“Pose” Episodes 301 & 302 Recaps: Coming Home One More Time

Pose has always felt like home; family. So I started this episode in my bedroom, with my roommates who, in true queer tradition, are my family. I thought it was going to feel like it did, two years ago, but it didn’t. I don’t know if it’s the show or me that’s changed, probably both.

Movie Reviews

“Hysterical” Focuses Almost Exclusively on Cis White Women in Comedy, and Misses the Mark

Hysterical operates under the assumption that the experiences of women in comedy are universal. But in a documentary that overwhelmingly features white cis women, there’s little room left to explore what comedy is like for women who hold multiple marginalized identities.
