Jumpgate #122 – Crusade: Visitors from Down the Street

It's time for X-Files by way of Babylon 5! The truth is out there on this fun little homage episode of Crusade... especially since Vera and I have never watched the X-Files (I KNOW, YELL AT ME IN THE COMMENTS, I WILL WATCH IT EVENTUALLY!)

Jumpgate #121 – Crusade: Racing the Night

We've come to what was supposed to be the original pilot of Crusade on the Jumpgate podcast and while its much better than the other pilot... it also some has of the wildest, most baffling CGI choices of all time and I love it!

Jumpgate #120 – Crusade: The Needs of Earth

The Jumpgate Podcast continues on its Crusade through Babylon 5's spin off. And let's not be coy about it: this is the best episode of the show so far, by quite a margin.

There Is Still Hope

I carry within me a thousand quiet storms, each one murmuring its own grief, its own rage, its own sorrow—and I know, in this moment, I am not alone. I know you, too, are feeling it, all of us bearing witness to the same cruel truth. Perhaps, in time, I will have more to offer—more words that are clear, more thoughts that are useful—but for now, this is all I can say:


Tonight, America chose hatred. And in doing so, it has reminded me of a truth I cannot forget: this cou...

i h8 ai 2oo" Script

Hey all. I wrote this script today in response to a recent short film made by filmmaker Aneesh Chaganty, a filmmaker I generally really like, promoting Meta's new filmmaking AI tool. I absolutely hate it, and I needed to express why. I'm thinking of turning this into a video but I wanted to share the script with you all now.

Here is the original video that I'm responding to for context - https://www.youtub...

Jumpgate #116 - Crusade: Warzone

WHOM DO YOU SERVE AND WHOM DO YOU TRUST? We're finally diving into the Babylon 5 spinoff CRUSADE - starting with perhaps a controversial first episode to begin with - the second filmed pilot War Zone and oh boy... is this one a doozy. Come join us on the Jumpgate podcast.

YouTube Is Destroying Its Creators

YouTube is burning us up... and it's not sustainable for much longer.

This is a video that I really wish I didn't have to take time to make for numerous reasons. But it's one that I think needs to be made... And I just want to say thank you to all of you here on Patreon. Be on the lookout for my update video for October (it may be out already; I'm uploading this a few days early), where I'll talk about this more, but... I've had a few really positive projects come up, both for fi...

We Need to Discuss Chappell Roan

So this video gets a bit personal, and it's obviously on a topic that's been very heated these past few weeks, so I'm debating if I will release it on my secondary channel. It's a non-scripted discussion, so I'm sharing it with all of you here on Patreon because I just want your thoughts and opinions on it. I trust you all and want this discussion to go somewhere with people who I trust, but please let me know what you think <3

BIG NEWS UPDATE & FRUSTRATIONS (Discord Link)

Hey all. So, this is a fairly big Patreon update for this month. Check out the video for more details, but I have a few BIG projects I'm working on for next year that are in their incubation phases. So, I'm pumped to share it with you. But I also need your help deciding on some content ideas.

Jumpgate #114 - River of Souls

The Jumpgate Podcast isn't over even though we already did the Babylon 5 finale. We've got movies to do! Because Sheridan may be off the station but that doesn't mean the trouble has stopped when a baby Ian McShane arrives carrying a stolen Soul Hunter artifact.

Jumpgate #113 - Sleeping in Light

We've finally hit the series finale of Babylon 5 on the Jumpgate podcast. It's been a long road (and there is still a bit of road to go with the spinoff Crusade and the movies that we'll be covering) but it's a bittersweet ending as we say goodbye to this wonderful series.

Jumpgate #112 - Objects at Rest

We've hit the penultimate episode of Babylon 5 on the Jumpgate podcast... which sadly also means we've hit one of the worst character decisions in the entire show...

Jumpgate #111 - Objects in Motion

Jumpgate continues as more and more prepared to depart from Babylon 5 for good. Vera gets out her dom voice and she and I are almost at the finish of the show's final full season.

Jumpgate #110 - The Wheel of Fire

Lyta gets badass, Garibaldi has to face consequences for falling off the wagon (ok, only kinda), all while Lochley and Zack are tasked with arresting Lyta for funding terrorism. So a light episode as we near the end of Babylon 5 on the Jumpgate podcast -

Dreaming of a Queer Internet

I think this may be the best video I'm ever made...

In the liminality between desire and technology–there is room for new imaginings. It is no surprise then that technology, which had always been promised as the horizon of the future, had placed into it the dreams of those who hoped for a new future beyond the limitations we had today. As the queer and trans community found new connections and language to express our imaginations on this new digital frontier, we expanded beyond the bo...

JK Rowling & the Deathly Transphobic Racism - PATREON EDITION

JK Rowling, lawsuits, sexism, and racism. So nothing is new... except maybe the lawsuit. A video essay on the treatment of Imane Khelif by JK Rowling and how it intersects with institutional sexism, racism, intersex bigotry, and transphobia, and why sports continue to be a microcosm of our larger white supremacist society.

Obviously, this is another video about a rough subject, BUT I just finished a larger, more fun video that'll be coming later this week for y'all. So, hopefully, that...
