this movie knocked the wind out of me. its Sadiq’s first feature yet it never feels lacking as a result of that fact. visually gorgeous and emotionally devastating, the film centers around 3 characters. each of them are struggling under a patriarchy that refuses to make room for them. it completely resonated with me, and i have a feeling it will for you as well.

This movie is not only visually stunning & engaging but so heart wrenching. It covers dysfunctional family dynamics & the complexities of mental illness in a way that i’ve never seen before. The symbolism in this film is to die for. Definitely a tough watch but I couldn’t get it out of my head for weeks. You’ll either love it or hate it.

This incredibly special film will challenge and comfort you: it will place the spectre of death on your shoulder and shoo away any worries you had about it being there. It’s full of beautiful images, but the most lasting are the ones that transcend the screen. I’ve not had a cinema experience like it

today i volunteered to cook and distribute with food not bombs, an org that’s been around since the 80s. they got their start doing anti war protests in massachusetts + giving out vegan meals to those in need and now there are chapters everywhere !!! look them up to see if they’re operating in your area. i just happened upon them last week in the park and asked how to get involved then i got added to a group chat :) everyone was super welcoming it was a really great atmosphere and it felt super rewarding to help out. you don’t have to cook they’ve got other sorts of jobs too if you’re not super into cutting vegetables all day :3

during covid i started a personal newsletter just amongst me and some pals of mine and iv been doing it ever since. it mostly consists of digital collages - just a whole bunch of images iv been looking at and blocks of text iv been reading layered on top of one another… sometimes i‘ll throw in a little comic i drew :) it’s fun !

this only works if it's a party you didn't want to go to in the first place so you are immune to fomo... there's something special about just staying at home and smoking and playing your music aloud on the speaker without having to worry about curating songs that make you seem like less of a ridiculous person...
