so he calls me up and he’s like, “i need my cfo” and i’m like, i just, i mean this is exhausting, you know, like, we are never getting back together like, ever

for people who aren’t femme it can be hard to understand the difference between presenting femininely and being femme. i know i didn’t get it, for a long time. i didn’t get it until i really started looking into it, until i started learning about butch/femme culture, until i realized how right it felt for me to be a part of that.

being femme is so much more than the way i keep my hair or the clothes i wear. it doesn’t matter that i love dresses or that i have long hair or that i spend an hour on makeup every day. those things don’t make me femme, and you don’t have to do any of them to be femme. it’s the way that i do those things – explicitly for women. it’s taking all the things i’ve been told my whole life that i’m doing for men and saying “no, fuck you.” it’s yelling, even with my lipstick on and my heels pinching my toes, that none of this is for them, that it never has been, that it never will be.

it’s giving myself the space to be exactly who i feel comfortable being – it’s taking care of other women, other lesbians, it’s keeping my hands soft and my heart softer so i can hold them better. the way i perform my gender is writing a love letter every day to butch/femme culture and knowing that it’s writing back. that it’s keeping a place for all of us to come home to, if that’s where we decide we want to be. 

it’s finding the place where i belong. butch/femme culture is so beautiful and i’m so blessed to have found a home in it, and through it to have found a home in myself.

Wow, what I wouldn’t give to get lost in these libraries…

This was an attempt to make a love letter to New York and imbue each neighborhood and every single shot with a feeling of New York—something that you could feel bouncing onto our characters and realize that it was tangible.

There are things that tie them to a place, very much like they do us. Some remain tethered to a patch of land. A time and date. The spilling of blood. A terrible crime. But there are others. Others that hold onto an emotion. A drive. Loss. Revenge. Or love. Those, they never go away.
