Long but fabulous day filming pick-up scenes for a feature I worked on in 2021! If you ever need a queer, fat-positive performer, just ask! Especially horror 😈 Also, I can't decide if I am a hat person...

I love Brendan Fraser. I don't love this is the only representation in mainstream Hollywood & the only way people will think about fat people. Depressed & alone. But there are so many fat people in the world, happy. Healthy. Thriving. We need to tell their stories too.

@hamishsteele People cannot wrap their heads around the idea some folk find fat folk sexy. They have been conditioned to think the opposite all their lives. The truth is, many people think fat people are the epitome of sexiness and seek that out in a partner. Thanks for saying this!

This @GaylyDreadful article by @StanTheMechanic highlights why I created a fat positive LGBT production company & why one of the shows we make is about a plus sized demonologist in #DemonDoctor . More LGBT and more fat positive representation in horror is needed! Thanks, Stan!
I am so proud to be a part of #Gaylyhelpful2021 with this piece I wrote about the lack of positive big/ fat body representation in horror. Please take a read and donate to @TransLawCenter (There’s a link in the article.) Thank you @GaylyDreadful for having me & organizing. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️❤️
