I have a YouTube channel here -> https://youtube.com/c/lissakay
Because YouTube is very picky about what is allowed and not allowed, it will be primarily where I have videos from my travel adventures. I started it last summer, did one live stream from home, then posted some rather long videos from my visit to Universal Studios Orlando. I was editing some content from Fanboy Expo which I attended right after, and was recording content at Disney World when I got sick with Covid. Really sick.
It has taken all this time for me to get back in the saddle and get going with this again. I have tons of content waiting to be edited and posted from our trips to Hawaii and Disney, both from September and in January/February. It's a bit overwhelming, and I am trying to learn the technical aspects of creating and editing video. Covid brain is a real thing!
Coming up, I plan to have videos from opening day passholder preview at Dollywood, the Fantasci convention, another Disney trip, LibertyCon, RV ...
Hi!
Welcome to my little community here. I will be sharing stuff I find amusing or interesting, along with short commentary on current events, and links to my other endeavors - longer writing on Substack, videos on YouTube, and other projects I'm thinking about. I may do live streams here, or a podcast. Who knows?
My interests include nerd culture, travel, cats, knitting and fiber crafts, writing, music, and food, so any of those topics will likely pop up. It's a work in progress, so hop in and let's see where this goes!
Three years ago today, Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx stood in front of TV cameras and announced that life, as we knew it, was at an end. "Fifteen days to stop the spread" became weeks, became months, now years. There are some locales that still have measures in place purportedly to stop the spread of the virus. Some places still require masks or proof of vaccination to enter. People lost jobs, homes, family and friends.
We all now feel the effects from supply chain shortages, delays in medical care, reduced business services, inflation, economic devastation, and yes, even the banks failing this week. There is hardly any facet of our world that was not negatively effective by the lockdowns, restrictions and/or requirements in response to a virus with a 99.7% survival rate.
And all for nothing. Well, except that our governments now know that they can gain near complete control over the population by making us afraid of each other, and those who made millions, or even billions, from ...
For years, I have been pretty disgusted with the "Woke" or SJWs, and their supposed advocacy for oppressed people of all kinds. For the uninitiated, "Woke" is a description of people who wage war, both literal and figurative, on people who transgress certain unwritten rules, which then cast them as racist, homophobic, transphobic, sexist, misogynistic, and so on. It's Political Correctness on steroids, with a side of BPD.
An example: A woman writes on her blog about an upcoming trip to India. She describes her excitement over traveling to an exotic place, like going to Mars. The reaction to this was mind-blowing. Dozens of people starting commenting on the blog, saying she was racist, insensitive, was tokenizing brown people, exoticizing the country and more. The comments kept coming, with demands that she not simply apologize, but should also "do the work" to realize why her words were so hurtful, and "sit in her discomfort" while she works through to realizing that she is a racist, and must do what is necessary to become not just...
