IT'S DONE! Here's the mp3 for my Critical Role parody of "Before He Cheats," called "Where She Sleeps"! The music video should be released tomorrow if all goes according to plan... and if not, I'll at least give you guys early access tomorrow.
Hope you like it!

It's #ThankYouPatrons day!
I went back and looked at my first Patreon post today, from January 1, 2016. Nearly all of the people who commented on that post and became my earliest Patrons are still here to this day. I don't even know what to say to communicate how that makes me feel, but suffice it to say... that's some kind of...

Okay, this one's kind of preaching to the choir, but I've been wanting to make a video that basically just explains what you get out of Patreon (beyond just the rewards that you're signing up for.)
Those of you who are new to my Patreon in these past few months haven't witnessed me do a special offer or "new patron push" or an...

For September's second early access video, may I present my rant-iest rant yet: Unsolicited critique.
If you follow me on Twitter, you've probably already heard my stance on this. I'm all for thoughtful critique when it's been requested, but I have a major problem with people who deliver critique whenever they want, to whomeve...

For the first of the two August early access videos, I made part two of my new "Ginny Rants" series! This one is about "cringe culture." Did you know that when you try to tag a YouTube video with #cosplay, YouTube suggests the autofill #cosplay cringe? I believe the rise of cringe culture is the enemy of creativity and artistry....
