delphiContinuing the queer short film recs, thanks to muscle_wizard sharing this one in my last post:
An older woman with a crush on someone in her circle approaches her younger co-worker for advice on how to ask out another woman for the first time. This really got me—charming and moving at the same time.

What's Making Me Happy Today: Dandelion (2025)
Mar. 19th, 2026 07:56 pmdelphiDandelion is a very sweet short film starring Ava Lalezarzadeh as Margaret, a queer teen in the foster care system in the 1970s, and Vic Michaelis as Joyce, the volunteer trying to find her a new placement after she's kicked out of convent school. The short's a lovely standalone, but I was really happy to hear it's being made into a full-length movie!

Continuing my list of fifty Canadian songs I love from the past fifty years, how could I kick off the '80s and not go for some pulpy lesbian new wave?

march 2026 tumblr update
Mar. 17th, 2026 09:31 amnonymoshi. i don't know what's going to happen with tumblr, but let's be real, whatever doesn't become permanent this time might well get implemented next time - or something worse. because tumblr, despite the very real unique feel it has compared to twitter etc, is like everything else: a corporate website. as i scrolled down my dash feeling actually rattled about how this would impact community interaction, i found myself wishing once again for an open source website and then i remembered... it exists. it's dreamwidth. i've had an account on here for a while, and i wander back here every once in a while.
maybe this time will stick?
gonna make a last post on both my tumblr blogs for everyone to come find me. if we were mutuals or even just if we interacted often, don't hesitate to send me an invite. let's rebuild a little circle here, at least, and see what happens!

What's Making Me Happy Today: Starfleet Academy
Mar. 16th, 2026 08:02 pmdelphiThe first season of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy just wrapped up, and man, that was a season of television that did my heart good.
I didn't initially think this show was going to be for me. Hopefully it goes without saying that this wasn't for any of the range of awful reasons people have wanted to hang a grievance or grift on it. Media with protagonists in their teens and twenties just usually aren't my thing, and so while I was glad to see Trek branching out, I went in aware I wasn't the target audience and figured I'd watch an episode or two to see if any of the older characters appealed to me.
Well, they definitely did. Free-spirited, complex, centuries-old school chancellor Nahla Ake might be my favourite character I've met this year. I am in love with her. The Doctor (from Voyager) and Jett Reno (from Discovery) are both back in supporting roles with some really wonderful scenes, and Jett has a hot and hilarious Klingon/Jem'Hadar wife (Lura Thok) who is definitely worth moving across the galaxy for.
But to my surprise, I also really love the kids! Not all the moments landed for me, but I ended up legitimately invested in their coming-of-age stories and journey into becoming a little family. I don't want to spoil some of the things I loved, but I am always here for mentorship, adoptive parent-child relationships, and queer romance, and I wasn't disappointed. Add in some good solid science fiction and a lot of classic Trek optimism and belief in the work of building a better world, and this was exactly what I needed right now. My only real complaint is that it was such a short season.

Performing some traffic maintenance today

dw_maintenanceHappy Saturday!
I'm going to be doing a little maintenance today. It will likely cause a tiny interruption of service (specifically for www.dreamwidth.org) on the order of 2-3 minutes while some settings propagate. If you're on a journal page, that should still work throughout!
If it doesn't work, the rollback plan is pretty quick, I'm just toggling a setting on how traffic gets to the site. I'll update this post if something goes wrong, but don't anticipate any interruption to be longer than 10 minutes even in a rollback situation.
