2025-08-02 23:40:53 +0000 UTC View Postcontent? on my patreon? more likely than you think.
i really love doing these because they illuminate how much more visually i could be thinking than i do the first time through. that being said - the visual aid in today's upload is a bit hungry. but we're working. we're thinking. we're prossibly rewriting the script. and doing it all at the absolute end of the month.
beautiful.

i could rename these to thirty minute thoughts but that's too much pressure
also yes that was a “B. Rad G” reference I tried to make. also also I realized while editing that I should’ve added that: the misogynoristic reactions of non-Black women like Huda are in part also fueled by the fact that they partner with self-hating Black men who probably espouse and encourage anti-Black rhetoric, especially targeted towards Black women.

the word of the day is “harrowing." i've got content banked up to record and edit, but so little time and much less energy. i hope you'll take this half scripted rambling review about one of social media's latest instigators of Disk Horse in the meantime.

good news: I'm starting a new (seasonal 😔) job tomorrow
bad news: executive dysfunction is beating my ass and I'm not as far on content as I would like to be ahead of this shift in my schedule. everything planned for this month is still coming but the timelines are a bit delayed.
we'll reevaluate in July, beloved but, i just wanted y'all to know in advance, that you might not hear for me until a big wave of content at the end of the month.

i have a new found respect for Booktubers after recording and editing this special edition read & review. i mentioned this in the video but i'm only doing this Extra Version for Sabaa Tahir's series (currently). other read & reviews of one off books will be the usual podcast format.
also i'm sorry i recorded in my living room, the emergency services were real active that night and usually the sirens aren't picked up that clearly.

Mentioned:
did you remember to flip your wall calendar over to March yet, beloved? do you have a wall calendar? it's actually very help to be able to see the month, not on a screen. will i use it to schedule this month's planned slate of videos? now that you mention it, i should.
