@piratescarlett Are you proposing film/saké pairings!? 😍
@a0dbxza Ugetsu’s actually on my short list for rewatches right now. Let me rewatch that and then I’ll dip in here: super curious. 🙌
I have tracked anti-trans legislation for 3 years. Every day, people have asked me where to move or how at risk they are in their state.
So I created the anti-trans legislative risk map.
This is my final map of 2022.

#Timetravel, still images, a past, present and future and the aftermath of World War III. The tale of a man, a slave, sent back and forth, in and out of time, to find a solution to the world’s fate. #French #Cinema #Shortfilm #Movies
@a0dbxza I haven’t watched this one in twenty plus years, but I remember it as a revelatory experience for younger me.
@terrafiedkestrel @rooster “It’s not funny, it’s fucking Marvel Universe” sums it up wonderfully. Thank you for this sentiment—it’s beautiful. 🥹
@rooster like I’ve been living in this scarcity mode of “I started transitioning at 50, I don’t get a choice of wear I land.” But then seeing girls like you out there saying “fuck this I’m going to be…” makes me have hope and makes me actually think “what DO I want to embody.” It’s not funny, it’s fucking Marvel Universe.
@rooster it’s not funny, it’s fucking badass and makes me happy. Like thinking that you can literally be in hell cosplaying a man and not only become the woman you are, but get to say “what kind of feminine aesthetic do I want to embody?”
This is something I that most people don’t ever get to do. Most people fall into who they are by accident without ever thinking “what aspect do I want to embody?” That’s why it’s amazing and is a superpower. Watching you is just so grand for that. 💕💕
I watched A Touch of Zen (1971) last night. https://boxd.it/SFm 🥰
Oh, mad 💞 for the lordly women of this film, who fling knives and soup, arrange marriages and ambushes; for the loyal retainers who dramatize royally; for the humble bookworm whose learnings actualize gruesomely; and, of course, for the goon-flicking buddhists who stand taller than all the rest.
Originally, two films, here stitched together, you’d be forgiven for thinking it was three or more: it includes its own prequel, sequel and prologue within it. Lovely, lovely photography, with some delightful nature intercutting during later fight scenes that would be difficult or impossible to articulate with today’s hyper-realistic #cinema language.
@tillybridges @rooster and now that I’ve had coffee, the actual thought I meant to add:
Sometimes you have to put distance between yourself and the people you’ve known to make room for the people you will come to know. That goes for families as well.
@tillybridges @rooster 👆 What Tilly said cannot be overstated.👆
@sparrowpost Thank you! That was amazing—I can’t believe I’d never seen it before!
@tillybridges 🙉Can’t wait Can’t wait Such a fabulous show! 🙉
@tillybridges That’s most of us, I think. Approved!
