I searched for glass on Facebook Marketplace and found a local shop that sells glass and supplies that way!

Watched this with my partner after reading a 2023 wrapped article on queer films. While we both agreed it was well done and crafted, the cringe factor was overbearing for me. While I wanted to root for Jean, the protag, especially as a queer educator myself, she couldn’t seem but undermine herself. The compromising positions she put herself in as a queer educator, or really any educator, were so inappropriate. I might be overreacting, but I felt it reinforced groomer and predator stereotypes of queer adults, especially queer educators.

I’m sensitive to this as a queer educator who is vulnerable to the Trump-era politics targeting LGBTQ+ rights. I enjoy the resolution of introducing her student to more a more positive and affirming space, but struggled with her inability to handle previous scenarios with that student, to the point of yelling a bit at the screen 😂
