Something Good – Negro Kiss is a short film from 1898 of a couple kissing and holding hands. It is believed to depict the earliest on-screen kiss involving African Americans and is known for departing from the prevalent and purely stereotypical presentation of racist caricature in popular culture at the time it was made.

“There seemed to be something a lot more intimate and having more to do with self-presentation. And that’s unlike anything I had seen from that period when all moving picture images of African Americans were through a white lens and are distortions, misrepresentations, or pseudo anthropological. And this is none of that.”

There’s this feeling I sometimes get watching humans do the cool things that humans have been doing for thousands of years. It makes my chest expand and my heart thud and I love it. I love this.

It’s so insane to me that 2013 was a decade ago cause like, I don’t remember much of my childhood. It’s not a trauma response I think it’s an adhd thing or something along those lines but regardless I remember very little from before middle school outside of the most formative events. 2013 was around eighth grade for me. That’s when I start remembering more things. So that’s what I associate with 2013, the fact it’s almost a baseline where my memories start.
