Update

Hey all,

Just wanted to give you a quick progress report. I've been working to get a main channel video out by the end of this year, but—you probably won't be surprised to hear—I am runni...

Retrospective: Twilight

Hey all!

Here's my retrospective on the Twilight video.

On the last one some of you expressed a desire for longer content, so I have allowed myself to ramble more. I hope that's as good...

Retrospective: The Witch Trials of J.K. Rowling

Hey all,

Here's my retrospective/behind-the-scenes/outtakes video on "Witch Trials."

This is my first experiment with the "retrospective" format, so let me know whether it's working for...

We're So Back

Hi all,

Just letting you know the one-month Patreon pause is ending today. Here are my plans for upcoming videos:

This week I'm going to finish and upload Patreon-exclusive retrospectiv...

Patreon Pause

Hi all,

I've decided to pause the Patreon again because I am depressed. I have nothing to say that's not a dirge, and I'm opposed to dirges on principle.

You won't be billed for member...

Tangent: Sexual Personae

Hey all,

Tangent finished. Haven't slept. Update soon!

-Natalie

Tangent: Daddy Politics

Hey all,

Sorry this took way longer than I intended—the whole fascist dictatorship situation has been a real downer and my productivity has suffered. I had to film this one on four separate...

AMA Stream #62a [better audio]

Hey all,

There's an annoying electrical interference noise that appears on any audio I record in this room, but it was particularly bad on today's stream and especially noticeable to me on my...

Hi all,

Here's the link for today's AMA livestream. Sorry this is short notice, I forgot to post the general announcement in advance. As usual, I will answer questions from the comments on a ...

What's Next

Hi all!

I've taken a couple weeks to recover from the video crunch, play the piano, see some friends, and generally spend as little time as possible thinking about what The Globalists are up ...

New Video: CONSPIRACY

Hi friends,

New video here. There's a lot I could say about this one but should probably let the video do the talking for now. I'll check in again soon with other updates, etc.

Till the...

Upcoming Video

Hey all,

Just wanted to check in and give you a progress update. I've been working on a main channel video basically since "Twilight" was released in March of last year. My original target up...

Hi friends,

Wellbutrin dose increased, depressive episode mitigated, perfectionism abandoned entirely—I've technically finished this Tangent by the deadline!

Content warning: this epi...

New Plan: November Tangent

Hey all,

As you know, I’ve been working on a major main channel video. “Giving birth” to this project requires weeks on end of 12-hour workdays. Since I posted about the election on Sat...

November Tangent Topic Poll

Hi friends,

For reasons I’ll explain in a separate post that will go out to all patrons, I’ve decided to do a Tangent this month.

This poll will only be open for two days, because w...

The Situation

I’m sure we’ve all (Americans, everyone else who’s affected) taken three days to wallow. The day of not getting out of bed. The day of substance abuse and doomscrolling. The day of playing Sk...

We're So Back

Hey all,

Just letting you know I have unpaused the Patreon. I'm working very hard on a main channel video, which you can expect in about six weeks—I may need to make some minor script chang...

October Patreon Pause

Hey all,

Just letting you know that I've decided to put my Patreon on pause this month while I work on the next main channel video—you will not be charged until the end of next month.

I'm back in the US and will be doing the second half of AMA Stream #61 tomorrow, September 13, at 3:00 PM ET (earlier than usual because my brain is still on European time). The strea...

AMA Stream #61

Hi all,

Here's the link for today's AMA livestream. It will begin fashionably late, let's say 4:20 ET, to choose a random time. The stream will likely run for 4+ hours and will be archived he...

Invite to Submit Questions for AMA Stream #61

Hi 15+ Patrons,

It's been a while!

As I mentioned in my last post, I'll be doing an AMA* stream this month instead of a Tangent. The stream will be one week from today on Friday, August...

Tangent: Spirituality

Hi friends,

It's been truly an insane month in American politics, but I've somehow managed to keep it together enough to finish this Tangent (maybe all the mindfulness meditation has improved...

Tangent: Surreal Videos

Hi friends,

The topic patrons voted on this month was "A curated collection of surreal and obscure videos from across internet history with in depth commentary and analysis." I decided to dro...

May Tangent Topic Poll

Hi friends!

I'm still working on the "surreal videos" Tangent, will post that within the next week but I want to get a head start on the poll for the next one.

I will make an informal ...

Tangent: Granola Fascism

Hi friends,

This is one of those Tangents where at every stage I had to fight the urge to upgrade the project to a main channel video essay. Maybe I still will! I read several books for this,...

April Double Tangent Topic Poll

Hi friends!

I'm planning to make two Tangents this month, so this will be the poll for both topics. I will make informal Patreon-exclusive videos about the two topics that get the most votes....

Tangent: Generations

Hi friends,

Here's a Tangent on generations discourse. Sticking Out Your Gyatt for the Rizzler, the Strauss–Howe generational theory, cyclical vs. linear history, Hegel, Marx, Fukuyama, Mar...

March Tangent Topic Poll

Hi friends!

It's Tangent time again. I haven't posted one of these since October, and I paused the Patreon for two months while I finished the Twilight video to avoid going further into Tange...

New Video: Twilight

Hi friends,

Here is the longest video of my career. It’s about Twilight. For a long time people have been asking me to make a video about love/lust/limerence. I consider this to be that vid...
