A Love Letter to Alice Wu’s “The Half Of It”

You’re as epic as the concept of love and as small as the town of Squahamish. You’re as perfect as a movie can be and as messy as a movie should be. To say it simply, I love you.

The Senior Team looks cool, smiles, hangs out around a table. Kamala and Carmen are in the foreground, Kamala grinning and Carmen looking thoughtful. Behind them, Laneia offers up some sass, Rachel a deep look, Sarah smiles behind and a slightly blurred and moving Riese laughs. The image is black and white.

Natalie Diaz Writes the Love Poem for Our Lives in “Postcolonial Love Poem”

Postcolonial Love Poem is everything the title purports it to be. It positions itself between the worlds of love and violence, and answers the question of where love can exist in a nation with a long list of atrocities, especially against Native people.

Year of Our (Audre) Lorde: April’s Arithmetics of Distance

This is dedicated to those who are just trying to make it through every day. It’s been gratifying on an almost cellular level to find that the queen mother Audre Lorde can so frequently speak to the times and places in which we find ourselves. Her final book of poetry, “The Marvelous Arithmetics of Distance,” is no exception.

Alice Wu’s “The Half Of It” Lives Up to the Hype by Fulfilling and Subverting the Expectations Set by “Saving Face”

Contemporary YA novels don’t necessarily have happy endings so much as hopeful ones, and The Half of It follows this blueprint, delicately treading the fine line between saccharine and heartfelt with skill — and a few good jokes.

One Day at a Time Showrunner Gloria Calderón Kellett on Season 4’s Pause, Elena and Syd, and Reopening Hollywood

“Watching season four episodes — the feeling of normalcy, of connection, of being able to laugh. I’m so grateful to be with our fans and live-tweet. It’s almost like Tuesdays are the only time I know what day of the week it is! I put lipstick. I feel like a real person, just to sit in the before for just a second.”
