Soon-to-be-weekly letters against feeling absolutely hopeless about entertainment, culture, and politics, and the way art touches all of them. A little cringe, a little spice, a lot of books.
Essays, criticism, and interviews on food culture, media, and politics sent out on Monday morning. Paid subscribers receive additional posts on Fridays and have access to commenting, the recipe archive, and more.
Black Film Archive is a living register of Black films. In its current iteration, it showcases every* Black made film from 1915 to 1979 currently streaming. This newsletter serves as its blog.
A newsletter about rejiggered classics, transmasculine underpinnings of the plucky heroine, and the failure-limits of graciousness, from table manners to family estrangement.
