i love letterboxd because there are so many lists that cater to very specific, yet somehow universal moods. here are my favorites:

120 lesbian films to watch before saying all lesbian cinema is the same

the absolute beauty in everyday’s mundanity

add spice to your romance

autumnal harvest - movies that give you that warm feeling of fall and its surroundings

befriending the lyrical loneliness…

candy cinema

chaos, loneliness, madness, and desapair in the apathetic world of capitalism

crises of childhood

distinctive films that fill the void when you’re lonely or completely destroy you when you’re happy

film recs: female character studies

films that are kind

girlhood

horror as a vehicle

melancholy as a breathtaking aesthetic emotion

movies where female friendships are the scariest concept on earth

“nothing happens” yeah but the vibes

quiet little female character studies

quietly brilliant

snuggly wuggly flicks for anxiety driven chicks

soft horror

two lost souls find comfort

what we talk about when we talk about love

If this little book should see the light after its 100 years of entombment, I would like its readers to know that the author was a lover of her own sex and devoted the best years of her life in striving for the political equality and social and moral elevation of women.

“The Great Geysers of California” by Laura De Force Gordon, 1879, unearthed from a 100-year-old time capsule in San Francisco, 1979.

“Wouldn’t it be wonderful if all our letters could be published in the future in a more enlightened time. Then all the world could see how in love we are.”

Gordon Bowsher to Gilbert Bradley, 1940s

I sit with my grief. I mother it. I hold its small, hot hand. I don’t say, shhh. I don’t say, it's okay. I wait until it is done having feelings. Then we stand and we go wash the dishes.

-- Callista Buchen, from Taking Care
