"Government paper actually link to something instead of just leading to a generalized/non-existant page" Challenge: Impossible????

Reminder that queer, trans, and nonbinary people are more likely to have eating disorders. Not directly because of being queer, or trans, or nonbinary, but because of the stress of living in a world that is so hostile towards them for existing.

Calling all trans allies: If you haven't put your pronouns in your bio yet, please do. It's a tiny little thing, but I can't tell you how much it means to us. It's how I know you're safe. 🏳️‍⚧️

Me: I'll do this video! I haven't seen other folks do stuff like it, so why not? Also Me: Oh no. I'm 4K into the research phase of this video with a host of other (sub-)topics to cover here. This MIGHT be why nobody has covered this yet. So currently trying to decide if I can/should split this up?

Don't mind me. I'm just nearly tearing my hair out trying to find when one particular episode of one particular show aired back in 1966. It should be easy to find, but somehow I'm finding a minimum of three different dates across three different months. How the hell do you get things THIS WRONG? +

I can’t seem to focus on one project rn and they all seem to be big, unwieldy projects. Sorry for the lack of updates on videos. I took a break after the big Phantom of the Paradise vid, thinking I’d go back to smaller vids for a bit. Smaller video failed. Now I have 2 Big Video Ideas in progress.

I might just give up on the video I've been trying to work on for the last few months. I've not actively touched it in, like, a month, and now even acknowledging its existence is making me anxious and frustrated. That's not a good creative place to be in, and I'm interested in other video ideas atm.

Is this a really silly idea? Yes. Do I still want to do this* anyways (when money allows)? Also yes. I would love to read these @chucktingle.bsky.social stories for myself and share my thoughts on as many as possible! throne.com/angelofmusic...

I'm working on a short(ish) video right now, but I'm not sure when it'll be done. I've realized I do sound a bit stuffed up in the audio, so I'm definitely getting a little under the weather. I'm hoping that this won't mean too long of a delay of this or future videos.

This video is officially the longest one I've ever scripted. I just finished the script and it's clocked in at just over 13,000 words! That's over twice the length of some of my longest scripts, which clock in at almost 5K for a half hour long video!

This video has been taking a long time to script, but today I got to dive down a rabbit hole that I've admired from a far for YEARS: TONTO. Honestly, I don't speak on it in as much depth as I want to, but it has made me consider doing a separate video diving into this piece of technology.

I realize that I've not been consistent in releasing content lately. For that, I apologize. I've been fairly open about my mental health on this channel, but in doing so, I hope it is understood that videos here can take a lot of effort. This can be more difficult when trying to maintain good MH. +

reminder there’s no shame in needing ADHD meds. Executive dysfunction is hard to describe but that doesn’t mean it isn’t real. The people adamantly shaming those who need meds for ADHD do not deserve to have any power over you. Don’t let them have it.

Well some long-term projects have been put on hold. The @archive.org has been down for a few days and I don't see a end in sight? I've been using the Archive to watch shows and do research for videos, especially w things like Pokemon, which seems to have a weird split of official sources of eps.

Finally posted a new video today. Here are my thoughts on “Tokyo Godfathers”, an early 2000s anime starring, among others, a trans woman dealing with homelessness. youtu.be/U2e-iCZAeo4

When I say that I have got a lot of work done on this upcoming video… but am ALSO three seconds away from finding a way to punt my editing software to the surface of the sun? Yeah… it’s been a day.

I got two-thirds of the way through editing an audio file for an upcoming project, only for the file to get partially deleted without my knowledge. (I swear Lightworks will look at a 40 minute-long original file and be like "I know the PERFECT way to fuck with you once you get to the 20min mark!") +

It's one of those months where I get inspiration for a video, then write, record, and edit that video all within, like, 24 hours. All this to say... I watched a movie and folks can hear my thoughts about it in just over a week:

Having a love-hate relationship with editing audio right now. I really hate how we live in a society where we are all conditioned that hearing someone breath--a crucial part of BEING ALIVE--is Bad, Actually. If we hear someone breath in any sort of recording, it's Not Good To Notice. It's bullshit.

I started writing a script for a video, got about a thousand words in, only to realize that it's probably better if I format it differently. Now I'm trying to see if any of the thousand-odd words that I wrote are salvageable, or if it all needs to be rewritten. *sigh*

Taking a break from editing to watch some YouTube vids and not overthink my own content…

Just realized that "Turtles" isn't a book that I took with me when I moved up here, though I thought it was. It's been a book that I usually have had on my shelf wherever I am at whenever I move. So here I am, purchasing the ebook, instead.

I just watched #turtlesallthewaydown It was just as poignant as the book. I might try to do a video about it (and the book???) and my feelings on how it portrays OCD. I haven’t talked about OCD in a while, and have thought about it more as I’ve gone through an episode lately. This is a good chance
