Thank You--January Update

This year is only one month in and it has not gone according to plan. Firstly, I want to thank everyone for their patience this month. Losing my friend, Aaron Reese, has been truly one of the most heartbreaking things I have lived through. It feels like the third in a harrowing trilogy of loss and grief. He was one of the most important people in my life. A blerd through and through. A Black queer comic book creator who lived life to the fullest and always made space for his friends. On a sel...

The Politics of Pleasure

It's the politics of pleasuurreeee (sang to the tune of the Pleasure Principle)

(Note: I apologize for the quick turnaround on this video here and on YT. There is some exclusive Patreon stuff coming. I have just been catching up).

With Project 2025's orchestrators poised to gain real power through Trump's election, combined with fears of a TikTok ban and widespread issues with literacy—from basic reading to media and news comprehension—we find ourselves in a paradox: an endles...

Archetypes: The Penguin & Agatha All along

Down, down, down the Road/Down the Gotham Road

Both Agatha Harkness and Oz Cobb in their respective series play with the modern day expectations of a villain led narrative.

Third Video

I somehow got in a position where I'm doing three videos this month. Lol. I've already finished writing the second one, but I'm stuck on what to do for my third, so here are my ideas, and most of them I've already started writing.

 I'll let it go until Friday.

More updates coming next week
