MINI-HIATUS ALERT! I didn't get the chance to film the next batch of videos in a timely manner, so there's going to be about a week's delay. #cafae #cafaelatte #fae #fairy #witch

Honest-to-god, the boyfriend's line is a REAL THING he said to his victim. Also, not-so-fun fact: a woman who ends a man in self-defense or retaliation for SA/DV will be sentenced to TWICE as long as a man who ends a woman for rejection, cheating, pissing him off... #cafae #cafaelatte #prison

Sneak peak at my research for upcoming CaFae Latte skits! (Plus a cat tax.) Turns out the "Djinnology" book is not a collection of OG folklore like I thought, but MODERN stories utilizing OG rules/ideas, similar to what I do. Still a good read, tho.

Did you know one of the oldest recorded Wild Hunt stories was basically a traveler's log? An English courtier--Walter Map--was sent all over Europe for Henry II, and while he was at it he recorded local folklore--which makes him more of an early anthropologist. #ghoststory #fae youtu.be/J3s8oLLstOQ

TikTok's in a good place (for now) and YouTube's rules don't change until February. So the more I can stabilize between now and then, the better. #contentcreator #creatorslife #cafae #cafaelatte

Hmm, my stomach hurts. Is it: A) period cramps B) something I ate C) the fact that I've spent the entire afternoon researching Rowling's transphobia for a long-form YouTube video? I don't know, but an effective treatment to all three is a nap.

Having inmortal/long-lived friends seems like something that gets normalized, but you never truly get used to it. #cafae #cafaelatte #urbanfantasy #paranormal #immortal

Either no human is involved in TikTok's appeal process, or media literacy is SO dead. #TikTok #contentcreator

Tfw you get all pretty to record a YouTube video and go to the studio you rented...only to find the people who booked the next room are blasting music on speakers for their dance party. 🤦‍♀️ (It's okay; my booking got moved w/o charge and now I'm working on Heart of Silver to dance music. 📖💃)

You can really tell a lot about a man by his reaction to a woman being better than him at something. #sexism #feminism

Your regular reminder that Rowling uses her HP money to actively fund anti-trans legislation, and uses her platform to convince other people to do the same. #harrypotter #jkrowling

I've often said that a spouse and kids is many people's happy ending, but not mine. Mine involves a quiet library and 2+ dogs. (BIG ones, like shepherds or collies) #aromantic #aroace #queer

The straight answer: women were property and often claimed as war prizes (re: sex slaves). An argument over one is what triggers THE ILIAD (Agamemnon steals Achilles' rape victim and Achilles gets pissy.) The historic answer: that, and EVERYONE WAS GAY. #theodyssey #ancientgreece

Today is filming day. Which means all my energy is going to videos, but I have to post something here for Happy Algorithm. So, here, a lazy selfie while the footage gets uploaded to Google Drive for edits:

Zuko from ATLA and Luke from PJO were the first morally-gray antagonists I ever encountered, both coming from cultural/national systems that created monsters and needed to be fundamentally changed for a happy ending. Can't imagine why people are opposed to that now...

It can be difficult to tell fact from propaganda, especially when they take a real fact/statistic and spin it for their own needs. So keep practicing those media literacy skills and do your own research. (Avoid ChatGPT; you know it hallucinates.) #journalism #politics #uspolitics

You'd think that after 3 years doing this full-time, I'd have a better understanding of how TikTok flips the camera, and could utilize that knowledge to place my characters in a way that doesn't require me to flip them--and the pre-established placement of certain injuries--in the later editing. 🤦‍♀️
