i watched this in february and i thought this film was super interesting! i think it's a very important film for representation of black queer women (for the time period) as well as its themes of hollywood historically forgetting black actresses, friendship, and romantic relationships. there were a few aspects of the film that i didn't like, such as how cheryl (the main character) basically prioritized her relationship with diana over her friendship with tamara. but overall i think it's an important part of queer canon :)

a bunch of lesbians hanging out in the 90s and living and talking about movies and their lives; gotta be one of my favorite film genres. co-written by guinevere turner, who also stars in The Watermelon Woman, another cornerstone classic of the genre.

i feel like sometimes i buy different types of art books because of the excitement of reading through them and actually taking everything in, getting inspiration, for research.. etc. but then they lay on my shelf for months and i never get to them.
it’s silly to say this but it’s literally like browsing through pinterest or tumblr irl and even better given that they’re all specifically curated and usually offer some really cool information

yesterday i deleted my message thread with my ex. i had it archived and no reason to look at it anymore yet still found myself doing so. i think ive always wanted to keep everything of anything ever. forever. but its a step to let go completely. im learning that letting go is as important as holding on. so delete that old conversation that just sits there giving you the option to remember. you can remember other ways:) the memories wont ever be gone
