Alright, so what's with that Geronimo thing?
🕑 Added 2025-04-18 00:29:25 +0000 UTCThe fact is that I'm in a shit financial situation and am still crawling my way out of the pit I dug for myself. I'm still hopeful that YouTube will reinstate me into the partner program, if you've got the time then bothering them on Twitter would be nice. I'm starting a podcast with friends as well, I'll share that soon.
All the same, you should know how I'm spending my time. I'm eager to do a longer historical project, and the Geronimo one was about half-completed when personal issues had to take a front seat. I'm finishing moving all my books at the end of the month, and will resume production on that video then.
I can't promise a release date, but I can say that I just did a rewrite to the introduction, so rest-assured it's not something I've lost interest in. The video will, in fact, center around James Baldwin, specifically his quote: "People are trapped in history, and history is trapped in them."
The video will cover the Apache-American wars and will discuss themes of sacrifice, violence, and how our environment shapes us. Like with The Mad God of the Yucatan, I want to take a historical figure who is niche but controversial and make them feel complex and real. I approach history from a very individual perspective, and this project has already shaped up to be something of a statement on that.
I appreciate your patience and support as always, you've helped make a difficult time far easier. I know the recent content has been something of a departure, but gaming stuff is coming soon, and history not long after.
Adele lyrics of the day:
"There ain't no gold in this river
That I've been washing my hands in forever
...
Go easy on me, baby
I was still a child
Didn't get the chance to
Feel the world around me
I had no time to choose what I chose to do
So, go easy on me"
I can't believe I've been doing this for five years. Do you have any earthly idea how fucking stupid I was five years ago? I can't wait to learn how stupid I am today, and I hope you're there to see as well.
I've been threatening to hit half a million subscribers for quite some time now. It happening during this period of transition and struggle seems apt (if indeed, it does happen). Thanks for being here.
Thanks,
DJ PC

Freshly subscribed. I am trying to read more. I bought The Fire Next Time expecting to force myself through the first 10 pages. I ended up finishing it in a day, it was so good.

In the least symbiotic way possible, I only joined Patreon to support you because your work speaks to me more than a lot of stuff has recently. I guess I'm glad my support is actually going to someone that can use it. Slay boots diva etc
