hello again! this is a bit of a weird one but i'm really rather proud of it. what started as your sort of bog standard "sorry i don't release stuff as much as i used to, let me talk about why" breadtube apology vlog slowly morphed into a more wide-ranging examination of how it feels to make video essays in 2023, and how some other essayists are handling their own similar feelings. it's also got a little art in it. i tried to execute this one artfully. anyway, hope you enjoy it and that the rest of your week is calm and pleasant!!
