Hi friends,
Here's the "May" Tangent, on liminal spaces. Truly I will try to get back on schedule by the end of this month. This one is the most high-effort Tangent to date. I've been working on it for the last week and a half. I just couldn't bring myself to half-ass this one, partly because I found myself getting strangely passionate about the topic, and partly because I'd outlined ideas for a similar video essay in 2020 that I never ended up making. So this was my chance.
The result is a Tangent that's 3/4 of the way to being a main channel video essay. I almost regret that I didn't just put in another few weeks of work and upgrade it. It would need a bit of pruning certainly, some reorganization, a script instead of an outline. But I think parts 2 and 3 in particular are almost main channel ready as they are.
For the next couple Tangents I'm really going to have to force myself to put in less effort, since the whole point of these is that they take only a few days, so I can post monthly content here while still having enough time to work on main-channel videos. I have to convince myself that it's okay to be incomplete, that I can always revisit the subject matter later on main. Or in other Tangents. I certainly expect I will plunder ideas from this one in future videos.
Anyway, this has been too much tangential preface to an already very tangential tangent. I'll stop typing now—enjoy!
Thanks as always for your support,
