Sorry to keep banging on about this! I just have a few days left to meet the funding goal!

Blumineck is trying to fun a video series doing fun and serious historical and fantasy testing in fitted plate armour.

Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as “problematic” in class and our professor was like, “That’s cool, but ‘problematic’ doesn’t really mean anything. It means that the thing you’re describing has a problem, and in and of itself that’s not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else it’s not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like you’re trying to say that this is bad, but you don’t want to say ‘bad.’ Is that right?”

So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”

Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.

Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I can’t help but think of this professor being like, “Good starting point, now let’s get specific.” I think when we have to commit to saying “that’s ___” it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever we’re claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes it’s art, and it should be full of problems, because that’s what art is.

Not my Channel but a very kind person put videos up on Youtube of all songs performed at the Hay Festival on Friday - in case anyone has yet to find it

Edit, not all songs, 8 of 10, still good!

Share your videos with friends, family, and the world

You don't get to play damsel in distress. That's my job.

Discworld adaptation where they put a vape pen in Lord Downey's hand like they did with Cardinal Tedesco. Do you see the vision.

I’m in disbelief, full of joy and fucking nackered.

The Amazing Devil were ✨incredible✨ last night. I still cant really fathom that I saw them live. Unreal. And we got a new song too, so the new album hype is real!

I had a huge panic attack during the set and had to cling to my boyfriend for dear life with a fan blasting directly in my face but I managed to stay for the whole set and cried my eyes out for all my favourite songs!

And thank you to everyone in the queue who made incredible things and handed them out to everyone - I’ll treasure them forever.❤️

Love you all!
