Let me share my attempt at weight loss and the effects weight shaming has, especially when it's done by doctors. I've been trying to get treatment for low metabolism either through gene or hormone therapy. And this is a dramatic re-enactment of my experience.

One day, I think I will make a media literacy video on the fandom of Doctor Who. How there's this large fandom who just don't seem to understand the difference between writing, storytelling, and stories. It's always fascinating and heart breaking to see a fandom argument in the wild.

I'll be honest now. Hearing the white countries argue about whose weather is hotter, as someone in a not white country, sounds like this.

My brain is quite borked this week. Can't even remember to do simple stuff like pinning this video I made dissecting Andy Weir and Project Hail Mary, and how wealth and privilege can twist a person's perspective on social issues. youtu.be/-iwtuJJoJ14

Andy Weir was interviewed by the misogynistic Critical Drink when the Project Hail Mary movie came out. It was such an eye opening look into how the privileged and wealthy that I made this video to talk about how money twists perspective. youtu.be/-iwtuJJoJ14 #VideoEssay #MediaLiteracy

My entire life in one screenshot now.

Honestly, I've been kind of tilted the last few days because I took on this indie video editing gig pro bono. I'm an indie at heart, so I know how hard it is to get manpower for these projects, so I always hand out pro bono work if I have the time. Anyway, it's a music compilation video. 🧵1️⃣

With the whole AltNOAA nonsense blowing up, I think it's a good time to remind everyone they are a problem, but not the only problem. And they issue is not just the lies, but the real erasure of actual resistance of real #AltGov from history through their noise.

YouTuber: I took pictures of random people in public. Me: Okay... creepy. YouTuber: But I don't want to doxx anyone since I'm a privacy advocate. Me: Oh, that's sounds good. YouTuber: So I will run these picture through generative AI to make a cartoon facsimile. Me: Privacy advocate how???!!!

Suraj has a point.

For me, who was raised alongside the internet, Norman Rockwell's paintings have always been associated with racism and pro nationalism. It's always been shown to me as overtly white, for certain Americanism, super Christian, & centred on nostalgia. Now, it's of how long copyright damage artists. 🧵1️⃣

I had to have a little sit down today as it dawned on me it hasn't even been 1 year.

If the way a fascist leaves office is death by old age or natural causes, they won.

I'm starting to enjoy getting blocked.

The Trump administration is once again weaponizing law enforcement against my hometown. I'll keep my eyes open for mutual aid and other ways to help, but right now, please spread the word and help shed light on Minneapolis.

Perhaps the most disgusting thing the UK has done so far. They removed treatment after telling the kids they would not, and used the lack of other treatment options THEY REMOVED to justify it as outside their treatment wheelhouse. Disgusting.

MIT offers free courses online. No registration required. But not everyone has internet access. See if your local library, community center, faith venue, etc. know about this program. If not, let them know so they can share this resource with everyone. #SchoolSky #Learning #Free ocw.mit.edu

A trillionaire. A bloody trillionaire. Do ya'll even know how much money he has? He can hand out all the money needed to solve the global poverty crisis, and STILL be a trillionaire.

The only thing that killed Doctor Who is a portion of its fan. The incredibly loud, white, misogynistic, and racist portion of its fan. And maybe Chris Chibnall's writing.

The first 5 people I'll eat when it's time to eat the rich. 1: Sundar Pichai 2: Elon Musk 3: A senior editor for The Economist 4: Calvin Cheng 5: A random landlord

Google is attempting to destroy app developers. I'll try to make a short video breaking down the social ramifications of this ASAP, but for now, you can read about it here. www.change.org/p/stop-googl...

Just found out Gundam the Witch from Mercury has Yuri, so now it's lined up in my to watch list.

If you tell me "Google told me" now, I will not believe you.

This is probably the pettiest thing I've ever done, and I'm the guy who made a spreadsheet to meticulously track how much one specific Facebook account sucks.

I cannot stress how incredibly stupid what Google is about to do is. It's on par with renaming Twitter, X. "Tweet" used to be a verb! We use "google" as a verb for "internet search", and Google is getting rid of the "internet" and "search" part. I would short their stocks now if I had more money.

Google force fed users their AI searches at the top of the search results. Now claims billions of users so it's changing everything to AI. It's like a shopping mall noticing everyone using the front door and deciding to change every shop to sell doors.

One of my biggest peeves is when white people call chiropractic "Eastern medicine". That shit was invented by some white dude named Daniel from Iowa. The "eastern" version is called "bone setting". You now know it internationally as a subset of osteopathic medicine.

MUTUAL AID REQUEST! Recently, Eva was assaulted and her jaw was broken. Some of you may know I have also suffered this same injury and it has impacted my whole life for decades, so I know that it's very important that Eva get good care. If you contribute $50+, I will send you signed book plates.

Doing a deep dive on a company called PocketFM. If there are any writers or voice actors who have experience with them, especially regarding their use of generative AI and problems with payment, please contact me. #writers #voiceactors

Constantly being shocked at how a story about a boy going to magic school has a real world body count that is not 0.

A video essay dedicated to Japan, a culture that raised me that I've never been to.

Everybody, remember to hound AltNPS for the receipts.

I do my best to no longer do debates. I only do lessons. I've come to the conclusion that debates are just not effective getting things to change, because both sides are trying to be proven right, instead of learning if someone is wrong.

Another banger article on AltNPS by @jjoycelynch.bsky.social as his superhero person @altwatcher.bsky.social. And I keep remembering their damn Durango fanfiction and it gets my blood boiling. So I wanted to deconstruct AltNPS's current method for grifting, for old times sake. Out of spite. 🧵

Religious fundamentalism is a suicide cult.

I firmly believe that we slipped into the evil timeline when @gailsimone.bsky.social's Alysia Yeoh, a trans Singaporean, didn't become Batgirl. Her popularity would have caused SG to enter a progressive age, and thus, risen me to become a benevolent ruler of the world. In this essay I will...

The one year I don't go to Doujima is the one year I don't get to see a convicted PDF get beaten up by Yuji from Jujutsu Kaisen.

Lack context, says man, on a livestream.

I hope @gailsimone.bsky.social remembers that Gwenpoole is technically still an X-men so I can see my baby girl again.

YO! New media literacy thread in reply to an unwanted online conversation just dropped! Let's use my discomfort and sad online existence to talk about satire and why fascists likes to steal art!

So, this AI audiobook service has been pestering me to license my book to them. They don't seem to know about the investigative side of my YouTube videos. Do you think I can get them to spill before they catch on?

I was actually kind of dreading reading this, because I'm not a big fan of The Punisher. But @gailsimone.bsky.social really made me laugh with this page. Paul really does seem like he'd be a tech bro in a different world.

I would like everyone to know that in general, I also dislike MSW.

AI Bro: You cannot fight against new technology! Yes, because all new technologies are advancements. That's why we have skies filled with hydrogen blimps and electricity transmitted through Tesla coils.

Look, just end me now.
