February Update: Recurrence (Patreon)

Hey team,

Sorry for the incredibly tardy update.

In Short

In February I released a video! And a podcast! Then I went to DC for a weekend and came back with COVID. :(

I was feeling mostly recovered a week ago but then went back to the gym prematurely and kicked off a wave of extreme fatigue that lasted three days, so I've had to pause strenuous activity for a while. Provided I don't elevate my heartrate and take breaks when being active, I feel pretty much normal now! I've paused the gym for the time being and will be doing, like, yoga and long walks for a few weeks and then we'll assess. Recovery has been more nonlinear than my last bout.

The aim for this month, now that Protagony and point b are public, was to finish off that freelance gig and then get to the next Alt-Right Playbook, but this month has mostly been COVID recovery instead. So finishing the freelance gig is likely to spill into next month.

Meantime, I have been working on a script for a future video. Writing tends to be the thing I can do even when unwell, and it was nice to do something creative instead of just lying in bed watching mediocre action movies (which I still did a lot of). That video on neo-noir I've been threatening to do is now 7 1/2 pages into a first draft, and I don't think that's even half of it. Might break this into chunks like I did the Fury Road video, because it'd be a behemoth otherwise.

So that's me this month. Talk to you soon!
