Pumping Iron II: The Women is a favorite and has been relegated to VHS rips on YT for decades. Cannot wait to support this.

This includes a Curt McDowell (Thundercrack!) film! Very excited.

‼️🫵 support this kickstarter :)

Hello please consider donating to this

Pumping Iron II: The Women is on par with if not better than the original. It is riveting to see people grapple with complex issues of gender sorta from first principles and Island Records did the soundtrack. One of my favorite documentaries and this is important work.

You know what would be a great thing to do today? Making this happen Here's the link ⬇️

Muscle Distribution and Elizabeth Purchell are amazing, they were great to work with from a press standpoint when I did a review of DILDO HEAVEN for @thegeekshow.bsky.social, so please do support and/or share this wonderful campaign! Some brilliant-looking titles here.

Give Liz your money or else Screen Slate SF is never covering anything gay ever again!!!!

One of my favorite people in the entire world is helping with restoring Off the Wall in particular and I'm very excited. Any support, whether financially or just spreading the word, is greatly appreciated. Help finance the restoration of rare and long uncirculated films!!

these are all worthwhile and exciting restoration projects, and Sparkle's Tavern happens to be a personal favourite

Screamplay is such a cool movie and I’m glad it’s getting a restoration! Think Guy Maddin meets Frank Hennenlotter!

Everyone who follows me is required to chip in. Very exciting film restoration work by the great Liz Purchell.

Muscle are doing essential, important work. They're at the vanguard of what's hot in queer cinema rn, and they are in the process of restoring four important films and they need our help. PUMPING IRON II: THE WOMEN is an all time favorite of mine & is among the films being restored

I saw Screamplay a few years ago at @matchboxcine.bsky.social 's Weird Weekend and I'm so stoked for the potential of a really nice proper release!

PUMPING IRON II: THE WOMEN!!!!! SPARKLE'S TAVERN!!!!! SCREAMPLAY!!!!! OFF THE WALL!!!!! GO GIVE LIZ ALL YOUR MONEY OR ELSE

Hell yeah! All zero of my followers who aren't already following the amazing work done by Liz and Muscle, you know what to do: www.kickstarter.com/projects/mus...

If you want to support trans women working nonstop to restore and revitalize underseen films better than anyone in the business, here's your shot. It's June: put your money where your mouth is.

All four of these are true passion projects that have been very long in the works — hope folks will be inspired to help support them (and @muscledistribution.bsky.social, and me). www.kickstarter.com/projects/mus...

The four films are… PUMPING IRON II: THE WOMEN (George Butler, 1985) SPARKLE’S TAVERN (Curt McDowell, 1976-84) SCREAMPLAY (Rufus B. Seder, 1984) OFF THE WALL (Rick King, 1976) Your support will allow us to bring these films back to audiences for the first time in years — if not decades.

We’re restoring four underseen and largely unavailable films, including two that have been out of circulation for decades and never released on home video — and we’re looking for your support. Check out the @kickstarter.com campaign here: www.muscle-distribution.com/kickstarter

I've said this before and I'll say it again: Liz is one of the most essential archivists out there. Not just releasing movies and forgetting about them, but working with filmmakers and ensuring they have a long life and get shown all over the goddamn world. Donate to this or else.

SOMETHING BIG IS COMING. We’re about to launch a @kickstarter.com campaign for our most ambitious project yet: restoring four indie films from the 70s and 80s, including two that’ve NEVER been released on any home video format. Sign up for updates and help share: www.kickstarter.com/projects/mus...

We’re restoring not one but FOUR underground and indie films from the 70s/80s, including two that’ve NEVER been released on home video or digitally… and we’re about to launch a @kickstarter.com to raise the funding to get them done. Sign up for updates here: muscle-distribution.com/kickstarter

New story! In the spirit of pride month, it's about job insecurity, trans precarity, evil computers, and at least one fursona. As always--my stories are free for all. If you like it, consider supporting my work, or at least sharing it. Thanks.

Seriously: I like sharing good writing with you that's also deeply queer. I think it's important to not save all my best stuff for some elusive maybe-kinda-could-be journal--and I hope that if you like it you pass it along or share it or give me money. The options aren't endless but there's plenty.

I am loath to do this, but I need your help. My 20+ year marriage has unexpectedly imploded. There's a kid involved. Aside from Lupus, Autism and a shitty 2009 Mazda, I have nothing. Things are fairly desperate right now, so if you can help out now in any way at all I'd be really grateful ❤️
