Transformational Girls Like Girls sings a proud song of acceptance
The list of good films — let alone great ones — based on or inspired by memorable songs is short. Earth Girls Are Easy? Maybe. Alice’s Restaurant? I might give you that one — it’s quirky and weird. Love Potion No. 9? Absolutely not, and I’d be ashamed if it were brought up. Harper Valley P.T.A.? Great, now I’m ashamed of myself for mentioning it at all. Seriously, though, it’s not a great group to be in. Sam Peckinpah’s 1978 trucker action-drama Convoy, with a brooding Kris Kristofferson, might be the best

Summertime Sapphic joy: The director and stars of Girls Like Girls on their Lesbian coming-of-age marvel
I can’t say Girls Like Girls is the most original Lesbian coming-of-age melodrama I’ve ever seen. There are elements reminiscent of everything from Desert Hearts to Water Lilies — and, you know what? Who cares. I certainly don’t. Writer and director Hayley Kiyoko has taken her hit 2015 pop song and music video and transformed them into something truly special: a delicately lithe and empathetic sojourn into summertime love that held me spellbound. The film was a true joy to behold, and it features a revelato

The armor we choose: A short story based on the series The Lost Years
Harsh fluorescent tubes buzzed an unrelenting 60-hertz hum against the drop-ceiling of Cloud Medical Center. Midnight in the emergency room offered no reprieve. Scrubbing her raw hands with antibacterial foam, 27-year-old surgical resident Iris Min stared at the stainless-steel basin. The water ran hot enough to scald. Bracing her forearms against the sink’s edge, she ignored the leaden ache anchoring her lumbar spine. Her father’s timeline demanded absolute perfection. Promotion to attending physician by a

D.W. Hamilton delivers a delightful mystery novel complete with poetry and spells
The subtitle of D.W. Hamilton’s compelling, surrealist debut novel tells us that it is a supernatural murder mystery, and the cover notes that it contains 23 poems and 6 spells. Those few hints, along with the cover art. might be enough to draw you in, but the author’s foreword, explaining how he deliberately mixes surrealism into a mystery genre novel, should give you a pretty good idea of what’s to come. And Hamilton delivers. The (frankly terrific) poems serve as introductions to each chapter, and the sp

Queer zines making a comeback in Seattle; A history of counterculture, connection, and liberation
Before social media and the internet dominated nearly every facet of modern life, Queer people had very few outlets to express themselves authentically. In the realm of print media, there weren’t many public forums in which to discuss queerness besides the SGN and other LGBTQIA+ publications (that had op-ed and classified sections). Today, in line with Gen Z’s emerging neo-luddite movement, many younger Queer and Trans people are turning away from algorithmically curated and monitored digital spaces (that a

A dreamy season at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival
Dreams are central to four outstanding productions of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival (OSF) 2026 season, out of the seven I attended. For Shakespeare’s joyful comedy A Midsummer Night’s Dream, no explanation is needed. The epigraph chosen by Lorraine Hansberry for her stunning drama A Raisin in the Sun is Langston Hughes’ poem “What happens to a dream deferred?” The dreams and fantasies of a man dying of cancer — and trying to make an impact on climate change in the short time remaining to him — bring life
