    7 Ways to Resist This Week

    Crazy Rich Asians

    ds

    It has been 25 years since a Hollywood film with an all-Asian cast has been released. Now, Crazy Rich Asians follows The Joy Luck Club in making history. The movie follows Rachel Chu (Constance Wu) who discovers that her handsome boyfriend (Henry Golding) is actually from a "crazy rich" family in Singapore. Rachel accompanies him there as a date to a wedding. While there, she must contend with other jealous suitors, a protective mother, and class anxieties to keep her man. The supporting cast includes the hilarious Awkwafina (Oceans 8) as well as out actor Nico Santos (Superstore), who portrays a queer character. Watch Crazy Rich Asians in theaters this weekend.

    Ben Hazlewood, "Save Your Sorries"

    Ben Hazlewood, "Save Your Sorries"

    A track inspired by real-life events, Ben Hazlewood takes on a violent attack he endured. "The hurt cuts deep to the bone and I have carried these scars for far too long. 'Save Your Sorries' is a confronting release of anger through vengeance," he told Clash. "It's chilling yet embodies an empowering, gratifying feeling. Instead of acting out my rage I try to channel pain through music where I can express and release my real emotions. This song is closure, no longer holding me back, metaphorically killing the beast that haunts me." Watch the music video below.

    We The Animals

    ewf

    Based on the beloved queer novel by Justin Torres, We the Animals is a moving coming-of-age that has been called "this year's Moonlight." It centers on Jonah, who turns 10 at the film's onset, and his tumultuous journey coming to terms with his sexuality and masculinity in a mixed white and Puerto Rican household in upstate New York. It is loosely inspired by life events experienced by Torres and his family. Watch the trailer below, and see We the Animals this weekend.

    The Donald J. Trump Presidential Twitter Library

    The Donald J. Trump Presidential Twitter Library

    We all know that Twitter is Donald Trump's favorite mode of communication. We also know that his tweets are often not only ungrammatical but unhinged. Trevor Noah and the staff at The Daily Show skewer Trump's tweets hilariously in The Donald J. Trump Presidential Twitter Library, now in bookstores. In his introduction, Noah advises, "Please read these tweets in the spirit in which they were composed, with an open heart and with legs straddling the toilet of their choice." You might want to grab a cup of covfefe too. Presidential historian Jon Meacham, who is definitely not a low IQ person, contributes a foreword. Order here or visit your favorite bookseller.

    Joey Suarez, “Dancing by Myself”

    Joey Suarez, \u201cDancing by Myself\u201d

    Gay Latino pop star Joey Suarez's new song is everything we hoped it'd be. His work has strong pop elements and an emotional core. Unapologetically out and bold, his first music video leaves everything on the table. A preview of "Dancing by Myself" can be viewed below and will be available in full to subscribers of the queer streaming service Revry.
