Almost every essay we publish is at least that long, often longer. People still enjoy deep reading & are looking for a good excuse to immerse themselves in something worthwhile—especially in a clickbait economy/world. Clickbait articles are cheetos & some of us still prefer a well-prepared meal 🤷‍♂️

Berlinale Stunner "Narciso" Delves Into Sex, Rock n’ Roll, and Politics "Narciso" is a timeless, quietly powerful film that meets the moment in tying the past with the present through the power of sound.

I had the great pleasure to cover the world premiere of NARCISO at the #Berlinale for Latina Media. A unique, important film and rare look into queer #latino history. And it just won the FIPRESCI Jury award!

Hollywood didn't make The Fifth Element thankfully - French studio Gaumont produced it, so who knows what's possible :)

Thank you very much 😊

The Fifth Element (1997): An Aria for Humanity The Fifth Element is a space opera deserving of the name, a deeply humanist work, and a cinematic poem to human paradox delivered through the power of music.

#MikhailShaidorov just won Olympic #iceskating gold to "The Diva Dance" from the Fifth Element, that made me so happy! I got to write about this incredible piece of music for @brightwalldarkroom.com if you'd like to know more :) #Olympics2026

The Things I Thought and Did Not Say While Writing For a Content-Mill In 1996, Jerry Maguire was laughed out of his office for publishing a company-wide memo encouraging his industry to take a more human approach.

"30 articles per month. If you did this, and only this, for a whole year, you would make $12,240 off of 360,000 words of published material."

Jesus, man.

Thank you for the rec, it looks marvellous!

How the Music of "Wednesday" Sets Its Macabre and Mexican Spirit The eerie score deserves more credit for making "Wednesday" a success – the music selections and mystery-tinged covers make the show pop.

Super stoked I got to write about the musical story telling and the defining Mexican influence on the Addams Family in WEDNESDAY - season 2 soon streaming on

I finally have "Not Your Papi's Utopia" in my hands, a book I'm so proud to be part of! In our dystopian times I hope it can inspire some hope and challenge the power systems that want us to believe they are eternal.

Also this week @thesicktimes.bsky.social: People often ask me why/how I got into covering Long COVID, as someone who doesn't have as much a personal connection to the disease as other journalists in this space. This essay is my answer. thesicktimes.org/2025/03/25/l...
