This is a lot more philosophy-heavy than I thought it would be and it's been a long time since I last read philosophy. I'm going to power through. Anyone wanna read it and we can chat about it? @zesmerelda.bsky.social Thanks to @michaelburns.bsky.social for recommending it in videos.

Michael Burns | Patreon using philosophy to make sense of a non-sense world

true story - I'd love to hire someone to work full-time with me this year.

i'd also like to make some more expansive projects that involve documentary and interview and travel and stuff.

to do that I need to grow my Patreon by 50%

sorry for not streaming today.

leaving for Texas tomorrow (BUY TICKETS IF YOU'RE IN AUSTIN PLZ) and behind on EVERYTHING after being sick for a couple of weeks.

trying to film something before i leave and my brain feels dead.

hopefully will do a "texas stream" on Friday to make it up.

Donald Trump killed two of my constituents. He is a liar and should be ashamed of himself.
