Shiva Baby Wasn’t My Queer Story — and That’s Totally Fine

“I know and love many Danielle-esque people — but she is not me. Instead, she is the projection many people have of me solely based on my identity.”

“The Retreat” Is a New Kind of Lesbian Horror, Full of Catharsis and Dykey Swagger

Despite the real-life horrors queer women face, horror cinema has largely shown queer women as predators. The Retreat attempts to change that.

I Still Can’t Believe Marvel’s Never Heard of Bisexuality

Captain Marvel is so gay the writers had to add a line of dialogue to try to convince the audience Maria and Carol slept in different rooms. You know, on account of the house they shared and the daughter they were raising together.

It’s Your Anniversary: The Craft Was a ’90s Guide to Reclaiming My Power

“Watching this fierce pack of teenage girls punish those that harmed them resonated with me. I too sought catharsis for the trauma that I’d endured — I began to realize that forgiveness was not a requirement of me.”

This poster reads, "The Future of Comedy is Female. An FX Original Documentary. Hysterical." It features illustrations of well-known female comedians against a teal background.
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.

“Together Together” Review: Patti Harrison Can Do Anything — Even Give Birth

Ultimately, the film shows that the differences between cis people and trans people aren’t as vast as we usually think. There are many ways to make a family and the more expansive our imaginations the more everyone will benefit.

“Barb & Star Go to Vista Del Mar” Is a Bananapants Brain Vacation and You Deserve It

It’s like spending 90 minutes inside a fever dream a Kristin Wiig ’80s sketch character might have if she got high inside some kind of Mars Cheese Castle/Dylan’s Candy Bar co-op. And I loved it.
