Hey all,
Sorry I'm running late—I guess I'm not in fact capable of starting these things early. 🤦🏼♀️ I'll be on in 10-15 minutes!
If you're a 15+ patron make sure you asked your question on the "Invite" post, and not the stream announcement post!
The stream will remain archived here for those who miss it live.
Looking forward to chatting!

Hi friends!
Ten weeks ago I started work on a video I wanted to call "Cringe"—straightforward topic, good for a shorter video, and I figured I could just reuse the sets from "Shame." Easy! I was thinking this would be a return to the simpler, shorter style of the videos I did a couple years ago. But as my research went on and on, the project evolved into something more complex.
So here it is, another feature-film-length YouTube video.
Thanks for your patience with this one...

I recorded this little anecdote while I was filming "Opulence." Originally this was for Vanity Fair—they featured me in a piece on YouTubers and they wanted a little vlog responding to the prompt "What was your biggest YouTube video fail?" or something like that. Anyway I didn't end up getting it to them in time so they never used it. May as well post it here for you all though!

Hello lovely people,
Just checking in to let you know how I'm doing and update you about a couple things.
First, the global pandemic situation... oof. I hope you're all staying as safe and sane as possible in these dark times. I've been sick the last week or so myself, likely with coronavirus. I was likely exposed to it in LA a few weeks ago, where I was visiting a friend who got very sick shortly after I left. We probably both got it at Disneyland. Luckily, whatever it is I have ...

Hey all,
I'm going live in about 15 minutes with the February AMA stream! Since it's a makeup stream, and since I'm even less together than usual today, I will literally do my makeup on stream while answering the questions. Also it's Friday night, and you're missing a Drag Race premiere for this, so we may as well have fun. 🎉

First! A lot of you have requested written transcripts of my videos, and I hear you! My assistant and I are working on creating what is basically an article version of each video, and with future videos that will come out the same week as the video.
Obviously I put a lot of effort into the videos and I do prefer that people consume my content that way, but I understand there's various reasons release ...

Dear 15+ Patrons,
I'm gonna try something new for this AMA stream. Instead of typing your questions in the comments, click the link on this post to take you to a Google form where you can ask the question.
I'm doing it this way because some people inevitably write out 8 paragraphs of text which is awkward to read aloud on stream, so the Google form has a 350-character limit. If that turns out to be too short, let me know and I'll consider making it longer next time. But it's more ...

Hi friends,
Here it is, a new video!
I guess you could consider this part two in my series of depression content lol. I've had a rough winter, but these videos have been cathartic to make.
Both this one and Canceling have taken very personal approach to topics that also have a lot of political relevance. I'd like to revisit both topics in future videos and take the more political approach. And when I do it'll be nice to be able to refer back to the personal intensity of thes...

Hey all,
Just letting you know I haven't forgotten we're behind one AMA stream. I'm so focused on the video I'm currently working on that I can't really do anything else in life until it's done, so let's do the makeup stream once this vid is out. (That way we'll have two streams in February, the shortest month—perfect lol).
Thanks for all your support and see you on stream in a week or so!

Hey all,
So what usually happens when I finish the AMA stream on YouTube is, for a couple hours, only the last two hours of the stream are archived and watchable while YouTube finishes processing the video. But this week I'm seeing comments from several people that even a few days later they're still only able to view the last two hours of the stream. Some people say they fixed the problem by opening it in an incognito window, or viewing it in the YouTube mobile app.

The recent controversies have really kind of crushed me, and my mental health is not in a good place at all. I feel so hated and just numb all the time, and I've been having a hard time getting anything done. I'm afraid to post anything anywhere for fear of provoking more backlash.
