Sharing the link to and info re a friend's short film and the international queer women of color film festival:

I guess when things seem overwhemingly hopeless and dark, outside & inside, I try to remember that I might feel small and helpless but the ripple of 'small' acts and a commitment to what I believe in and can do could help to change hearts, minds - both mine and others... maybe 1 day even the world 🕊

Cheers @groomb.bsky.social 🍻. A present for my mum who was in fact 'made in Manchester'and a proud mancunian if not so proud of the recent reds performances 😀... having a sneaky peak with my guiness in recognition of the ancestors' journey over the sea ☘️. Thanks!
