Will & Harper 2024
me and my bestie two queers driving across canada to move to montreal and facing the trials and tribulations of trying to survive the stretch around lake superior in ontario where it’s a two-lane highway and the speed limit is 90km/h and there’s construction every 20km and all you can see is that damn lake or orange construction cones or the back of the same fucking car you’ve been stuck behind for thirty minutes

All of Us Strangers 2023
understands that queerness is equally found in the memories that form our scars and the hands that trace them. to navigate spaces with a spectral orientation. unimaginable kindness in seeing one another as part of history that survives, and grieves, and imagines. in finding grace and dignity in the absence of. there’s something so miraculous here that it feels overwhelming to even try to put into words. simply remarkable.

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End 2007
