Self-care: Going to the movies (sort of)
If there’s any bright side to *gestures vaguely* all of this, it’s that staying at home means you can go to events without, well, going anywhere. For example, the Daily Dot’s Ana Valens attended a kink convention last weekend. And starting tomorrow, I’ll be attending Austin’s All Genders, Lifestyles, and Identities Film Festival. It won’t be same as spending hours in a dark movie theater, but it also means that anyone, anywhere can watch the festival’s 65-plus films from the comfort of their living room. So if you need a bit of self-care for the next couple of weekends, consider checking out AGLIFF—or any virtual event that suits your fancy.
