It’s the Pop Culture Fix of the week! I have a cold and am about to spend six hours writing about pubic hair lockets doped up on Nyquil. Look forward to that in your Twitter feed soon!
+ Remember that Kate Winslet paleontology movie I told you about a hundred years ago back in December? Well, it started getting attention a few weeks ago in Mary Anning’s hometown and a lot of people are not happy with the lesbian love story, including some of Anning’s family. But director Frances Lee doesn’t give a fork. (Also please meet this 11-year-old girl whose hero is Mary Anning and she’s convinced her hometown to put up a statue!)
As a working class, queer film maker, I continually explore the themes of class, gender, sexuality within my work, treating my truthful characters with utter respect and I hope giving them authentic respectful lives and relationships they deserve
