Thank You All So Much
Added 2022-10-15 03:21:57 +0000 UTCHey everyone. So I'm still upset at what happened today with the video, and I am going to have an update video tomorrow that I think will go into more specifically why I'm upset, specifically at YouTube for allowing this to happen, and what I'm intending to do to get the video seen. It's been honestly upsetting, considering I really was hoping for this to be done today, cause I've really just needed for my own mental health to be free of this video, and I was looking forward to having that release that you get when you put a video out into the world today. But sadly, that was not to be. So I'll discuss that tomorrow.
Yet, the silver lining in this, as has so often been the case when stuff like this happens, is just seeing the support and kindness I've gotten from the community here and on YouTube. Despite these places being awful, there are always so many kind folks. Thank you to all of you here who came to support me here on Patreon today in light of everything, it really means a lot, especially in the face of all this stuff.
I'll be honest, this antagonism and culture war and transphobia nonsense that's be getting worse and worse lately has started to take it's toll on me, but it always helps to be reminded how many more kind and supportive people there are out there. You all rock, and thank you for helping me, and giving me the conviction to keeping pushing forward.
I also wish to say, I've gotten a TON of messages today. Normally, I try to respond to everyone, but it's a bit overwhelming (in a good way) right now, so I'm going to read everything you all send, and try to respond to what I can, but I am sorry if I can't respond to all of it. But it's all being read, and it means a lot, each and every one.
Hopefully, this video situation can get resolved quickly, and I can move on to my next projects that I've been wanting to start on; namely ones that are less about right-wing culture war stuff, and more about doing things that inspire joy; both in me creating them and hopefully for those who watch it.

I don't know for how long I can do this... but I will for as long as I can. Being Trans in Bolsonaro's Brazil is kind of hard.

2022-10-15 23:57:43 +0000 UTCYou have my support and empathy Jessie. I’m here for you if needed. Looking forward to your next project full of joy.
2022-10-15 19:04:32 +0000 UTCYou are an amazing creator, and the only actual reason I haven't subscribed to your Patreon was that I haven't watched Star Trek in a while. But, I'm a fellow queer neurodivergent person, and I've watched your videos for ages, so this incident finally tipped the scales. Hugs! 💗

2022-10-15 14:15:19 +0000 UTCI've been watching and appreciating your videos for several months. Now, I'm a patreon. Take care of yourself, feel what you feel. Please know that many people are encouraged, informed, and inspired by your work. You are awesome and reach through many spectrums. I feel honored to support the work you do.
2022-10-15 14:13:52 +0000 UTCIt was a really great video Jessie, you clearly worked so hard on it and it deserves to be seen. Can we like sign a petition or something, there has to be a way to pressure YouTube into doing the right thing not only here but across the board. It's really important to the community at large that passionate creators like you are able to be seen and heard. I know it was very important to me, especially early on. Whatever happens know that you're appreciated! 💜💜
2022-10-15 13:52:47 +0000 UTCBe strong and you are a needed light in the world.
2022-10-15 11:54:35 +0000 UTCTo add insult to injury, you are not alone. There are loads of videos from this last week by YouTubers whose whole channel or even multiple channels have been demonetized out of the blue. Please only watch the playlist I made of what I found if you think it will be helpful. Everyone talking about what happened to their work is understandably upset. These are both older and brand new cases. YouTube RULES WEIRDNESS playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnyala9uhDMh4bBtCStCzRZyMcaSOXGSu

2022-10-15 10:57:33 +0000 UTCI was so mad when I saw your hard work get taken down- I was lucky enough to finish the whole thing before it did, and it was a work of art- I cried at the end. Seriously fuck YouTube. I hope they fix this but I have low expectations of that platform.
