in the present, we, too struggle to be afforded space and visibility. we've had a remarkable few years of queer horror. 'I Saw the TV Glow' and 'Huesera' vaulted to my list of all time favorites, and there are many other good ones too.

will that continue? are financiers going to suddenly fall in line with the new far right agenda, and become suddenly cowardly when approached by filmmakers? will Michelle Garza Cervera even be allowed to make a second film after 'Huesera'? it remains to be seen how, exactly, things will go.

outside the various insulating mythologies we have, experiencing media critically becomes a different process. it's defined by a detailed landscape of happenstance and cultural particulars. i find i'm less interested in broad generalizations, and more interested in understanding this.

Important questions. Love to hear thoughtful thoughts as we engage with media. Perhaps meanwhile, it is, simultaneously throughout time, the best of times, and the worst of times, and in fact the same as now. But, depressingly, I'd really like to think better times are possible. ☀️

i would like to think that too! certainly one other constant is that people really can effect change, and that pockets of people creating an alternative can influence the central line.
