The shift from "sir this is a Wendy's" to "just put the fries in the bag" indicates a cultural rightward shift; whereas the former is making fun of someone by implying they're a customer doing too much, the latter is making fun of someone by implying they're a *worker* & should know their place

To state what should be obvious but I'll bet isn't to everyone who watches this...
This is what the thought process of a racist who cannot possibly allow themselves to think they're a racist looks like. This is how they rationalize their behavior and deflect from cognitive dissonance.

This is an incredibly illuminating video on what we're up against.

There’s one thing I do to stave off the hedonistic treadmill of content creation and that is keeping my standards the same across all of my videos for what kind of engagement I wanna see.
They range from numbers to types of comments but so long as I’m hitting the very baseline of my engagement

I wish people would stop platforming people who don’t deserve a platform. Yes, making content about it is free advertisement and clout farming.
Wish we didn’t have to live through this weird scarcity mindset era where everyone believes that someone will make content about it so they might as well.

I have a brilliant plan. I drop my video the weekend before I go to Japan because if it flops (like my last video did. i'm still not over it btw thanks for asking) I will be in Japan.
If it does well, I will still be in Japan.
Holy fuck I'm so anxious for this video. :)

I wish that TikTok wasn’t as volatile as it was because creating long videos for TikTok has actually massively helped me with my perfectionism.
I film video and video goes out. As much as I love the longform process, it is very bogged down and the fear of my 4 month project flopping is too real.

I have a parasocial relationship with the person at my local fast food joint who makes the chicken nuggets from 10PM - 2AM because they’re perfectly cooked every time.

Whenever I need to film a longform video I put to use that advice of people saying you can tell yourself you can leave whenever you go to the gym but you have to go there first.
So I put on my makeup and nails. Set up my clunky ass teleprompter. Set up my camera.

The whole vshojo shit with Ironmouse is unreal. Not only is stealing from charity already evil. But targeting someone who is chronically ill and making her go through litigation and putting that stress on her is something else. I hope this gets resolved quickly and she can focus on herself again.

I know I've written a good video when it feels short when I read it but it's really 9k words long.

We really had 3 years of GOATS but they nerf Juno in a season. Thanks for nothing Overwatch.

There’s a part of me that feels like it’s time to “lock in” and take content a bit more seriously. But that part is always fighting with the “but you have so much fun doing this right now. It doesn’t need to be anything more” part of my brain.

I finished Acceptance from the Southern Reach series and I truly have no idea where the series can go from here. But the prequel book is definitely calling my name.

Even if it’s hard you have to deconstruct and grow from your hard emotions. It’s better to be a mess in your 20s than find yourself at 30 emotionally immature and unable to cope.
If you’re over 30, quote this with some life advice 🤌🏼
