It makes me really happy to see our festival laurels on other people's films and posters, and not just because I came up with the design. I'm not really sure I can explain why. I always get a little burst of pride and feel all warm when it happens though.

In Berlin for a long weekend. I have the idea that any park can be a cruising area after dark.
Now that I'm sitting in a park, I'm beginning to wonder if that's true. It's not dark for a couple hours, so let's see later if this is the case.
Wish me luck.

Aristotle was actually right, there is such a thing as "natural slaves".
Today we call them "conservatives", and they will do anything they can to turn themselves into docile servants to anyone with wealth and power.

Censorship doesn’t just ban content—it increases surveillance. We’ve seen it before: obscenity laws justified raids, bans on sex work enabled policing of marginalized people, and now anti-porn measures push for monitoring online activity. Who gets watched/ punished? It’s never just about porn.

The most slept on argument against "porn addiction" being real is ... actual pornographers.
People who work in the industry around porn all day, every day. And you could not find a group that is more blasé about it.

“Porn” is a public good.
“Porn” is the sign of a healthy, open society.
“Porn” is record of the diversity of sexual expression.
“Porn” brings people joy, access to parts of themselves that they may not have another way to express.
It’s worth defending on its own.

Name change application finally accepted. 7th time's a charm.
Let's see if the process will be finished fast enough that I'll also be able to get an updated birth certificate. At least I had the good luck to be born in California.

I feel this. About to submit my 7th -- yes, you read that right -- attempt at changing my name in California. Beginning to be quite skeptical, and trying not to worry that they'll decide not to change my birth certificate.
Am a big body, mostly water. That counts, right?

Festival was so good. I'm so tired! Loads of really positive feedback from attendees, some nice messages and offers of collaboration afterwards. Festival drop is a real thing.
Thanks to everyone who jumped in to help out! Wouldn't have been possible without all the generous offers to help.❤️

when trans & queer people are 🤏 this close to being deemed “pornographic” by the government AND a bill was just introduced to ban all porn and their workers via Project 2025…
if you’re anti-porn, you’re anti-queer. I do not trust you.

Porn isn’t a replacement for sex ed, but it will be part of how many people learn about sex. The answer isn’t banning it—it’s making sure people understand what’s real, what’s ethical, and how to think critically about what they see.

Excited more than nervous, I can see the ends tying themselves up. It's gonna be so good. I'm sure it'll go quickly and seem busy the whole time, but it's gonna be amazing.

TOP SECRET is one of the short films that touches on how to re/place sexuality when faced with the constant threat of gentrification, "cleaning up" and subsequent desexualization of cities and public spaces.
Whose public spaces?
