Liz Cheney, Accidental Democrat “Hero”

I was motivated to riff on the bizarre phenomenon of progressives fawning over a hardline conservative because she declined to follow the bulk of her beloved Republican Party into loony fascist territory. I mean good on Liz Cheney for showing us it’s still possible to be a Republican with some sort of integrity.

But the other …

Bumbling towards the Apocalypse

FOUR ROCK-SOLID REASONS WHY ABORTION SHOULD BE LEGAL

This is the last of these essay-length videos for a while – they’re expensive to produce. I have somewhat mixed feelings about this one: there’s a lot I’d like to have done differently, given more time and money, but I’m starting to think I’ll always feel like that on release of a video. I’m pleased …

Women vs People with Wombs

What’s all this BS about menstruating people, birthing people, people with wombs? Philosophilia unpacks the argument with the word “woman”.

Video 2: Gender and Language

January’s video slid past the post of public release on the afternoon of the last day of the month – I had to whip the editor a bit, and I felt the lack of my social media manager, who was away with family. A week later I’m remembering (at a convenient time, at last) to …

Video 1: The Politics of Penetration

We dropped this, our first major video, on the 20th December, and so far we’re modestly pleased with the response. It’s topped 200 views in 3 weeks, which is not bad for a complete unknown with a very limited social media habit. The feedback from friends suggests it’s a little overwhelming and they have to …

Teaser 2

Curious about the politics of penetration? What is that, exactly? Is it rude? Is it real? Is it personal, political, structural—or all of the above?

We drop another hint here. Subscribe for more.

This is our very first experimental teaser video. We had a lot of fun shooting it (and a couple more), but the message, the media and the method are all still being refined, so watch this space. Words and production by Jack Laurian Pascoe, photography and editing by the Light Pirate.
