Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of the CU Boulder's 2016 TRANSforming Gender Conference.

This thread discusses some of the themes of the conference, such as gender in society; HIV and trans communities; the health risks of marginalization; trans people of color; the need to work for equality for everybody; activism and self-love; what inspires activists; trans and queer couples; trans and undocumented people; being genderqueer; and coming out to families.

The thread also mentions people like Nevaeh Anderson, CeCe McDonald, Jenicet Gutierrez, Tiq and Kim Milan, Rebecca Dunham, and Izzy Ahee.

UCCS's Downtown Gallery of Contemporary Art is a really surprising and fun art space. My Twitter thread about the show Bright Young Things includes photos of work by Daisy Patton, Megan Gafford, Matthew Harris, and Caitlin Goebel.

6/25/15 review of Tiel Lundy lecture on Busby Berkeley's Gold Diggers series

Here is my Twitter thread review of a lecture done on Busby Berkeley's Gold Diggers series of films at the Denver Film Society.

Over the past few years, University of Colorado film professor Tiel Lundy has visited Denver Film Society to give fun lectures on a number of subjects, most often linked to issues about fashion or sexuality, and the changing contexts of fashion and sexuality, in film. This Twitter thread discusses some of those aspects in the Busby Berkeley Gold Diggers series.

Here is the trailer for Gold Diggers of 1933.

Here is the trailer for Gold Diggers of 1935.

Here is the trailer for Gold Diggers of 1937.

As I mentioned, I saw this lecture at Denver Film Society, a great movie house in Denver, Colorado.
