this is what it looks like when people get together in a room and share stories. thankful for this 10-week screenwriting workshop rooted in decolonization, led by @indigoimpact. my brain kept quietly imploding and then putting itself back together, feeling more raw than ever, completely stripped of its conditioning. we read scripts, we told stories aloud, and we shared screenplays. i scribbled down variations of this quote repeatedly: "decolonization is not how to get you to the past, it's how to get you to the new." here's to more reading, writing, listening, and creating towards the new. #radicalstorytelling #healthyrealism #socialdeath #afropessimism #feminism #kathleencollins #amilcarcabral #andrebazin #franzfanon #eleanoraduse #yokoono #nscottmomaday #kimberlécrenshaw #houhsiaohsien

all the adoptee films plzz... thank you #tammychu for creating RESILIENCE (2012) one of the first docs to show a relationship beyond reunion + thank you to @nichka01 for finding this hard to find gem 🕵🏻‍♀️ #adopteelove ... PS: looking for a janky in-progress catalog of korean adoptee films/podcasts? TA DA! [link in bio] my heart is happy seeing these collected in one place, esp the more recent/accessible stuff - other films to add? ... FYI: one of my fav films by French adoptee #ounielecomte titled Brand New Life is currently on amazon prime, highly recommend #BYOtissues
kept reaching for this one on my book pile, mostly bc the cover shimmers. i received this as one of those great gifts selected specifically for you w no attached hype or prior research, just a hunch you may enjoy. highly recommend for anyone into pop academic & synthesis galore: "[Shirley] Jackson's uncanny portraits of the fragmentation and collapse of the female psyche echo throughout contemporary culture, from the casual derision we lavish on all things female or feminine to the so-called fairy-tale marriages we celebrate in the pages of magazines, the ones that are later revealed to be nightmares. The chilling seven-thousand-word letter a sexual assault victim wrote to her Stanford attacker in 2016 (which quickly went viral) reads like a Jackson novel in miniature, in which darkness subsumes former innocence. By the end, we hear echoes of the last, haunting line of 'The Lottery': 'And then they were upon her.'" ... "In order to understand how women land at the point where their desires are treated as utterly beside the point, it's important to zoom in on that moment when the ingenue first enter the haunted house... To be a girl again! for those of us who retain some sense memory of twirling and hearing others coo, spotting the word "girl" in every other title these days (Girls, Gone Girl, 2 Broke Girls, The Girl on the Train, The Girl Before, New Girl, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, to name just a few) can bring on a faintly nostalgic twinge. Or is it a shudder?" -Heather Harvilesky #bookclub #shirleyjackson
