Once again, there is just so much wonderful content and great vloggers on youtube. I really could keep filling in everyday with new videos, but I hope Erin finds more time to keep the site fresh and active. I certainly am doing as much as I can, which can really be hard to find the time to put the work into contributing for a website, especially while trying to find real work for my own life.
However, I will share with you one of my favourite vlogs, Red is Dead.
"Red Durkin, winter shut-in, explains her seasons depression and ruminates on Julie Bindel and other jerks. Music by: the Mint Chicks "
Note: this article will talk about sex. And be rather disgusting. So be sure to send your thanks to New Hampshire representative Nancy Elliott.
So I was reading my twitter feed today, and noticed a tweet from ZJ. Now if you don't know ZJ, you should head over to ZJ's youtube page. If you're an athiest, you'll love ZJ even more. ZJ's videos are pretty much about disproving religion, but that's not what the tweet today was about. When you watch one of ZJ's video, you'll know why I like them so much. (have you noticed I've been avoiding pronouns ?) ZJ hasn't disclosed what pronouns they like to use, or whether they identify as genderqueer or something else. Bascially, ZJ doesn't limit themself to one gender.
Anywho, so I'm browsing through my feed, and I saw this:
Hello again. I just wanted to take this opportunity to give a shout out to a friend of mine, Elija. Previously Erin feature him in a video of the week, which was pretty amusing. He found it funny, said something like "wow, I feel so popular!"... Anyway, he's really busy with school work and art projects, so I figured I would take a moment and share his wonderfully amusing and insightful blog.
I just find it so fascinatinating the idea behind it, and if you are lucky enough you may stumble across the sidewalk scribbled in chalk the address somewhere. But if you ever have something you want to post in a letter, and share a love for the written word, there always is at least someone you can write to about anything...
I made a joke about a hilarious blog I wanted to do or send to him... At my work i constantly find people's discarded grocery lists and think they would be equally as fascinating to collect.
For example:milk, eggs, ninja books...
But anyways, he said it was ok if I spread the word around here about the experiment, so i hope you would consider checking out the extremely exciting work of Elija Montgomery, and this photo is a ridiculous and a true representation him...
As the forums reach their 1,000th post I am starting to realize that they're in need of a pretty big overhaul. There are a lot of sections that just aren't being used and even more sections that could be overhauled to be of better use and make information much more accessible and easy to sift through.
So my question to you gentle reader is this: What would you like to see on the forums? Is there a specific section that you'd like to see? Are there different features that you would use?
Let me know if the form of a comment and I will do what I can to make these forums something to be proud of.
This week I'd like to give a shout out to a member here at grishno.com, Emma. Her video was very well done and I hope to see much more great stuff on her channel.
