer flaboyancy and homosexual sensability. Not only have we always been here, but some of us have even always dared to live as we naturally are.”

Beautiful doc about skate culture, toxic masculinity, abuse, and friendship. Made me sob when I first watched 6-7 years ago and still makes me tear up when I think of it

whenever i’m away from this app i’m like… I have nothing to post. And then it reminds me that maybe i’m a little miserable and infected by haterism and that’s why I can’t think of anything to recommend to all of u fellow friends. reminding myself of things I like n enjoy is kind of like reminding urself of everything ur grateful for :)
