DISCORD LINK & UPDATE (WITH HINTS TOWARDS BIG ANNOUNCEMENTS!)
Added 2025-02-03 22:47:59 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
Just a little tease—I’ll be revealing one of my two big announcements at the end of this post, along with when the other one will officially be announced!
First, a huge THANK YOU!
We've had an influx of new Patrons after my Emilia Pérez video this week, and I just want to say... truly, thank you. It means so much. Erin (my fiancée) and I have been feeling pretty stressed and worried about money these past few months—especially with, well, everything happening in the U.S. right now for trans folks. While that stress isn’t disappearing anytime soon, your support has given us not just financial relief, but emotional hope. We’re incredibly grateful and honestly overwhelmed. I wish I had better words to express just how much you all have meant to us these past few days. 💜
New to Patreon? Here’s the Discord!
Since we've got so many new folks, a bunch of you have been asking for a link to the Discord! I usually post a fresh one at the start of each month, so perfect timing. Here’s the latest invite:

Upcoming Videos & Announcements
I've got three videos coming in February, culminating in a big announcement at the end of the third one (one of the ones I teased last month)!
First up—a condensed edit of my Squid Game video (which you’ve already seen here on Patreon). It’s to promote Patreon and also share the Matrix-related analysis I touched on in it, which I think deserves a wider conversation.
Next, a two-part series:
Part 1: Exploring the stories we’ve been telling in our culture.
Part 2: The stories we need to be telling as we try to imagine a better world beyond our fascistic present.
I've finished Part 2 (with Aranock’s help on the edit) and I’m currently working on Part 1. You’ll get early access to both here on Patreon!
At the end of Part 2, I’ll be making a BIG announcement. I’ll probably share it here first before the public reveal, but it’s a huge project that will be my primary focus for the next few months—and it’ll be off YouTube. That means my videos after February will likely take longer, but trust me, it’ll be worth it. (And it’s only feasible because of all your support—so seriously, thank you for enabling this project!)
What’s Next for Sex in Star Trek?
I’ve already filmed the next Sex in Star Trek episode, and I might hire Aranock or my other editor, Nick, to help with it. These videos mean a lot to me, so I’d love to edit it myself—but with this secret project taking up so much time, I may have to pass it off. Either way, expect that episode late March at the earliest, but more likely sometime in April.
Of course, there will be some smaller videos and After Dark content coming in the meantime!
One More Thing…
The Jumpgate podcast is officially rebranding as FRAK THIS PODCAST this month as Vera and I start covering the reimagined Battlestar Galactica.
Thank you all again. You’re the best. 💜
But I did mention I would tease the OTHER big announcement. All I can say is this - it was just announced in Variety that Nebula is doing a SIX EPISODE dark anthology series titled Sub/liminal with Pushing Daisies producer Dan Jinks... but they didn't announce who the directors for each episode are yet... interesting that... - https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/subliminal-tv-series-nebula-dan-jinks-1236287988/

2025-02-18 04:44:25 +0000 UTCSame thoughts from me! :) Sounds like we might need to wait for the start of next month for a new Discord link? Happy to support you and your creativity/analysis Jessie. Your work is important and awesome. Thank you for making the world a better place even amidst this awfulness. Live long and prosper.

2025-02-17 13:24:08 +0000 UTCHi Jessie, good luck with everything, it sounds really exciting. I'm so sorry to bother you, but I was too late with joining the discord server, and the invite link has expired. Is there another way for me to join?

2025-02-14 13:20:04 +0000 UTCgood luck with everything. You've become one of my favourite creators in the left tube area of yt and I really wanted your channel to persist. I also became a patreon just now, because of your emilia perez video, which was, as always, a veeery good one. If I can support stuff like this and help it thrive for just 5 euros a month, then I definitely will.^^

2025-02-06 14:21:14 +0000 UTCGood luck Jessie with all your creative endeavours. Finding the headspace when so much monstrous sh*t is going down is incredibly hard. But it is at times like this that our art matters most, if just to counter the c*nts that would destroy us! Every power to you and thank you for everything you do!

2025-02-05 04:44:08 +0000 UTCThat is awesome. Pushing daisies was such a great show I can't wait to see what this project is going to be like. Looking forward to your upcoming projects, especially that 2 part series.

2025-02-04 05:06:14 +0000 UTCThis is awesome! The first video I watched of yours was the 12 minutes game one and since then I’ve been subscribed. Wish I could’ve become a patreon sooner but now my finances are a little better and also I want to support your art and awesome analysis! From a queer mexican, thanks for the vitriol towards Emilia 😆

2025-02-03 22:55:14 +0000 UTCAll VERY cool!!! And I’m glad you’re pursuing opportunities off YouTube. I’m sorry that it seems to be necessary, but at least you’re in a place where some doors are open to you.
