Questions for Jessie Gender

Digital Dialects is a Patreon podcast I host where I have conversations with other creators about creating and the ideas behind what they create. Patrons get the chance to submit audience questions that go straight to the guest!

The next digital dialects episode will feature Jessie Gender. I will be talking to her this Sunday. Post any questions you want me to ask Jessie in the comments of this post. 2024-12-10 18:22:37 +0000 UTC View Post

On xenogenders and neopronouns

Dipped my toes into some meaningless twitter discourse and got inspired to make a short second channel video about it. it's available to you now, but it goes public tomorrow.

Fear not. I am not condemning xenogenders or neopronouns. As you'll hear in the video, my qualm is with the hypothetical idea of centering xenogenders in trans activism. I don't think xenogenders/neopronouns are politi...

Town Hall - Saturday December 14th 4pm EST

I'm hosting the next Town Hall December 14th at 4pm Eastern Time.

Since there was such division on whether or not to talk about the election, I'm going to split the Town Hall into two sections.

The first half (about ~1hour), we'll have a shared space to discuss how we feel about the upcoming administration, practical strategies from your community on how we can stay strong, and general venting.

The second half, I'm just gonna open the floor to a general Q&A. You can dir...

Peer Review w/ Tom Nicholas

Alright, I forgot to solicit audience questions for this. My bad asf guys. I was in the middle of an editing frenzy and it totally slipped from my mind. In any case, here's a cute convo. Here's the video version.

Also, I've been thinking of the future of Digital Dialects. At first I thought of this thing as a sort of "ethnogr...

On the Election of a Fascist President (VIDEO)

Hey all,

I've been thinking about the election in the past week... obviously, and decided to just let off some steam and cohere some thoughts I'd been having about the state of the world.

Right now it's unlisted but it'll probably go public sometime this week. Wanted to send to you all early to hear your thoughts.

Cheers,

Alex

Updates to Zoom Town Hall Nov 14th

Hi all,

After some reflecting on what I want to get out of the Town Hall, and also the fact that people don't seem super interested in the $25 tier, I've decided to make the Town Hall a more open format.

At least for the first Town Hall, I've changed the format to this:

1. My initial thoughts

2. Discussion Sections -- open to all tiers, but limited spots, on a first come, first serve basis; depending on attendance, it may just be one section.

3...

HELP ME! Town hall experiment and new tiers?

I'm thinking of starting a Zoom "town hall" Patreon benefit, but I need your help to decide what it should look like!

First...

There's a new $25 tier, which is currently live. Right now, the stand out benefit is the merch. You receive a merch item every three months for a YEAR, starting AFTER you spend 3 months on the tier. after a year you no longer receive merch... It starts with a sticker, then a mug, then a t-shirt and another t-shirt. I put this here for anyo...

Yesterday did some filming. Here's some ungraded pics...

Questions for Big Joel?

Peer Review w/ JREG

Hi all, here is that Digital Dialects episode with JREG. In between the recording (a few months ago) and now I neglected to upload it because of the moving process and looking for an apartment in NYC sucks and my life got whacky for a bit. Also there's some echo that I cannot fix, and I've been locked out of the account where the Zoom video is uploaded because the e-mail associated was destroyed by ...

Launching creative consulting program! (and updates)

Content Updates: Hello all! The script for the BRAT video is 99% complete, but I've decided to let it marinate a few days so I can come back to it with fresh eyes. I should be filming within the next few weeks, and from then it's quick to upload. Expect it in November. Hopefully the election does not destroy the country before then :/

New Tier: In other news, I am going to publish a new Patreon Tier for creative consulting. I've always loved giving people feed...

Updates: Back on the grind soon

Hey all I'm in the process of moving since I've been "nomadic" for the past three months or so it's been hard to keep up with things like thank you notes, Patreon extras, digital dialects, etc.

I'm in the process of moving to NYC but once I get settled I'll be in full grind mode. Sorry for any delays.

Anyways does anyone have any leads on apartments in NYC, landlords don't really think YouTube is a job so I'm kinda cooked.

See you soon ✌️

starting a second channel

Hello all,

I'm going to be starting a second channel that has more unscripted things because sometimes there are things i'd like to talk about but they don't warrant a fully produced 1+ hour video. I'd also like to post some 10 minute clips from digital dialects on there to promote the patreon. But digital dialects WILL remain a Patreon exclusive (as in, the full videos will be available here only).

If you want to subscribe so you can see things in the future it'll be here:

Here's the video early lol

Here's the freaking video. It'll probably go live friday or something like that. but i like releasing to you all first since it helps me catch anything I missed and also you guys rock thanks for supporting me.

i almost go full liberal in this one. i hope you understand why.

ALSO DON'T CLICK THE SPONOSRSHIP THING OR SCAN TEH CODE UNTIL THE VIDEO COMES OUT PLEASE

Post gay month updates

Hello hope you had a happy gay month. I’m currently editing the script for the next video. It’s going to be on Hamilton. this has been taking a while.

When researching for Hamilton I saw that Lin Manuel Miranda said that Sondheim (or someone else I forgot) gave the advise to not write about everything in Hamiltons life, but rather, “just write the parts that are a musical.” I need someone to tell me to “just write the parts that are a video essay.”

I’ve vomited so ...

Deleted Scene from Upcoming Video

Hi all,

This is a very short deleted scene from the upcoming video, provisionally titled, "A People's History of Gender Ideology".

It's a nice little sequence, depicting the way that, as a trans person, my relationship to my past is complicated. It didn't fit anywhere into the video, though I shot it while making it.

In one sense it's my experience of gender dysphoria, but in another sense, it's also a type of melancholic nostalgia. I've found it hard to articulate this fe...
