has Natalie said anything about a tangent this month? She didn’t post anything on Patreon last month, or this month, and i’m not sure whether she’s taking a break? i feel like she would make a post if she was? i don’t have or use twitter to check if she’s said anything so idk what’s going on lol

Apologies to mods if this post violates rules. I just have no clue where else to ask.
Does anyone have the video Natalie posted on Twitter of Jordan B Peterson lecturing over some movie spundtrack? I think it was the Kundun soundtrack produced by Phillip Glass?

> J.S. Bach French Suite No. 4, Allemande

I follow this opera channel, and upon checking my subscription feed, I thought for a very hot fraction of a fraction of a second that Mother was treating us again...

in her latest video she's wearing a huge diamond ring in her ring finger

Hey folks

Natalie said in a stream, that she had played and streamed Chillas art karaoke, but I can't seem to find it. Does anyone know in which stream it is played?

Bonus question, if anyone knows which patreonstreams she also games a little bit, please feel free to tell me. We always want more Natalie gaming content in our house lol

This isn't bait or a joke I legit think this might be a decent place to ask. Preferably on Discord, Tumblr, or Reddit. I know there's a subscriber Discord specifically but what am I made of money

I spent the last two weeks making an album as kind of a joke partially inspired by internet culture and I ended up making a song about Contrapoints. It samples her playing Chopin. I hope she doesn't mind I sampled her (this is not a commercial endeavour at all, literally me and my macbook pro against the world) and I hope it's okay that I'm sharing this with you all here!

Just have fun with it!

Since Contra is at Lib Con I am wondering if she's doing any events? Like is she doing any speaking events or live streams?

I'm personally more on progressive side of things and not ra-ra liberalism! I feel liberalism has done a lot of good but I kinda hate the fact that I have to endlessly fight for my rights to exist and the hierarchies that seemly seems more or less oppressive. I felt that the past 10 years and the rise of the right and my disaftication had radicalized me a bit more than I would like to admit. Obviously, I would vote dem or any liberal party over a conservative or a right wing populist party. I just really hate conservatives more than anything else.

I'm pretty open minded to hearing new ideas and perspectives and I like how Contra talks about things.

I was rewatching incels, and its only just hit me that "that's a lot of baultimore-ian men who swiped right on a tran, what a DIVINE city" is a reference to divine from pink flamingos, who was also in baultimore

I was rewatching Envy recently and caught a line I previously passed over. Natalie was talking about MLK’s call for a balance between love and power, and the need for an emotional or spiritual value like love for humanity to counter our innate tendency for envy and retribution and keep humanity from snowballing into destruction (paraphrasing).

She then says “maybe I’ll do another video about love, when I’m in a better mood”.

This really struck a chord with me. In my professional life I do a lot of work at a fairly senior level trying to promote pro-social values and build coalition based on mutual understanding to prevent gender based violence .

I’ve often felt that the movement that I am part of sometimes focussed too much on the drivers of violence, and not enough on identifying and strengthening the drivers of love, respect and peace. The notion of power is also so closely associated with violence that power in our movement is commonly disavowed, which prevents love and power from being held together in balance and undermines our effectiveness in a range of ways.

It would be so amazing to hear Natalie’s deeper perspective on how the role of values like love for humanity (and perhaps other prosocial values) and embracing our own power (not just how much we are powerless) could help us work together and build something meaningful, rather than this constant fixation on “burning it all down”.
