ELDEN RING Movie!

There’s this bloke by the name of Hugh Reeker who keeps slipping me German expressionist masterpieces and the occasional Hong Kong action movie.

I have a dude called Shane Less who drops round Italian cannibal movies periodically. Love that guy.

Strange man named Vinny Syndrome keeps coming to my house and showing me deeply questionable sexploitation films. I look forward to each and every visit eagerly.

Yes I'm a Brave New World enjoyer. Don't know if that's controversial but I am anyway.

Piece of Mind or, perhaps controversially, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son.

The one I listened to most as a teenager was Brave New World but unfortunately that one barely even counts as having an Eddie on the cover.

I was present for said incident as well as the time when he and his partner showed up to another protest, shouted "LGB drop the T", and then said partner immediately hit himself in the bollocks on a bollard in front of the crowd.

Thought it might be worth reminding people of those classic moments.

Thank you so much for your kind words 💖 just sucks that we have to go through things like this

my rat OC Puff carries a transgender flag in their mouth as they run forward, smiling. text reads, "if you're transgender you have to live"

if you're transgender you have to live. if you accomplish something else then good. if you accomplish nothing else then good. but you have to live

A massive thanks as ever for being a constant supporter of my work 💖

The curse of the German film lab that gave them AI upscales of movies is spreading

Thank you so much 💖

Thank you so kindly! 💖 And thoroughly agreed

Doubling down on my bullshit for the next horror short I have in the works. We're going bloodier, weirder, wackier, more political, perhaps even folksier and more niche influences-wise.

It's a gory, ghoulish state-of-the-nation horror-comedy - and I'm hoping you all enjoy it once more comes out.

Indeed - thank you so kindly.

Thank you so much, as always. Really hoping things take a turn for the better sooner rather than later.

Thank you so much - it really does mean a lot 💖

I do keep doing all this, but it's appalling. There isn't any positive final note to any of this, but I felt I should put it out there somewhere. It's the old Zora Neale Hurston quot - "If you are silent about your pain, they’ll kill you and say you enjoyed it".

I'm not really sure how I keep doing what I do, if anything, whilst there has been a clear shift in the public eye of trans people (particularly trans women) from "disturbed or freakish person" to "subhuman thing". I'm not sure how I keep on doing my assignments whilst I'm a second-class citizen.

The most common form of verbal harrassment I get is "what the fuck is that thing?" or something along those lines.

I had received harrassment before, but never at this frequency, and I find myself just having to "take" it in order to get my uni work done and live my life.

For all that I can talk about reclaiming the imagery of the monster for myself in my films and acting work, that doesn't nullify the fact that over the past year I have quickly learned just how widely dehumanised trans people have been in the public eye, especially in Britain.

There has also been a vibe shift in the past year or so of the harrassment I face, which disturbs me.

Previously, the harrassment I faced was either overtly misogynist and sexual in nature, or people shouting that I'm a man. Now, I am referred to as an "it" or "thing".

Every single person who has harrassed me or shouted abuse at me is male. Roughly 80% at least appear to be young men. Around 75% are white men, which accounts for almost all the groups of white men I walk past in Rusholme.

The risk of me facing harrassment is increased in Rusholme because of the fact that buses refuse to go through the area between certain hours of the night, which forces me to walk by myself along the main road. The state of Rusholme traffic is a whole other problem but that is a key factor.

This is not counting the variety of other issues I have faced, including harrassment on buses, 3 in 4 bus drivers refusing to stop for me when I am waiting alone, and verbal abuse I have faced in other parts of the city centre.

In case anyone's wondering about what it's like to be a trans woman in the UK right now beyond a vague idea that it is "bad", I have been subjected to transphobic verbal harrassment every time I have been on the streets of Rusholme by myself this year.

Which is practically daily.

Thank you so much - really appreciate your words, that's great stuff! And good feedback too, so many thanks for that.

In this case it was "The Estrogen Gospel", but hope you enjoy that one too!

All of my stuff has a very crusty look and feel to it but that's because I like that in a film.

Hope you enjoy (whichever of my projects you end up watching)!

However I've mentioned it on BlueSky now so I expect someone in future to say I got ragebaited or crashed out or whatever bullshit internet brainrot speak they're using nowadays on Twitter and Instagram dot com
