Watched this for a Spanish class recently, and I think it's my favorite movie ever. The depiction of different types of love and care, as well as grief and coping and the definition of authenticity, it's so beautiful and highly recommend. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, it just felt like the movie I was searching for, where it's just inherently beautiful to be trans and queer. I love everything about it truly.
Agrado is inherently iconic and authentic, and that one scene brings me so much joy.

I had not heard of this movie prior to seeing a clip of Julia Fox pulling it in her Criterion interview, and decided randomly to watch it this morning.
It articulates such a wide and deep and complex understanding of womanhood, motherhood, loyalty, grief, and identity.
Specific praise to the cinematography and to the set design.
Highly highly highly recommend.

my favorite movie of all time, it’s the story of two boys who think they’re men searching for a beach that doesn’t exist to impress a woman who’s searching for something too, both a coming of age movie and a critique of mexican society, class and male friendships

It's an interactive and public app, so you can help others in your native language(s) while they help you with your target language. There are traditional game-type methods, but in general it works. If you're anything like me, I recommend getting a physical book and watching youtube videos while taking notes. It also depends on the language, as mentioned, and language learning strategies and success are very subjective. Good luck on your language learning journey!

it's k-pop, and I love it. It's not specifically been the best received song, but I believe it to be heavenly and I just love it.

I feel like they're so underrated, stories that are read in high school, and then never again in the future. But they work so well when you don't want to commit to a full book, but still want to read. Recently have been reading "The Best American Short Stories (2021)" that Jesmyn Ward edited.
My favorite story so far has been "The Miracle Girl" by Rita Chang-Eppig, I'll link to the review where it was published or a pdf or something, highly recommend reading it.
Okay so this is the only link I could find, but if you have a Project Muse login through a library or university/school, please please read it and rant about it to me.
