End of Year update (Patreon)

hey, folks.

i want to just say right at the start that there won't be a new video in december. i said in my Pulse video that i've rediscovered a lot of what i enjoyed about making videos in the first place, and that's true! but it's become painfully clear to me that the way i've historically done videos simply isn't sustainable for me anymore, and i have to radically rethink my process going forward into the new year.

thank you all so much for supporting me through all these inconsistencies. the fact is that i have adhd and bipolar 2, both of which are currently unmedicated (though hopefully not for much longer), on top of everything else going on in the world right now. no matter how hard i try, everything feels out of reach. even something as simple as recording a podcast feels like a herculean effort most days.

there's a lot to look forward to in january. i'll be collaborating with Eric Sophia on a video defending the Matrix sequels, which we've been quietly working on for a couple months now. to coincide with that, i'll be FINALLY continuing my video series on the works of the Wachowski sisters with a video broadly discussing the first Matrix as well as the franchise's extended media. i'm going to try to focus on the Wachowski series in the hopes of having one less unfinished project on my channel for people to pester me about 😅

other big news is for sure coming in January, but that's a secret for now... 

again, thank you all for your patience. it has not been the year we wanted it to be and the future is not looking overly bright by comparison. but despite everything, you and i are still here. we'll make it work, one way or another.

see you next year.
