Here is the final edit, in all it's glory. Full notes and resources in the down there part.

This is not for public consumption yet: I've included my sensitivity reader's name in the end credits but need to official OK from her before hitting publish. Also I'm contractually obligated to release the Nebula version first.

But it's done, and you're the first to see it. :D

The timing of this video with the news... Which, honestly is probably a statement that would hit at anytime in the last... Forever.

Robin!

Yay, congrats on this achievement! Happy to see the fruits your hard fought labors (:

Ceno

Ian's back, baby!

TF

The alumni of UC Emeryville appreciate the call-out

TalysAlankil

another slam dunk (i say, fully aware that i'm white and my opinion is probably only worth so much)

Crissa Kentavr

There are so many little pieces of this I want to link to x-x

Shisa Sensation

Props for calling out my Alma Mater of UC Vacaville (which in no way is coincidentally my hometown)

Luis

I keep getting jumpscared by Davis Aurini in the “on paper” bit

Will Bower

hooray! i know how much the end of this has been a bugbear, so i’m very excited that it’s pretty close to done! excited to watch the polished version :)

Will

What was your process for compiling the "how to do good allyship" resources?

Samus Aran

This may very well be your best video yet. Well done! Your arguments are exceptionally well-crafted. Bravo, Mr. Studios.

Nick Kinsman

It's so good to have you back, Ian. I know you don't owe us anything, but I'm really glad you seem to be finding / have found yourself again.

Homebrew Futures

Oh, Ian! I just noticed that at 15:38, on my system anyway, all the doops in the slide (but none of the other graphics) have that pixelated "looks like butt" look. I'm at 15:53 and will add another comment if I see more.

https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cig_zJ9g402/?igshid=YWZlMWU5YjI= this insta reel is about the way recognizing ones whiteness makes people feel more racist than defaulting to the yellow emoji, i assume because asserting ones whiteness is most commonly done by white supremacists. This video is so relevant haha

Teh Moose

So hey, when can we blast this out to our peoples? :) My trigger finger's itchy, this is fantastic.

KSCHatch

This is amazing. “No one ever went broke appealing to the ignorance of white people” had me squealing.
