    At Least You Know You Exist

    “because of you, i know that i exist”

    watched on the big screen (also with daniel).
    cried so much after hearing that line as i reflected on each and every older queer person in my life with whom i’ve cultivated a type of mentor-mentee/ mother-daughter/ sisterly/ brotherly/ fatherly relationship, and the ways in which i constantly grow into/ find myself through these relationships! very lovely short film methinks

  • The Queen

    The Queen

    ★★★

    a riveting archival piece! felt in my bones every word crystal labeija chucked at rachel harlow after the contest, and during q&a, after the screening, some white dude was like “i was personally very close to rachel and i don’t realllyy knoww if “racism” played a part in her winnn… rachel was perfect, she had perfect skin” like. hmm die maybe? though thankfully the hosts quickly moved on to other audience members’ questions. anyway it was a triple feature of this film, ‘queen of hearts,’ and ‘at least you know you exist’ at the hammer museum!
    watched with daniel :)

    The first people we see are white British people
    The opening scene is predicated on…

    The only other film that made me react in this way, or at least in a similar way… (tbh sobbing in a regal edward’s restroom stall) was Mysterious Skin. i feel like my heart and my guts were ripped out and dangled above me. sky and i held hands tho and that helped a lot! 
    Korean Transfem Convention + Sky needed to debrief at Denny’s till 2 am right after.

    Will return to this in a number of years..
