Movies are expensive. The Growths cost 500 out of pocket, money I'm going to be paying back for some time. It was necessary to complete grad school, but it is also a financial burden.

Please help if you can! You can also paypal me [email protected]

Finished thesis but am extremely broke. I still need to pay off the costs of production. I also have bills to pay coming up.

Please help me out. I'm just trying to stay above water. I don't want to have to choose between paying rent and finishing school

Due to the low budget of the Growths and high cost of a Kickstarter campaign, I've decided to ask for funds directly.

Crowdfunding is going to launch tomorrow, and not today, because I don't want to launch while on the road.

This is the core problem with the Buttigieg "we have to find common ground" framing. The question isn't sports, it's whether trans people will be allowed to exist as trans in public. Everything else—politically and strategically—is downstream from that.

I don't write about well behaved queers.

I write about fucked up queers, sluts, trashy queers, sex workers, drug addicts, and the mentally unstable.

You write what you know, so I write my friends.

The Growths is the story of a trans woman plagued with large, painful growths that appear on her body. Growths invisible to all but herself.

But if nobody else can see the growths, how can anyone believe her pain is real?

She is a mystery she doesn't want to solve. She doesn't want to end the world. She just wants to go to the movies with her girlfriend

And she has so many names

Imagine a world where the government controls your online activity & censors what you can read & watch

Now imagine you’re a government censor searching for illicit queer fics online

You find one so good it makes you realize what you’ve been hiding from yourself all along…

Trans folks have their own art, their own culture, and their own media and every trans person contributes to that.

Honestly, I think it's beautiful.

I wrote to M&S about the stupid lingerie department story - confirms nobody offered a bra fitting to a teenage girl. The Telegraph and JK can (always) do one.

Screenshot of an email: Hi Rachel,

Thank you for contacting us about the article you’ve seen.

We want our stores to be inclusive and welcoming places for our colleagues and customers. We have written to this customer and explained that our colleagues typically work across all departments in our stores and customers can always ask to speak to the colleague they feel most comfortable with.

We also explained that our colleague was asking a customer if they needed help; they were not working on bra fit or offering this.

Thank you again for getting in touch.

I'm still so pissed about this

The thing is, the offer of a waiver for early retirement came out literally two days before the June 6 deadline. Buried in it was the warning that if it wasn't approved, it would be processed as voluntary separation

It was all just a lie to get those on the fence

WASHINGTON (AP) - US Air Force says it will deny retirement pay to transgender service members being separated from the service.

First of all, I can't be killed and will never die. Second, I want to thank everyone who spoke out on my behalf over the past day. Your support and community mean so much to me <3

I caught a 24-hour suspension. The reason Bluesky gave me for this was my wishing ill on J. K. Rowling.

And, of course, my tastes skew towards expressionism, fantasy, and gothic.

This is probably the best thing I've ever written, and if your on the fence about backing, I'm confident enough to share the screenplay.

The Growths @deadnamemovie.bsky.social · Aug 8

The Growths is a project that is very special to me. I remember @kiddocut.bsky.social describing Gender Dysphoria as being like Jeff Goldblum in the Fly and that's sorta where all of this came from initially.
