it’s not enough to be creative to become a professional filmmaker or director. it’s not enough to learn the craft of screenwriting and directing. it’s not enough to study for M.F.A in Writing or Directing. That shit means nothing when you are a woman, a deaf woman, a woman of color. the film industry is still a white man’s world, and white male tales still...

Dear CFC Community,
There are some places where people are warned never to go, known for violence, drug traffic, and poverty. For those who have not grown up in these environments we are taught to fear and/or condemn people who live there. This is not true of everyone. There are some s/heroes who “see the faces at the bottom of the well,” and offer a rope AND a...

Hi guys I’m obsessed with this shit lately because I don’t want anyone to have unhappy, unsupported boobs like I did. Even if you think your boobs and bras are fine, try it. It will make a big difference in comfort, support, and shape, even if you have small boobs or big boobs. A proper fitting bra can fix back, shoulder, and neck pain, along with breast soreness -...

Hi Tumblr, I have a problem. I’m a trans girl. And I’m a sex worker. And I need wigs. I know it doesn’t sound that serious, but I need to maintain my financial independence from my parents because they don’t want to support what they consider my “problem”. I can’t get jobs in my area because once they see me, they no longer want to hire me. (They usually find trans...
