A person holds a round fan in front of a large movie screen displaying the text "MIFF Armani Beauty Cinema Club" and two stylized eyes. The audience is visible in the foreground.

Just walked out of “La Bola Negra” at MIFF. I recommend it 100%. Queer stories have always existed. What’s recent is our freedom to tell them, preserve them, and see ourselves in the lives that came before us. And at a time when that freedom feels increasingly fragile around the world, this felt especially important. Beautiful, moving, and funny too. Truly so impressed by Guitarricadelafuente — he was incredible. Penélope Cruz is absolutely brilliant too 🙂‍↕️

This queerling is the most helpful person I’ve ever met. And we met on @collective! We’d been chatting here for some time. When I landed in Toronto, they drove me from the airport to my Airbnb. They invited me to their Thursday vegan potlucks, which was a great way to meet new queers. They offered me an apartment to rent in the house they live in. I lived there all by myself. They helped me navigate Canada. And when I was sick. And many other times. And they drove me to the airport on my last day. I wouldn’t have made it without you. Thanks a billion for everything, @biscuit 🏳️‍🌈🩷
