A little announcement. (Patreon)

You might have noticed that my production schedule has increased dramatically. I've been putting out at least one video a week for the past little while, and I'm hoping to bump that up even more as time goes on.  This is quite a jump from my own release schedule of (hopefully) one video per month at best. Why the sudden change?

Something I've been a little quiet about over the past few months is that I've now officially transitioned into doing Thought Slime as my full-time job. Over the past year your generous support has allowed me to devote more and more time to making these incredibly weird videos, and I can't thank you enough for that.

I was a little nervous about this at first, because I thought perhaps my growth would plateau very quickly or that I was miscalculating the support people would be willing to give me. I've been throwing myself pretty deep into production (give or take a few health problems), and the results have been extremely encouraging.

For what I hope are obvious reasons, I don't like to think of what I do as a business. But it is something I hope to become better at over time, and something that I hope is important enough to people to validate the effort I'm putting in. I can wrestle with my self-hating bullshit (examples: "well ge'ez, am I really working class if I'm making youtube videos for a living?", "what happens when everyone figures out what a great big fraud I am?") but ultimately I think the audience is better served by pouring that energy into the things I make for them rather than selfishly hoarding it to hurt myself with.

Besides, everyone knows what I fraud I am, and they don't seem to mind.

Making more content allows me to try riskier or weirder stuff without feeling like I spent a month on a video that nobody liked. It lets me do weird one offs or test the waters with different styles of video than I've been known for (take for example my latest foray into become the world's most powerful and vivacious beauty influencer). It has been good for my mental health, and my artistic sensibilities.

All in all, life is pretty sweet for me right now. I've you've every supported me or this weird little job I have, thank you for your role in that.
