@margaret.bsky.social Is there anyway I could communicate with you? I’m in the research phase of a video essay with a strong focus on trans women who wear facial hair and you are one of the people I would be happiest to speak to about this as a huge fan of your podcast.

My blog post about transgender death and violence. Of course, humongous trigger warning.

@theabigailthorn.bsky.social Hey Abigail! I’ve been watching your videos for like 5 years at this point, I’m a huge fan! This is a long shot, but I just wanted to kindly ask if you would watch my video essay I just released about people who hate their birthday.

@contrapoints.bsky.social Hey Natalie! No shade to other channels, but you’re my #1 favorite video essayist. You were the most important person that helped me understand I was trans. I know it’s a long shot, but I would like to kindly ask if you would watch my essay I just released.

@sarahz.bsky.social Hey Sarah, I really love your videos! I just wanted to kindly ask if you’d be willing to watch a video essay I just made? It’s a love letter to people who hate their birthday.

@miamulder.bsky.social Hey Mia! I know you stay incredibly busy with your political work, but I really love your videos and just wanted to kindly ask if you’d be willing to watch my video essay I just made about people who hate their birthday.

@ladyemily.nebula.tv I love your videos a ton, I just got done watching all your Channel Awesome videos for like the third time. I know it’s a long shot, but is there any way you’d be willing to watch my video essay I just put out about people who hate birthdays?

@lily-is.online I know this is a long shot, and I apologize if it’s annoying, but I’m trying to reach out to my favorite video essayists and ask them to watch my video essay I just put out on people who hate their birthdays. I figured it was at least worth a try.

@neiltheleftistcook.bsky.social Sorry if this is annoying, and it’s kind of a long shot, but you’re in me top 3 video essayists and it would mean the world to me if you watched my video essay I just released on people who hate birthdays.

Hey. I released a video essay. It’s a love letter to anyone who hates their birthday and it would mean the world to me if you watched it.

There is no singular thing called “gender dysphoria” in the same way there is no singular building called “the university.”

It’s a long story…

White people don’t even say howdy doo anymore, they just ask if you’ve seen Wicked or not.

Being tough and hard doesn’t make you strong. Being soft is strong. Being vulnerable is strong.

Really? That’s really interesting, I’ll have to look more into the history and reasoning behind that.

Why the hell do weddings have a designated time for people to object to it?

Why does a lack of empathy make calling them cruel problematic? That makes me think cruelty requires some sort of schadenfreude, but aren’t psychopaths still cruel if they’re indifferent?

@joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social is what everyone wishes Dave Chapelle was

Remembering how when Trump disbanded the pandemic response team in 2018 countless experts at the time warned it was only a matter of time before a global pandemic would hit. And were ignored by him.

Hey @realkeithhabs.bsky.social, you ever gonna address the criticism against Hughie Stone Fish or you just gonna keep making music with him and pretending like he’s not a Zionist?

Shits been hard lately. Tell me something nice.

Fuck The Four Agreements

The last time I jumped out of a swing was a couple years ago. I started to twist in the air and I landed flat on my side. Pretty sure I’ve never been the same since.

I spoke to a talented junior scientist who just got a good faculty job offer in the US and they told me “well I wouldn’t move to 1930s Germany either” so that’s how that’s going
