Patron Report Q1 2021 (Patreon)

Hello everyone,

Time for another quarterly update. This one has had a few ups and downs. I moved, and the big bump I had at the beginning of 2021 has calmed down quite a bit. A few videos didn't do as well as I'd hoped, but I still think they were fun and good projects worth doing.

The next few months look interesting. Bokksu came back for sponsorships in May - July so expect 2 more videos on Japanese history this quarter (advice on what to cover for those would be appreciated) and Skillshare went up and bought up the whole year! So things are looking real good.

So far this quarter we have videos planned on the Armenian Genocide, Women of the White Power movement, the Tulsa Massacre, and the assassination of President Garfield. All very "fun".

We've also gotten some merch, so patrons who donate at the $5 and up level for 3 months will get stickers! (update your shipping addresses).

I want to say how much I appreciate you guys. You're the reason I can keep doing this weird thing as my full-time job, and I appreciate it more than you know.

Now, for the videos you funded this quarter:
