I wanted to spotlight all the people who contributed the rock opera. I gotta start with this lady who narrates the whole dang thing and has been an incredible personal support to me. We met when I interviewed her a bunch for various true crime shows and is a fine example of being a great human.
A follow-up video on how to donate since some people don’t want to wait until the official release date of May 1, 2026. The music is out there already anyway so why not? 🤣
PS- this video features about 5% more production value than my previous one, but about the same level of sloth-like energy.
Ok not my best work production-wise but I’m trying to get this thing across the finish line pretty much alone and while feeling like crap. 60 people from 13 nations?! That’s gotta be worth some donations to @teencanceramerica and @teenage_cancer_trust
So today’s existential weirdness occurred when I realized that between two cancer treatments and various living expenses, it basically costs a million dollars a year to keep me alive. I hope everyone thinks I’m worth it! ❤️
There's a lot more swirling around in my head, but this what I could get out.
Today on the blog:

I was going to wait to post this, I didn’t want to forget plus I’m just too dang excited about the release of the rock opera. Should be May and will be a fundraiser for @teencanceramerica and @teenage_cancer . I know a rock opera is kinda ridiculous, but it’s what the world really needs right now.
A tragic update from US Central Command:

I replied. Is that ok?
Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days.

"The disbelief that Trump could rise in America isn’t a cutesy personality trait; it’s a confession. A confession that you weren’t listening when Black and Indigenous people tried to tell you what this country is."

We are now 30 days beyond the statutory deadline for the full release of the Epstein files
I watched this interview and dude made no sense and blinked the whole time way through. Even he knows he’s just saying whatever’s he’s been told to say and it’s gibberish. 🤣
Of course he’s got a high and tight haircut and it isn’t because he’s a hipster.
If anyone was still pretending this isn’t just about excluding trans kids from public life, the Trump administration just opened a Title IX investigation into a Maine school district because a trans student is on a *co-ed* cheerleading squad.
A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand
Good Morning.
Don't forget to make good trouble.
I wish I could say I was surprised that Trump's regime invaded Venezuela.
I'm just not.

We best be prepared.
It’s the United States that needs regime change.
