The Kiss (1882) by Eadweard Muybridge
Unearthed in 2011, this short video created by cinema pioneer Eadweard Muybridge of a kiss between two women is the first kiss ever in the history of moving image, predating Edison's "The Kiss" by over a decade.
FRANKENSTEIN dir. James Whale, 1931
BE MY VICTIM
i've been feeling incredible anger and frustration lately with these posts lamenting what the next four years will look like in the u.s., how much "worse" things will get under the trump administration, as if we haven't been witnessing a holocaust for the past year funded by the biden administration. if you have seen a single video from gaza, a single picture, read a feature from a gazan journalist, spoken to a single person in your inbox when they plead for your attention and help, words like "worse" or "better" turn to ash in your mouth. just yesterday my friend hilda texted me that even when her family manages to get food, smoke from the fire needed to cook aggravates her sinus allergies, making it difficult to breathe. this is how she's been living for the past year and a month, under a democrat-funded genocide.
below is a small fraction of the palestinians who have reached out to me for help with their campaigns. it is a huge source of shame to me that i can't keep up with all of the people in my inbox. please go to their accounts and read their stories. and please give what you can spare.

*ALL CAMPAIGNS ARE VETTED*
i'm turning off replies on this post because they are becoming cluttered with the same dull, repetitive, nonsensical arguments. one person said that my friend would die under trump whereas under biden she only couldn't breathe (????)--when, by the most conservative estimates, 43,469 palestinians have been murdered in gaza in the past year. multiple people also made statements that are easily disproven--that there are no active us troops in palestine under biden; that domestic protesters have not already been met with militarized state violence (countless times!! i have!!). surely you can see how insulting it is to see outrage and grief appear only now.

„My coven is Claudia.“
“I really did live and breathe Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I cared about Buffy more than I cared about my real life. And just having that consistency — when I was, like, 10, I watched the first season of that show while it aired, and was with it for seven years. And it was such a tool of dissociation for me. It was, in hindsight, I think, very much a coping mechanism for not being able to form the kinds of deep romantic relationships that other people can form when they’re an adolescent in the right body. I wasn’t in a place where I could open myself up to people, but here was this show that was so emotional, that I could have this relationship with.” -Jane Schoenbrun
