The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them

Spending my thanksgiving alone so I decided to keep occupied and that turned into making a mini EP??? It’s somewhere in the realm of spoken word or alt rap if that interests anyone.

today’s information came out piecemeal, and people should be able to share their own situations on their own time, but I could share this much ^ as it is pretty cut and dry on the facts.
Teen Vogue also no longer has any trans staffers as of today.

“I don’t think I’ll ever have enough energy to do what I want” is something I keep wrangling with while doing screening interviews for this doc. Just the idea that I’ve gotta lock in isn’t enough, like passion is great but it isn’t enough. I have to start genuinely carving out time to rest OR ELSE.
