Fuck the prime directive anyway, but especially while we're subjected to active epistemicide. The more eggs you can crack, the more trans girls in the world who are informed enough & personally invested enough to resist our genocide. We can resist the cis by merely being there in growing numbers...

Hey, if you're feeling thankful for all the bounty in your life right now, it's not a bad idea to toss some coin to trans people who are struggling. (I boosted two folks that I know personally just now, but there are so many, many others on here.)

FELLOW CRITICS!
What's the best movie you saw this year that nobody else seems to be talking about?
My pick?
LISTERS: A GLIMPSE INTO EXTREME BIRDWATCHING, a great, gonzo documentary about two dudes who decide become vagabond birdwatchers for a whole year and immerse themselves in the subculture.

So glad I listened to @carlosfilm.bsky.social and saw BOYS GO TO JUPITER before the end of the year. This movie is charming as heck.

Made the mistake of looking at the comments on my WICKED: FOR GOOD review and apparently I lost all credibility when I called it a sequel.
You know, there was one film and now there's another one that takes place afterwards.
How dare I call that a sequel.

“Nobody trusts anybody now and we’re all very tired” is WAY more of a Thanksgiving vibe.
FYI: Should John Carpenter's THE THING be officially classified as a Christmas movie? Let your voice be heard!

By this time next year I bet THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE will have been officially declared a Thanksgiving movie, even though it doesn't take place on Thanksgiving, and that I'll probably be fine with it.

Well said.
On this particular day I want to say that a critic's job is to criticize art, and an artist's job is to make something that resonates with specific people, which necessarily means it won't resonate with others. If every critic liked a piece of art, one or the other of us would not be doing our jobs.
