Gotta get better at posting updates here. Working on a lil Youtube video discovery project. Community-submitted set of channels, filter videos based on tag/duration/etc, share recommendations with friends. Been a lot of fun to work on. Sick of seeing AI slop in my sidebar.

Ah yes, thank you for giving me a FRIENDLY button, thank you for helping me generating this NORMAL SENTENCE. This is not a weird way to propose a collaboration at all. People talk like this!

AI suggestions want me to be a robot in a business suit. It might not be "professional" but... I want to talk like myself? I want to use my own jargon? I want to *be an individual?* Is that ok?? What if, instead of making tools to homogenize speech, we make room for many modes of expression?

Love having a perpetual corner to throw a toe on whenever I need a break. The physical interaction between human body + Wall To Go Up will fascinate me forever.

Ok sorry but the phrase "read theory" is always deployed in the most aggravating interactions. In my experience there is a solid correlation between people who use that exact phrase, and people who actually give time to a real campaign. I might just be incensed over old organizing wounds lmao.

Somehow, in the 3.5 years I've lived in my car, I haven't made a video about it. I've certainly developed thoughts about community building & care, land rights, idk, minimalism? Going nuclear on your own life for the sake of mental health?? Lol, someday words will happen and that'll be neat.

Of course I have a spreadsheet tracking published and upcoming videos. Since I started my channel, I've published between 4 & 6 videos each year. We're at 6 this year. I want to break my record. 😂 😤

It was fun to learn a new skill! Mocha feels like pulling teeth sometimes, but the end result is very cool.

This is the first time someone's commented "I think I know you??" and has been correct 😂 Wild experience reading this! And on a video with sub-5k views, too.

Someday I'm going to write a book and 12 people will make this video about it. I'll lay in a hole for a while.

Wow, good idea Youtube. I shall simply make The Anthropocene Reviewed Podcast. I hope no one has thought of doing that yet.

Hey YouTube, why do you tell me this by default? To make me feel bad? Why do you think I want to know this? Someday I should get back to UX videos and make one about the hostile and thoughtless UX of YouTube.
