guess I also should have specified I only meant the script of the wi spa video is done, but I've temporarily moved on to writing the justpearlythings response. feels good for now.
wi spa video script is 29 pages with an additional five pages of sources. came out of my room and everybody was like "where were you all day" and I couldn't say "snorting facts to get a youtube high"
Per the announcement from kolektiva that the FBI obtained unencrypted access to all of their database files via a raid:
NO INSTANCE IS SECURE. DO NOT POST ANYTHING INCRIMINATING ON ANY INSTANCE. DO NOT PLAN ILLICIT ACTIVITIES HERE. DO NOT EXPECT THAT WHAT YOU ENGAGE WITH HERE REMAINS INVISIBLE TO PRYING EYES, IT IS NOT. ALL WALLS CAN BE BREACHED.
"My own sex, I hope, will excuse me, if I treat them like rational creatures, instead of flattering their *fascinating* graces, and viewing them as if they were in a state of perpetual childhood, unable to stand alone. [...] I wish to show that elegance is inferior to virtue, that the first act of laudable ambition is to obtain a character as a human being, regardless of the distinction of sex; and that secondary views should be brought to this simple touchstone."
-Mary Wollstonecraft, "A Vindication of the Rights of Woman," 1792
new plan: thinking of making every video essay that goes live in july a kind of response video, to grab people's attention. then slowly over the next couple months covering more stuff as topics independent of commenting on other youtuber's videos. I've already got some responses lined up so I think it'll work nicely.
New patron video is up! It's a very short essay about Little Women.
I've also already decided that next month's patron essay and possibly the following month's as well will be discussing even more women's literature, some american and some british.
I'm thinking it has to be the justpearlythings response, the next noah smith response or the black aragorn video, but all three will take some research, so we'll see as it all unfolds.
not sure if I'm ever going to finish/record/upload this response to CJ the X -- I really have a hard time navigating their views about art without being overly harsh. it feels like it would seem uncalled for in terms of negative energy. but sometimes you meet a perfectly fine person who says something about art that just makes you think, "hmmm, okay, well, you're sort of inhuman." like realizing a person you're talking to is the grim reaper. not evil. just kind of antithetical to life.
