I’M THEM!

Because nonbinary people will have really made it when the cursed For Hims/For Hers company makes a cursed For Thems branch

A man sits on his bed, wearing pajamas. His head has been replaced by the Muppet Gonzo's head.

This is Them.

I’m Them.

Today, they really feel like Them.

I’m Them!

But they didn’t always.

am i even them?

So they went to thems dot com and got treatment prescribed and sent right to their door. Now, every day, they feel like Them.

I’m Them!!

Find trusted treatment and start feeling like them.

I’m THEM!!!!

DO AS I DO

A little sampling of things I’ve enjoyed recently.

Tessa Thompson as Hedda at a party, her gloved hand fiddling with a necklace.

Hedda

A movie for the theatre bitches (it’s me, I’m the theatre bitches), this adaptation of Ibsen’s play has some exciting updates that might make it hit harder for a contemporary audience. It’s also (basically) a single location, which is perfect for ratcheting up tension. And Tessa Thompson is in it, giving us everything.

Sports Movies That Don't Suck logo featuring various sports objects.

This podcast is genuinely a delight (YES I’m biased, YES it’s still true), even if you haven’t seen the movies and even if you’re uncertain or weird about Sports (TM). Featuring funny and knowledgeable people chatting about the movies they like and what makes them work.
