Projects update!

Hey all! Just thought I'd give a quick update on projects since I haven't done one in a minute. I've gotten bogged down with writing several shorter videos rather than making the progress on The Mad & The Mentally Ill that I'd hoped to make, and the main reason is my own mental health. Perhaps ironically, the most common recurring hurdle for working on my essay about mad liberation is that I'm completely off my nut and keep experiencing huge mental health dips I need to traverse in the process of finishing it.

In the meantime, I've already put up one essay in text form about trans organising and where I hope people will go with building structures for trans liberation, it's called They Said On TV That You Aren't A Person Any More. I'm working on a piece about the ideologies of nations allied with Israel, which will probably be called Israel and Belief or maybe Israel, Belief and Action, and I was suddenly hit with a lot of inspiration today to write something about the disconnect that people very invested in understanding and fighting against The Horrors feel when asked to pay attention to popular culture, and I've almost finished my first draft already. That one doesn't have even a working title because it's appeared so fast. All of those will get filmed as a block and released on YouTube with probably two week staggering, but they'll be up here as soon as they're written and then edited respectively.

After that I am going to finally finish The Mad & The Mentally Ill, I promise I'm not torturing myself with it, it's just a topic that's very important to me and it's going to be a long video so I'm invested in getting it right. After that, as I think I've said before, I'll be getting onto a project fully directly in my wheelhouse about misinformation and the internet - it's currently called Misinformation & The Internet. Then I'd like to get around to making the next Monster Men, which I've been picking away at slowly for several years now at this point. That all should take us well into 2026, so hopefully that's enough of an update for the projects upcoming and the direction of the channel for now. Feel free to shoot me any questions, make sure to subscribe to my substack if you haven't already and of course tune into Red Planet where we talk in much more immediate and practical terms about what work needs to get done to make a world we all want to live in.

Love and solidarity,

Sophie
