“In Jane Austen Wrecked My Life, writer-director Laura Piani offers up a quiet triumph—an unassuming, beautifully crafted film that sneaks up on you with its emotional intelligence, wit, and charm.”🍿

Audre Lorde once said: “Without community, there is no liberation.” And I feel that deeply. Every act of kindness, every shared moment, every spark of joy, these are reminders that we’re not alone, that there’s always light to be found. 🌿💫

🍿Film Review: HELL’S HALF ACRE (1954)

Hell’s Half Acre does something particularly bold for its era: it centers fully realized, complex female characters, and gives them the emotional depth and narrative agency.

A field of zinnias behind a wood sign painted in calligraphic script: “Welcome to the Zinnia Patch.” There are zinnias painted below the lettering.

Christina stands in front of some of the bushes and holds a bouquet of zinnias

A POV shot of my flowers :) a bouquet of varied colors of zinnias: red, orange, yellow, white, and different shades of pink.

Every summer a farming family in NorCal opens up their zinnia patch for anyone to drop in and cut flowers for free. 🌼 Such a sweet idea, and it provides some pollination for their nearby crops.
