Hello amazing humans. All of my videos for today have been stuck in checking mode for hours and hours. This happened on my side channel on Sunday. It happens multiple times a week and it's super frustrating. YouTube Creator Support says there's nothing they can do to speed up the process because it is an entirely automated AI bot.

This process is supposed to take 20 minutes and sometimes it takes an entire day. This is the en-shirt-ification Cory Doctorow talks about. I'm so sorry that I can't do anything to speed up the copyright checking process. YouTube really makes it really difficult to be a creator who tries to work on any kind of schedule. I guess I'll publish when I publish?

I'm gonna go work on my kick starter and also zines for the afternoon. Meanwhile, videos are able to get cleared and published on ‪@ParkroseResistance‬ so hop over there if you're anxious to see me REALLY worked up today 😂❤️

OK folks, I want to nip this in the bud: I've gotten quite a few comments on my latest video about lead contamination in cinnamon, claiming that if you purchase Ceylon cinnamon (instead of Cassia) or organic cinnamon, you'll will be safe.

The 2024 study from Consumer Reports (linked in the video description) actually shows that some organic and some Ceylon still tested high for lead.

Also, I also had one commenter who wanted me to tell them how many cups of cinnamon they had to consume to get lead poisoning. It would be VERY irresponsible of me to try and make a claim like that. Especially considering there are varying levels in different brands and I can't tell you a magic number of how many tablespoons of cinnamon is gonna be a problem. You need to have that conversation with your doctor and see if it would be appropriate for you to get a blood test if you've been consuming large quantities of cinnamon.

Although the YouTube algorithm is not showing this video to hardly anybody, the comments that I am getting are really positive. It's gotten a lot more views on Meta platforms, where I am getting the same kind of feedback that I am here on YouTube: people would like me to make more non-authoritarian/Permaculture parenting focused content.

Is that something that would be beneficial for you? If so, are there specific topics or scenarios you would like me to cover?

I have been making parenting videos for a long time on YouTube and those videos never do very well, but I feel that the content is so important and I have a lot of experience in this area and I would love to be able to share more even if the algorithm suppresses those kinds of videos. So please let me know what you think. The more information, the more data points I get, the more I can focus on the specific areas of non-authoritarian parenting that would be most helpful for people.

I'll be LIVE today at 3pm Pacific. It's my weekly AMA and we can talk about anything in Permaculture: from pawpaws to parenting, so bring all your questions!

PS: I got tons of feedback on my video about raising sons, and people have lots of questions about non-authoritarian parenting so if you would like me to do a special LIVE specifically about parenting, please let me know and I can get that scheduled.

Hello amazing humans. Welcome to the first day of fall. I will be still getting videos out today because I'm going to be doing yardwork this afternoon.

How are you celebrating the autumnal equinox? I got my beloved FOB cranked up and my overalls on and I'm gonna get working on fixing up my garden.

I'll be LIVE at 3pm Pacific for my weekly permaculture AMA, Parkrose Garden Hour. This LIVE is the highlight of my work week. Please bring all your gardening questions and all your parenting questions and sustainable living questions. Everything is on the table with regards to permaculture.

Also, yesterday Ruth came to me and said Mom I filmed a video and I want you to put it on your YouTube. So thank you to all of the folks leaving such lovely comments on Ruth's video that came out this morning. She is going to have a blast reading your kind words. Okay, see you at 3pm Pacific!

Super busy today working on neighborhood organizing. That felt like something I needed to prioritize over filming videos to put on the Internet. I’m just about done and I’m gonna sit down to film here in a few minutes. Thank you for your patience.

To tide you over: Here is some of the work in progress on the mural Ruth painted in our entryway.

I'll be LIVE at 3pm Pacific today on ‪@ParkroseResistance‬ so be sure to hop over there if you want to talk about what's happening with AI, the midterms, etc etc today.

And for attention, bc YT likes posts with images, and bc I'm feeling a bit petty:

While I personally find hate-watching someone's content (Robert watches and comments on allllll my vids) to be the most pathetic form of parasocial behavior, I just wanna remind folks that hatewatchers help boost my content in the algorithm. They are willing to whittle away their life hours watching my content while they stew in their bitterness. And while I hope some of it will sink in- and I remain hopeful that nearly anybody can change- I get a particular kind of delight, knowing that they are spending their time staring at me on YouTube and not out causing harm. Thanks for always boosting my content, Robert, even if you are an absolute creep.
