I know this is an old post at this point but I thought I'd share this story and this seems like one of the best places. I've watched most of your videos at this point. I bought your "no gods, no kings, no masters" shirt and wore it to my job, where I'm a teacher. Many people commented positively, but some students complained about the shirt to our DEI group. Our school is a predominately white school and the students are black and religious and they felt the shirt was just another thing that others them in an already marginalized setting. I would've liked to talk to them directly and I hopefully will get a chance at some point. I know the adult they talked to did a solid job connecting them to the anarchist background of the saying, but that background, like so much of the anti-capitalist movement, is really white. I haven't seen you tackle race in your videos. I think it'd be tricky to tackle, especially if you're white, but a video on positionality could be general enough to allow you to make some really interesting points like you always do. I'd be really curious to hear your thoughts on positionality/identity/empathy/etc.

Do you ever think about longer form content? Maybe, instead of 10 cryptids with a couple lines each per short video, have 1 cryptid per short really elaborate on what it is they believe in? Perhaps Kiki could outline more details on why or how he disagrees with the dragon, etc.
