I have a really silly idea for a video that I don't think anyone will watch, but it's amusing to me so I'm keeping it in my back pocket for later.

Hey I made that thumbnail! Incredible video dissecting Emerald Fennell's disappointing foray into feminist discourse, Promising Young Woman. youtu.be/jhFjNS3SLkA?...

Here it is!

This bat flew into my room and started crying.

O hey I'm in here

I need to finish a Powerpoint presentation for a class and want to do almost anything else instead. Also filled with dread that this is a Powerpoint heavy class.

I made a short! What the hell did Lily Cole Ever do to you? #bronte #wutheringheights #lilycole www.youtube.com/shorts/WhiKL...

Super weird to get comments that are basically arguing that critique isn't useful. Like brother I didn't need you to self own in my comment section by essentially implying you think your own critiques are worthless.

this video is great and you should watch it

My friend @martymcflown.bsky.social just put out another great video! So well edited and put together. Please give it a watch www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiXa...

"Wuthering Heights"? I hardly know er heights. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiXa...

did a deep dive on the BuzzFeed Thirst Tweets promo junket series, turns out: I think it's weird!

Had a lot of fun with the thumbnail on this one. You should absolutely watch Ophie tell you how weird the Buzzfeed thirst tweet concept really is. youtu.be/LPMfN2gmQCQ?...

ah so that's where the colors come from, got it

I hold firm to the idea that new people are learning old information for the first time all the time, and it’s normal not to know things. If you’re a journalist (lmao with a Substack, no less) pretending the NYT is fair and balanced about trans people, you’re being malicious. Nobody is that stupid.

I think eventually I'll get faster at editing and not feel so bummed when everyone else and their dad has talked about the thing I am making a video about. I might be forty by then, but I'm having faith it will happen.

Wow such a shocking turn of events. Abuser joins the side that loves to protect abusers. Wonder how that happened

A really long term smear campaign that spanned decades and that included my itty bitty [university name] sci-fi and fantasy club hearing second hand fun facts like “if you play your cards right he hooks up with fans” and “other groups who’ve had him as a speaker advise utilising a buddy system” 🤢

skin of my goddamn teeth but i got a video out this month, not the biggest fan of the tiktok trend that spawned out of Reality Check

Ever since Singal’s first trans whinge piece with the nonbinary model in bisexual mood lighting I wonder about these illustrations Whose chin is that?? At least it’s not that Wired handshake piece

Thanks for yet again reminding me that I’m getting old 😫

You think you're feminist because you refuse to criticize a wealthy white woman who makes movies that show her privilege and biases, I think I'm feminist because I hold women to standards that the art they make should be good, we are not the same

When I was like 23 I had a coworker who told me, "would you rather be right or effective" and it rewrote my brain. And a lot of people on here would rather the moral victory than the practical one. And frankly, it's gross.

Me greeting the other trans dude at the urinal

I cannot even tell you how pained it makes me not to watch a Princess Weekes video immediately because I'm writing a script about the same topic that will absolutely not be as good as hers. Oy vey.

one of Ali's best videos, and if you're already subscribed you know what a high bar that is.

Made a video about Edward Scissorhands and Johnny Depp! Here you go! youtu.be/wQKincT8_sw?...

Some amazing work from Little Shop of Ali. youtu.be/wQKincT8_sw?...

Watching back clips for the ANTM documentary and am a little embarrassed, I fully thought Zakiya Gibbons was one of the models.

If I can get a friend to drop me off at the theater I might just bite the bullet and pay for goddamn "Wuthering Heights" because the 🏴‍☠️sites are all getting blocked. Debating with myself if taking a pen and notepad would be kosher or if it bothers my theater etiquette sensibilities too much.

Seeing guys claim that AI is *already* intelligent and capable of original thought really gives the game away. It’s not about waiting for the technology to miraculously become better, it’s about convincing you it’s something that it’s not

I hope New Yorkers will challenge Mamdani about this. Too often, people feel they need to be absolutely for or against a politician — ignoring their missteps or throwing them out with the bathwater. You can like and/or believe in someone and still challenge them to deliver on their promises.

of COURSE there's a technology the left is excited about

we need to look carefully at how the internet was fully hoodwinked into falling for an abuser’s narrative and shitting all over Amber Heard by Epstein’s crisis PR people we need mea culpas. we need retrospectives. we need accountability.

Which is not to say the movie is going to be fascist, OBVIOUSLY not, but there’s something to be said about the resurgence of “MEN are like THIS…. and WOMEN are like THIS!! Haha incompetent husbands are NOT made for childcare xD” comedy and the timing thereof

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

Crazy that the only 🏴‍☠️copy of Wuthering Heights 2026 I could find online is on a random website and entirely Russian language without subtitles. I feel like this is such an odd delay for a major release. All the reddit threads about finding a copy are a clusterfuck as well.

Listening to my audiobook while I draw and I did clutch my heart at “Is Mr. Heathcliff a man? If so, is he mad? If not, is he a devil?” Like damn Isabella's letter is horrifying.

I want that artist who does the really detailed anime political yaoi to do this one. They’d be so beautiful.

Emerald Fennell saying she based Heathcliff in her movie off a personal fantasy does not make that choice apolitical. The fact that this woman cannot fantasize sexually about a likely Rromani or South Asian man is in fact DEEPLY political and super common.

I put off even trying to seek transition care for so long and Gavin here thinks it’d be best if i had to wait another year because some neuroscience paper stopped checking at age 25 as an arbitrary cut off

Ok but detained for what crime exactly?

I drew this creature last night.

if these people had to provide three citations each time they referred to the behaviors of the left, journalism would be over. There would be no more journalism

New response to any criticism of my podcasts just dropped

I while an atheist and fairly passionate about the separation of church and state i stayed the HELL away from the uni atheist club because all they wanted to do was debate about sexist crap and loudly support rape culture. Fish rots from the head, turns out.

Chadwick Boseman and James van der Beek both died in their 40s of an illness that's treatable if a colonoscopy catches it but almost no insurer covers them for people under 45, this is what Engels meant by "social murder"

It really has been “interesting” to watch people who want to be taken as critics just Kanye Shrug the conversation about Heathcliff’s ethnicity so openly and dismiss it as keyboard warriors or just nagging book purist. I know online audiences are frustrating and if you like the movie fine, but JFC

When I started drafting my review of WH, I was going into the idea of being more nuanced and taking the movie for what it was. Having seen the movie--I am annoyed that this is the result people were being racist and co-signing whitewashing for. Y'all good?
