Dead Name

A Transgender Body Horror Film | Check out 'Dead Name' on Indiegogo.

Dead Name is a transgender body horror movie about a closeted trans woman who rises from the grave At first, her return is seen as a miracle. Soon after, however, after having suffered the indignity of dying a man she starts carving her body, transforming it, and embracing the life she had always denied herself.

Nellie Bly Workman, the director of Dead Name, has over fifteen years working in the film industry, and has worked as a teacher of film and animation for the last four years.

Dead Name was born out of a desire to see more diverse transgender narratives. To tell transgressive queer stories, and to explore topics such as gender dysphoria and bodily autonomy through genre storytelling. It is, at its heart, a story about transitioning in a world that is hostile to you. Knowing this is the only way you can continue to exist, while others dismiss you, hate you, fetishize you, even claim ownership of you. The blunt violence of a Zombie horror film is then used to universalize the experience and accentuate the themes baked into the story.

We are looking to raise ten thousand dollars to cover the rest of the production and bring us into post production. The money will be used to pay for our cast, our crew, our makeup effects, locations, and the costs of feeding and transporting our cast and crew. If you join us on the journey, we have several tiered incentives to offer. From a shout out on the official social media, a digital gift basket, an invite to the official Dead Name Discord, and many others.

Dead Name is a movie that people want to see. Lets make it happen.

Dietland on Hulu Nov 2

Season 1 will be on Hulu. The show was canceled on AMC mainly because of lack of viewership. If Dietland gets watched enough on Hulu it could get picked up again.

Spread the word! Rewatch! Show your support!

The fact that Dietland got canceled unfortunately doesn’t surprise me. It further confirms my fear that the world isn’t ready to view fat people as human beings.

when a show, by some miracle, gets made about women getting revenge against male rapists it gets canceled after 1 season. I’m thinking Pretty Vicious & now Dietland. meanwhile, shows where men beat, murder, rape, and torture women get renewed again and again and get rave reviews for being so edgy and bold, lmao.

@peteseeger and others have talked about this topic at length already, but I just wanted to reiterate again that voting Democrat is not going to save us from a capitalist apocalypse. To the liberals reading this, most leftist posts advocating politics beyond electoral politics are not saying “don’t vote”. Yes, you should vote if you are able to and it should be understood as damage control for getting Republicans out of office. But you need to understand that it’s still just a slight time-staller for fascism and climate catastrophe. We only have 12 short years before the worst effects of climate change become irreversible, and any long-term proposals that only include voting Democrat are doomed to failure; Democrats are still capitalist, still imperialist, still driven by the same fundamental engine that got us into this mess. We need to start thinking outside the box of capitalist liberal democracy and start building a new world that actually works for everyone. Ecosocialism is the only viable long-term solution, guys. Democrats will not be our saviors.

(And just so we’re clear and so that this post isn’t misunderstood and hijacked by Rock The Vote types: YES, VOTE. Vote Republicans out of office. Then actively resist the subsequent Democrat establishment with your demands for a better world.)

The West | ContraPoints

There’s a lot of people talking about ‘The West’. But, what do those words even mean? I guess the mature and responsible thing to do would be a simple educational video to edify the public. Fuck that! The people demand blood! And I’m thirsty for blood…
