We live in a hellscape.

what do you mean elon musk did a nazi salute on live tv at the united states presidential inauguration twice and is now erasing the evidence off the internet by replacing the footage with the crowd cheering instead?

would be a shame if people reblogged this, wouldn’t it?

I hope you know this post is the inspiration for my senior thesis in college. 🖤

IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE (1946) • JIMMY STEWART as George Bailey and LIONEL BARRYMORE as Mr. Potter

This movie is so important to me because Buffy (and a few other pieces of media) really functioned in such a similar way for me.

“I really did live and breathe Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I cared about Buffy more than I cared about my real life. And just having that consistency — when I was, like, 10, I watched the first season of that show while it aired, and was with it for seven years. And it was such a tool of dissociation for me. It was, in hindsight, I think, very much a coping mechanism for not being able to form the kinds of deep romantic relationships that other people can form when they’re an adolescent in the right body. I wasn’t in a place where I could open myself up to people, but here was this show that was so emotional, that I could have this relationship with.” -Jane Schoenbrun

Home for Thanksgiving break, and this book was waiting for me! I’ve loved SD Simper’s romance novel retelling of Carmilla since I read it a couple years ago, so I eagerly backed the crowdfunding campaign for this illustrated hardcover several months back, and it turned out beautifully! 🖤 I also adore the bookmark and tarot card add-ons.

Firstly, so glad JSTOR is doing this. Secondly, trans folks and drag artists aren’t mutually exclusive, but the fact that the image description on this post about trans history says “a man in drag” makes me feel weird.

The preservation of transgender history is essential to ensuring that the stories and experiences of trans people are not forgotten. The Digital Transgender Archive (DTA) has taken on the vital task of gathering and protecting this history, bringing together documents, images, and materials that reflect the rich and diverse experiences of transgender people across time and place.

By making these resources accessible, the DTA facilitates explorations of the often-hidden or erased narratives of trans communities. From personal stories to institutional records, these materials provide a window into the challenges and triumphs faced by trans individuals, while also celebrating the resilience and diversity of these communities.

Preserving this history is also about ensuring that future generations can learn, understand, and be inspired by the stories of those who came before them.

Haven’t posted about it yet because today was super busy, but Beetlejuice Beetlejuice was so much fun!!! It riffs on the elements of the original film in ways that made my brain happy while also introducing new zany elements and characters that were fun. I don’t think anything will ever top the original movie, but I think this is pretty nearly the best sequel that could have been made under the circumstances. I will absolutely be having a double feature when this movie comes out on physical media! 🖤💚🖤💚

Seeing Beetlejuice Beetlejuice with friends this afternoon! The original movie means so much to me, so I’m really happy that I get to see the new one in theaters. 🖤
