I’m also a big fan (of my wife)

chicago moots! my friend can’t make it to MOULIN ROUGE! (2001) (sold out) at the music box tonight so i have an extra ticket. dm me if you want to come!

It’s too late. I’ve already depicted you as the shrill histrionic male tree swallow and myself as the calm & reasonable female tree swallow. It's over.

Sophie she's so unique and so amazing and i love her MelloMakes If they told Nobuhiko Obayashi to make a Fast and Furious movie Charlie music box q&a moderator: how did it feel making a masterpiece? lilly wachowski, wearing beautiful leather boots and an abolish ice shirt: it was pretty cool Sam I know it's not cool to just quote the movie in the Letterbox entry anymore but when Sparky goes "Do you know who you're racing against?" It brought me to tears instantly Lexy Claudia "protect trans kids, fuck ice, and enjoy speed racer"

the 14th Amendment was meant to be universal: all those born in the United States are citizens of the United States. All. It’s one of the moral victories of Reconstruction we still have.

Key conservative justices raised doubts about the constitutionality of the president's executive order that would end automatic citizenship for children born on U.S. soil to undocumented immigrants and some temporary foreign visitors. But in an argument that lasted more than two hours, several of the court's conservative justices also asked tough questions of a lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union, which brought the legal challenge, making the outcome of the legally complicated and hugely consequential case not fully clear.

please feel free to ignore Supreme Court coverage that lies about the citizenship case being “legally complicated”… www.nytimes.com/2026/04/01/u... (via @katz.theracket.news in theracket.news/p/breaking-s...)

The String Orchestra of Brooklyn: String Theories 2026 The String Orchestra of Brooklyn: String Theories 2026 Large string ensemble performs works by Penderecki, Greenwood, Hennies, and Randall-Myers.

The way I’m visible and trans on this day is that you can hear my piece “Falling Together” performed by the String Orchestta of Brooklyn tonight at Roulette along with music by Penderecki, Brendon Randall-Myers, and Johnny Greenwood. Insane show, come if you can! roulette.org/event/the-st...

I don't think there is any point in creating anything for any reason other than "I want this to exist." Good art comes from audacity. All of the art that means the most to me is unhinged and terrifying and took years to find an audience. I should be so lucky.

Anyways, hope to hear back soon! ♥️

post a non-religious picture you think of as holy

if we lived in a society that wanted to function we'd make being an air traffic controller the job with the best support in the world with plenty of rest time and deep coverage for every role

instead we have underpaid people
working 60+ hour weeks

the US is having people die in completely avoidable incidents because it is run by people who have made a wholesale abdication of any notion of doing anything right or the public good

I have seen the flying squirrels of Uptown! Here's a 50% speed video of them in action tonight.

TRANS IS AGAINST NOSTALGIA by Taylor Johnson Everyday I build the little boat, my body boat, hold for the unique one, the formless soul, the blue fire that coaxes my being into being. Yes, there was music in the woods, and I was in love with …

Let’s work together. — ethanmarcotte.com Hi, I’m Ethan. I’m a web designer who helps companies make beautiful sites and services that work everywhere.

I’m winding down with two clients I’ve been working with since January, which means I’ve got some availability for new work opening up soon.

If you need a designer who thinks deeply about systems, teams, and users, AND who will ooh+ahh over an especially pretty serif, I’d love to chat with you!

Boundary-breaking filmmakers reclaim their stories with these richly varied looks at the trans experience. Long misrepresented on-screen through disreputable and actively harmful images, trans characters have come into focus thanks to a pioneering generation of trans directors determined to capture their lives with nuance and hard-won insight. Curated by Caden Mark Gardner and Willow Catelyn Maclay, authors of the book Corpses, Fools, and Monsters: The History and Future of Transness in Cinema, these revealing counterhistories of cultural trailblazers (Rupert Remembers, No Ordinary Man), intersectional portraits of everyday survival (Drunktown’s Finest, Lingua Franca), and bold explorations of identity in the online age (We’re All Going to the World’s Fair, Castration Movie Anthology i. Traps) show that there is no single, common trans film image but rather a kaleidoscope of voices, forms, and lived realities. FEATURES: Maggots and Men (2009), Drunktown’s Finest (2014), So Pretty (2019), Lingua Franca (2019), No Ordinary Man (2020), We’re All Going To The World’s Fair (2021), Dog Movie (2023), Castration Movie Anthology i. Traps (2024), Queens of Drama (2024) SHORTS: Gender Troublemakers (1993), Rupert Remembers (2000)

Full details of our Trans Filmmakers program on the Criterion Channel can be found below. We're very excited to bring these movies to a wider audience and we hope that everyone has a good time with this series.
