august'24 update
Hey everyone. Last month, I put together a video on data colonialism. I'm really excited for you all to see it. This month, I'm working on one or two of three concepts: a video on the concept of civilisation, a video on tech criticism, and a video on the concept of mutuality. We'll see how much I'm able to research and execute as the month goes on. This week, my video on nonplaces is dropping and I'm going to be trying YouTube's new A/B testing thumbnail thingy. Here are the options as usual, and a preview of the timesta...
june'24 update
Hey everyone. This month I've been pretty busy out of the office, far more so than usual, so I haven't had the time to get my writing work done. However, I decided to take a crack at a smaller project idea for a video, so expect that one to come through in August. It touches on the concept of "non-places." For my next video, on education, I'm at a loss regarding the thumbnail, but let me know what you think.As usual, here's a fun lil preview of the timestamps:Introduction - 0:00Preface - 1:17History of Schooling - 1:57Cr...

Before the update, please take a moment to donate to the Creators for Palestine fund. Our goal is to raise $1,000,000 for PCRF, MAP, UNRWA, and Heal Palestine. Here's the link:https://tiltify.com/@creators-for-palestine/creators-for-palestineNow, onto the update!This month I've been focusing on July's video on education. I'm really happy to announce that my video on organising anarchy has done very well by the channel's standards, and I'm glad it could spark some interesting conversations about anarchy and its pursuit.He...
april'24 update
This month I've been focusing on June's video on globalisation and continuing my book rewrite. Some personal life issues have slowed my progress considerably, but we move. May's video on Organising Anarchy, the spiritual part two of April's video on the State, will be released on International Workers' Day: May 1st.Just as with my video on Solarpunk Cities, I've been working with Sean Bodley to create yet another beautiful piece of solarpunk anarchist artwork for a thumbnail and within the video itself. This thumbnail pr...
march'24 update
I've made some great strides and I'm coming to a close on May's video on Organising Anarchy. This piece is by Gustave Dore; it will serve in both April's thumbnail and May's video.I've attached a few drafts of that thumbnail as well. As you can see, I'll be laying out my critique of the State. Here are some of my references:Coercion, Capital, and European States, AD 990-1990 by Charles TillyAnarchy by Errico MalatestaAgainst the Grain by James C ScottWorshiping Power by Peter GelderloosSeeing Like A State by James C...
february'24 update
My brain has been burning calories working on April's video. Based on the image, can you guess what it might be about? Sometimes the art is only tangentially related to the subject at hand, but you can try guessing anyway! This piece is by Thomas Cole.The video for March has been completed. Its working title is "How To Create A Culture." Though I didn't see it taking me there when I first came up with the idea for the subject, it has unexpectedly expanded my understanding and ability to communicate some key revolutionary concept...
gauging preference
While not a believer a majority rule, here's a quick poll. I know that most have joined the patreon just to pitch in some support without expecting anything in return, which I greatly appreciate. While I haven't been able to maintain patreon-only streams every month, particularly recently due to personal reasons, I have wanted to give back in some way. However, some folks have also expressed to me that they prefer the public streams over the patreon-exclusives. Do let me know which you prefer 👇🏽
an update on the book
As some of you may recall from prior mentions in my livestreams, I've been working on a book for the past two years.This book is centred on the contemporary issues of the Caribbean, informed by our tumultuous history and geared towards finding solutions in a "new marronage" inspired by anarchist principles and praxis.Although it has a Caribbean focus for a Caribbean audience, its ideas will also be globally applicable, for those interested in picking it up when it releases.I initially intended to publish the book between this year a...
