Yes! You’ve read that correctly. I’ve more fully joined the aughts (ahem) by starting my own brand spanking new YouTube channel. “Why?” you might ask, given how adamant I am in my About This Site page about why I don’t want to engage with my audience. I suppose I could say that I feel there aren’t enough funny Canadian accents represented online, and jeez, I should join the ’20s by coddling my fragile, neglected ‘identity’, dammit! But really, there isn’t a specific reason. It was just something I had been planning to do for a while – and, to be honest, I was moved to action by a recent and well-done rendition of M is for Mother, by feminist YouTuber, Radical Ramblings. And I thank her both for her inspiration and for her bravery in risking heaps of online hate by covering this article and the dicey topic.

As of this day (March 22, 2023), there are two ‘videos’ (meaning audio files with a static cover page saved in video format). One is a reading of my short, flagship post: “Out There” Women, and the other is still private as I am considering replacing it with a clearer audio done using different software. And there is also a sweet little video (real video) of my rescue kitten, pre-adoption.

My plan at this point is to convert some of my written posts to audio form for those who like to listen rather than read, or for those who like to do other stuff while listening, or for those who really need the occasional dose of Canadian accent to feel like everything is right in the world 😉 I suspect that I will also post some more kitten videos, since I seem to have become a weird, obsessive ‘cat lady’. There may be other directions taken in the future, of course. For now, let’s see how this goes!

[Addendum: So, I’m a total YouTube noob, and in my effort to ‘engage’ more with the community, I didn’t realize that comments were disabled for my first post. That is remedied as of March 23, so come on by and say hello.]

I’ll post this in the Birth of a Feminist series, as it is a massive step in my feminist development.
