The Growths

Define "Perfect Ending."

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.

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

A first look at "The Growths" (no Audio Edit).

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?

A promo image for The Amelia Temple Series by Vivian Moira Valentine. It features a drawing of Amelia by M. M. Rees. Amelia is a serious young woman with dark hair in a pony tail, staring at the viewer with a stern expression. She is wearing a simple gray A-line dress with a white Peter Pan collar. Text at the top: The Amelia Temple Series. Gay Nancy Drew meets The X-Files with a touch of Cthulhu Text on the left side, in a column: Subject 19. The Opener of the Way. The Gate That Is The Guide. That Thing On The Top Floor. Teshu Ung Maya. Amelia Temple.

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

Meet her in Beneath Strange Lights, rated 4.37🌟 on Goodreads!

The Growths is equal parts Body Horror and Dark Fantasy. It puts trans women in front of and behind the camera, telling a story for a transgender audience.

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.

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 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.

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

See i don't trust anyone who DOESN'T wish I'll upon JK Rowling at this point.

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 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.

I don't understand people who have limited taste. I want to watch goofy children's films like Kpop Demon Hunters and strange art films like Wavelength.

Art is wonderful, regardless of genre and its target audience.

Announcing: THE GROWTHS!

Eris, a thirty year old trans woman, finds large growths on her body. Growths that erupt into plant-like vines that appear invisible to all others.

But if the Growths cannot be seen, how can anyone believe her suffering is anything but a figment of her imagination?

YES
