it's a documentary about ballroom culture in 80s nyc. i like a lot of movies, but paris is buring is one of maybe 2 or 3 movies that i can say genuinely changed my life. for movies, i would say aftersun and the florida project. but paris is burning is a must see for everybody everywhere ever

an incredible film !!!
black queer history is FULL of forgotten legends who have shaped mainstream culture and continue to have a lasting impact on fashion, language, art & performance. โจParis Is Burning immortalises and preserves the legacy and the stories of the people featured in this film along with the spaces, community and families they created for themselves in a society that consistently marginalised and discriminated against them.

god i donโt even know where to start. these folk were so free in a time where queerness wasnโt as widely accepted. reminds me to live life to my fullest and be grateful for those who have laid down the groundwork for us to live the way we can now.

not an obsure one by any means but truly my favorite movie of all time. means a lot to me/my philosophy personally as someone working in the education/human services field, as a reminder to constantly take on different perspectives and see the Life in everyone/everything
within the same vein is Maid on netflix. also not obsure but deals with similar subject matter and is just a beautiful show. will never not tug on something within me

we're losing the holy war to virgins and wattpaders. males would rather spend an evening watching sissy hypno jois than fucking a real life woman. lesbian cinema has been plagued by the yearndemic as if hollywood can't imagine two women wanting to go at it nasty style. all the fasion forcasters are saying oversized utilitarian shlop is in for 2025. dating apps practically let you mail order cock to your house and yet we're fucking less than ever. what the fuck is going on? when reagan was in office robert mapplethorpe taking photos of a guy in a gimp suit with a cum guzzling tube coming from his mouth. we need that back. i think latex is one of the few materials that trancends the digital hellscape we're living in right now. it engages the senses. you can look at a photo of someone wearing latex and know exactly what it smells like and tastes like and feels like. it's the closest one can get to nudity while being fully clothed. it tantalizes because it relies so heavily on implication. in an era where you can get on the internet and view 4k photos of body parts the victorians only saw after a decade of marriage, latex delays gratification by forcing the observer to fill in the blanks. the people in office are trying to scrub the earth of anything they find perverse and replace artists with thieving robots who only work because of the centuries of human creativity that came before them. fantasy is one of the only things unique to human sexuality. we need to be reveling in it, not supressing it!!!
