Hi all! 😀 As I'm coming up on 1K followers, I wanted to introduce myself. I'm a writer with a particular focus on poetry, personal essays, book and movie reviews, and flash. I've linked some of the pieces I'm most proud of in this thread. I hope you enjoy! ✍️ ⬇️ 🌈 🦂 📚 🎥 🤓 🧜🏼♀️
AGREE! “Sorry, Baby” is of the best movies of the past few years. Moving, funny, smart, amazing acting and writing 🩷
Why are more people not talking about SORRY, BABY? This movie is incredible.

here is my story about how Zohran's focus on community amid the loneliness epidemic helped young people connect their politics to an organizing infrastructure, that interviewed ZM, and does not use the NYT's framing of "they don't know how to make friends" :-) and also ran 4 days before NYT's lol
Zohran Mamdani's Establishment-Fighting Campaign Built Community for Young People
“What Mamdani has done is not only inspire and mobilize young people, but he has exposed the establishment and some of their calcified views of participation and inclusion.”

Don’t ever let them tell you that hope is a bad thing, that the odds are so stacked against you that you will never win, that it is too late to change the world. What has happened today in New York can happen everywhere.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

I’m not that bothered by the wrecking of the White House. I’m a lot more concerned about people losing healthcare, food, and housing.

It’s ‘dog-eat-dog world,’ not ‘doggy-dog world.’
It’s ‘hunger pangs,’ not ‘hunger pains.’
It’s ‘one and the same,’ not ‘one in the same.’
It's 'buck naked,' not 'butt naked.'

“Shelby Oaks” is the perfect scary movie - lots of jump scares, a great lead who brings you into her terror and trauma, and beautiful and eerie cinematography. (I never thought I’d be so taken with a shot of warm breath in flashlight.) See it ASAP! #horror #shelbyoaks @neon-rated.bsky.social

Trump is playing king, and Republicans in Congress are bowing down and letting him do it.
Republicans want Democrats to let Trump continue to shut down whatever he doesn’t like and destroy our democracy.
To play along with that farce is a betrayal of the American people.

Read the banned books.
But also read the ones that could be banned. Ones from trans authors, Palestinian authors, and indigenous authors. Read the ones about black happiness and sapphic history. Read the ones from climate scientists and critical comedians. Read the romances and the horror novels.
