this is the first video essay i've done in a looooooong time that didn't feel like pulling teeth. i'm really rather proud of this one! it touches on burnout, transitioning in the public eye, and the political utility of the video essay in ways i've been grasping at for years. give it a watch if you have time and share if you feel so compelled. the algorithm does not like me right now so every little bit helps!!

ya know i really wish i woulda stuck to just smoking weed but an unhealthy cope made me turn to cigarettes and now i'm spending like forty bucks a week on cancer sticks that taste like shit, when weed was there the whole time and my favorite strain tastes like fucking grape flavored crush soda. don't recommend tobacco, doesn't feel good doesn't taste good and doesn't even look good anyway

i'm lucky to have grown up in a smokers' household that pretty thoroughly turned me off to cigarettes at very early age lmao. weed almost assuredly has its own problems but even when i smoke a lot i still smoke way less of it than i would if i were smoking cigarettes. good luck to you, hope you're able to cut down the habit with time

I lost count of things that connected to me here and in the process what I was going to say except some vague and inadequate expression of thanks.

I just have to keep trying new things too and hope I can do them with the courage they deserve, because I don't think I know how to do anything else anymore.

"Legitimately threatened and marginalized trans people don't owe anyone grace. your job is just to stay alive" is a thing a white cis man previously famous for seasoning his steak weird said yesterday to an audience of 2.4m people, and it helped to be reminded that people are getting it, even if the system is rigged to override their voices.

And I hate to see a cheater win.
