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 running behind. I'm at the stage of finalizing a script...

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 for you as it is for me.

Thank as always fo...

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 you. Will try to finish two more of these over th...

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 retrospectives/outtakes for my last three main channel videos....

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 membership during the pause. Billing will resume when wo...

Tangent: Sexual Personae

Hey all,

Tangent finished. Haven't slept. Update soon!

-Natalie

P.S. I have fully committed to the 4:3 aspect ratio.

AMA Stream #62b [Monday @ 5pm ET]

Hi all,

Here's the link for the second part of the AMA livestream. The stream will begin at 5pm ET on Monday (June 9) and will likely run for 4+ hours. The replay will remain linked here—most patrons just watch the replay, so don't worry a...

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 days, but whatever, I got the job done. It is a l...

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 phone speakers. I've reuploaded the stream here a...

AMA Stream #62

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 separate post (from a couple days ago) for $15+ Pa...

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 to.

I'm ready to get back to work now—here...

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 then, enjoy! Or maybe "enjoy" isn't the right word, b...

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 upload date was the US election in November. The res...

Tangent: Satanism

Hi friends,

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

Content warning: this episode discusses lavishly horrible (and entirely fal...

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 Saturday, I’ve been trying to get back into the rhy...

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 we’re already halfway through the month, and I wa...

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 Skyrim for 14 hours. I don’t feel ready to get up ...

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 changes depending how things go on November 5. After th...

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.

As discussed in the last AMA, I would like to con...

AMA Stream #61b [scheduled for tomorrow]

Hi all,

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 stream will likely run for several hours and will be ar...

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 here for those who miss it live. Questions are poste...

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 23 at 4pm Eastern Time.

The stream will be ...

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 my focus).

In a lot of ways this is an expa...

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 drop the "obscure" criterion for reasons explained in...

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 Patreon-exclusive video about the topic that get t...

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, and justified the amount of research time to myse...

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.

I've tried to include a mix of popular topi...

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, Mark Fisher, Skibidi Toilet—all the hits.

Thi...

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 Tangent debt. That's not a great system, so from now on...

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 video.

I began work on this in summer 2022, and...
