Sisterhood 3.0

So Sisterhood 3.0 is an idea built out of the community on YouTuber, Liz's Discord server. It's a collab channel made to feel like the older days of YouTube and John and Hank's, Brotherhood 2.0.

I've volunteered to be a 'casual' member, which is really a low-pressure, low-commitment, way of being apart of a collab channel again. (One of my favorite YouTube past times, as you may or may not know.) 

The way the schedule is set up it'll be a slow-moving channel, each member posting only once a month. There are about 8 members, most of whom I don't already know.

Please enjoy my introduction video, it serves as a bit of a life update for me as well. If you end up subscribing, comment and let 'em know I sent you!

Threadwalkers by Joanna Volavka | Author Interview & Book Review

My friend Joanna Volavka is a published author! It's so exciting! I interviewed her about her book Threadwalkers and gave a bit of a review as well.

Will Fandom Save Me?

I'm back! Well, back to YouTube at least. It's those '4th wall'-Stream Of Consciousness-letting my brain unload...on camera...that fills me with peace. Well, until the video goes live and I get filled with: "what if no one watches it?" or (arguably) worse: "what if people do watch it...and judge me." Well, they will, and they'll likely disagree with your Fandom as Meditation theory. The point is, I tend to use YouTube as my place to be my most real and vulnerable on the internet, for better or for worse. This video doesn't explicitly state that I'm using fandom as a way to help regain some spoons, it's what I'm doing. And while I also did not mention it in the video, I rejoined Tumblr and I'm feeling a lot of feels right now, and that's a good thing.

The only videos from November - 2017

I only made two videos last month, and only one of them came out in November. I've been quiet online. Sometimes I wonder if I'm growing out of my old hobbies or if I'm just getting tired of them. Other times I wonder if it's my mental health that is interfering. At least I know why last month it was time for a break, and maybe one day I'll talk about it online. Until then, I do hope to return to my blog and my videos and maybe next year things will change for the better. I'm going to keep moving forward.

What I'm Thankful For
It's been a rough month for me but I have many things to be thankful for.


Every Day of NaNoWriMo
November was difficult this year but I kept writing. I filmed (almost) every day of NaNoWriMo.

Broadway Revival Macavity

Macavity! The antagonist of Cats. I've done Macavity makeup before, based on the video version of Cats. The Broadway revival of Cats is pretty similar to past western productions but many things have been updated as well. Macavity's costume and makeup, for instance, has developed in an interesting way. He almost feels more like an individual character than a force of evil. Here's my take on his new makeup design. He came out a bit too orange (the character is more of a golden brown I think) but it was an experiment in blending water-based makeup. I'm out of practice for blending...
I did this live on my Twitch channel and I also edited the application into a time-lapse below! Be sure to follow and subscribe so you don't miss my next live shows and videos!
