Thank you to those thoughtful creators who made me who I am today
Eventually I hope to be able to give money to the creators who've been a positive force in my life.
Like fr- people like Sophie from Mars, Jacob Geller, Sam from We're in Hell, Luna Oi, Cheyenne Lin, and Abigail Thorn(philosophy tube) all have made my life better- with their funny and insightful writing, and helped develop my critical thinking and sense of self.
Honestly I don't know what kind of person I'd be today without the positive role models and sources of inspiration they have been.
Of course there are a lot of other positive figures in my life- like nurturing parents and compassionate friends- but as a young trans person, 2nd gen immigrant, who is very into philosophy and leftist political action, I can't think of any better corner of the internet to have grown up on.
If you haven't seen any of their stuff I highly recommend checking out their videos, the quality and nature of the work they produce is truly astounding. And if you are a long time viewer like me, and you have the money- consider giving to their Patreons/funds, they make the majority of their works free for the public, and contributing helps them keep doing that.
Anyway if any of you are reading this thank you from the very bottom of my heart!

By the way, we have featured Fish Stick before, HERE. The clip seems to have disappeared, but the text and links of the post are still there. Kinda weird, I don’t know where the MV went? (There isn’t an error message or file removed notice, huh) Anyway, it was a song from their previous album. =)

A One Mann’s Movies review of “The Little Mermaid” (2023).
My disdain for the Mouse company in repeatedly raping and pillaging their animated classics to produce often tawdry live-action remakes is well known. (I described “The Lion King” as “gorgeously pointless”). And the gestation of this one has not been without controversy with the casting of the black Halle Bailey generating a twitter…
The Little Mermaid Review- A Visually Stunning and Incredibly Sounding Disney Live-Action Remake
The Little Mermaid is the latest live-action remake of one of Disney’s classic animated films from the 90s. The Little Mermaid is an empowering story for little girls and an indication that love transcends all odds. Disney has worked with Rob Marshall a few times in the past on Mary Poppins: Returns and Into the Woods, but this may be the best of their collaborations to date. He has transformed…
