Over the past couple weeks, I’ve watched forty features and the first two episodes of a TV show. Yes, forty. Consider this list a reference, a collection of short reviews for the rest of the year’s buzzed about films and films that should be buzzed about.

How to stand up to straight people wedding expectations, deal with disappointment around a potential sperm donor, decide whether or not to cut off given family, know whether you should ask your ex-boss out, and more!

Dolly Parton loving Lil Nas X is all of us gay aunts loving Lil Nas X, Phoebe Bridgers is getting sued, Remember Britney not just for her tragedy but as the Pop Queen she is, and Happy National Coffee Day.

Plus updates on Burden of Truth, The Republic of Sarah, and Motherland: Fort Salem.

At my Catholic all-girls middle school, I liked to tell people I was Buddhist. It was my feeble attempt at preteen rebellion. I enjoyed interjecting, “Oh yeah? Well, I don’t believe Jesus was real because I’m Buddhist!”

Every other week, I’ll run my metal detector over the literary internet, dig up whatever beeps, and present to you my findings.

“I would follow Kehlani to Narnia, to a gambling ring. Really to anywhere.”

Career anxiety, dating after sexaul assault, consent and polyamory and more!

Any movie in which sisters reunite to kill bad boyfriends feels like Christmas to me, okay?

New seasons of Star Trek Discovery, Dickinson and Gentefied; a super-queer comedy series about a gender-fluid Pakistani nanny/baritsa, a star-studded thriller about a girl’s soccer team and so much more to anticipate!

“I never really wanted to move in there and be like, “Hey son,” you know? That’s my stepdad voice.”

It’s Halloween in Lesbian Los Angeles and nobody is respecting how cute Sophie’s costume is! Also Dani’s rebounding with her Bad Friend, Micah’s getting parenting advice from a REALLY SPECIAL GUEST STAR, Alice and Taylor are having a spooky night in and Ivy’s waiting out back in her car for Shane, so….

Not like you NEED a need backstory to enjoy Sara Ramirez strutting around in a suit. 

Carrie gets a new hip, Charlotte’s kid gets a new name, and Miranda gets some gay sex.

It sounds so dysfunctional and absurd that yes — I would indeed like to see it. I don’t come to the Housewives for tales of true love, I come to see the unexpected.

Welcome to 2023, which promises to be yet another spectacular year for feminist and queer books. This winter is only the beginning!

Fabiola’s story taps into a real dynamic in queer communities, but “Never Have I Ever” couldn’t bring itself to actually identify the problem for what it truly is: racism.

Ah, bodies. These sacks of meat, bones and skin that we must drag around until we come up with a better way to get through this thing called life. We knew we needed to dig into this and who better to do it with than the one and only Samantha Irby?

One thing you have in common with every contestant on the classic CBS reality television competition program Survivor is that you are not pregnant.

Four More Shots Please wants to broach serious issues relating to gender and sexuality but puts in no work to actually address them in any kind of meaningful way and opts for superficial declarations of feminism, instead.
