wip: puriteens & the modern hayes code
content? on my patreon? more likely than you think. i really love doing these because they illuminate how much more visually i could be thinking than i do the first time through. that being said - the visual aid in today's upload is a bit hungry. but we're working. we're thinking. we're prossibly rewriting the script. and doing it all at the absolute end of the month. beautiful.
"ten" minute thoughts: Love Island US S7
i could rename these to thirty minute thoughts but that's too much pressurealso yes that was a “B. Rad G” reference I tried to make. also also I realized while editing that I should’ve added that: the misogynoristic reactions of non-Black women like Huda are in part also fueled by the fact that they partner with self-hating Black men who probably espouse and encourage anti-Black rhetoric, especially targeted towards Black women.CW: mentions of suicide, 24:46 - 25:50Ericka Hart IG ReelsForeign on CoryNicolandria foot editLive footage ...
July Update
i feel like every time i open my mouth to talk about content, there first comes a disclaimer about my unfortunate lack of free time. but i want to keep expectations (for you and myself!) realistic. so while this is what's on the docket, all dates are subject to change.

"ten" minute thoughts: The Materialists
the word of the day is “harrowing." i've got content banked up to record and edit, but so little time and much less energy. i hope you'll take this half scripted rambling review about one of social media's latest instigators of Disk Horse in the meantime.

theories & queries: Severance
the title is more of a suggestion than a solid structure but say hello to a new patreon exclusive form of content! this is very much in the spirit of my What I Watched videos for the aural record tier -- which is to say, kinda chaotic and full of me interrupting myself. edited with a greater priority for listening pleasure than viewing, please know that i stupidly went on tumblr to find screenshots and almost spoiled so much for myself before giving up and relying on search engine results. i have since watched episode 9. most of my questions re...
