i’m reading dykes to watch out for for the first time and i got a little emotional over how lesbians really have been the same for decades, in a sweet way and also in an obxious way - useless infighting with academic jargon really has us beat

When I think about ‘my tastes’ in an expansive way, I think the common thread is explorations of femme-ness— living as a woman, being perceived as a woman, experiencing girlhood, existing as a woman within (or really under) masculine cultures/political structures/households etc. I often joke to my friends that I don’t read male authors because I don’t want a tourists guide, but I do find that almost all of the art I enjoy is women’s work.
Favorite artists: Faith Ringold, Camille Claudel, Artemisia Gentileschi, Claudette Johnson
Favorite poets/writers/authors: Maggie O’Farrell, Ada Lìmon, bell hooks, Charlotte Brontë, Valeria Luiselli
Favorite directors: Celine Sciamma, Kelly Reichardt, Celine Song, Sarah Polley, Greta Gerwig
Favorite films: Petite Maman, The Worst Person In The World, Frances Ha, Ladybird
Outside of the art I consume, I think my life is very oriented around womanhood— my apartment is overtly a woman’s house, my closest friends are women, the ways that I exercise and cook and dress are all intentionally oriented around my woman’s body and it’s cycles and needs but also the expression of being a woman, like not just a human person but a Woman, in the way that bell hooks and Virginia Woolf write about.

told to me by a friend from high school who I had just reconnected with while hanging out with some other hometown friends over the holidays. I was kinda taken aback by how specific it was of her to say haha, kind of the long way of saying that i’m just one of the girlies. i’ll take it tho 💅🏻

something about lenu and lila from the neapolitan novels and the girl, so confusing remix with lorde and the friend group from the new season of the white lotus and frances and bobbi from conversations with friends and the narrator and reva from my year of rest and relaxation and nel and sula from sula and so forth

to david lynch has me bawling over my morning coffee.
“his love for me and mine for him came out of the cosmic fate of two people who saw the best things about themselves in each other.
i will miss him more than the limits of my language can tell and my heart can bear.”
