I had the pleasure of chatting with the talented, beautiful, intelligent, charming (I could go on and on) Princess Weekes and Elle Literacy for my latest video essay about cannibal women. You can watch BOTH FULL discussions on my Patreon now! That's almost two hours of exclusive footage, not to mention all the other videos I have on there. 🤍

New thumbnail for the new video📓👩🏾‍🏫 Just in case you missed it!

This video is all about dark romance (no, not just the most controversial titles). It covers the centuries long history of the genre, the structure of it, and its literary tropes. Why is this type of romance so evergreen? What does it say about desire? What are its limits? By contextualizing the genre in pop culture and broadening the lens through which we view it, I implore you to consider: in addition to criticizing the genre for its harmful politics, how else can we contend with the work?

TLDR: I put my English degree to use for real this time 😗

Israel is illegally blocking food, water, and humanitarian aid from the people of Palestine, which has created a man-made famine for Palestinians. Ahmed, who lives in Palestine, sent me the following message. You can read more of what he said in the pictures below. I'll add image descriptions in a pinned comment.

"We drink more water than our bodies need, not out of thirst, but to trick our stomachs into feeling full. We go to bed at night with empty stomachs, with nothing but patience and pain to carry us through. As for the so-called "American aid drop point," we in Gaza now call it the "Death Trap." Every time people gather there in hunger, more lives are lost--killed by Israeli forces, often working alongside US military presence. How can we explain to our children that this hunger is not our choice? That we didn't fail them? That the hunger gnawing at their bodies is not fate, but a weapon being used against them? We are a people who love life--just like you do. But today, we are fighting death every moment: through hunger, injustice, and isolation."

There's striking similarities happening in Sudan and South Sudan. In terms of the latter, more than half the population, over 7 million people, are facing acute food insecurity. Famine has been declared in Sudan's Darfur. Healthcare facilities in both countries are being destroyed, alongside civilian infrastructure. Millions of people are being forcibly displaced. They're driven from their homes, lives, and loved ones.

Remember when I had a side channel? Apparently neither did I. I posted something new for the first time in years over there! It’s about the Times Square statue that caused a lot of drama. 😬
