the moment hits you like a cannon blast

Hi, all.

I’m so sorry for my prolonged absence. This site has been down for an extended period of time and I’ve been unable to post. I’m making use of its uptime to post while I can, clean out spam comments, update plugins, what have you so that hopefully it’s down less frequently.

It seems like nothing and everything has been happening all at once. I feel like I’ve been in a deep cocoon in my head since late June trying to make sense of who I am now after the last five years or so. I have been taking an extended hiatus from posting videos on social media due to burnout as well as explicit and detailed threats on my and my system’s life. Going viral like this in January was somewhat accidental, and I never truly intended to be a public figure of this magnitude, despite how inevitable it’s seemed since for pretty much our entire life.

So we’ve been resting and trying to make sense of where our life has gone, as well as where as it’s going now. I love Milwaukee and I fully intend to stay here for as long as the city and its people will have me, something I would never have said back when we started this blog, and we have some interesting things in the works, like an interview on the radio on October, a workshop in November, and a feature already lined up around our birthday next year.

I’m not sure when we’re going to get back into making short form content. When the time is right or we have something funny to say, we’ll jump back in. But now doesn’t feel like that time. I don’t feel funny anymore. I feel like a character in some lost Christopher Nolan footage, or something. (Hi, Mr. Nolan – if you read this, please consider setting and shooting a film in Milwaukee!!)

Okay, maybe I feel darkly funny, at best – which is our specialty.

Stay tuned for more magic, which is coming.

You might have noticed that last 20 years of #meme culture and #goingviral on the #dotcons have been distractions, keeping us engaged while pulling us deeper into the #deathcult.

Many of us spent the last decade feeding this system, often without realising where it would lead. #Brexit and #climatechaos are part of the wider consequences of that culture.

The important thing now isn't blame, it's changing direction. Step away from the algorithms. Help build the commons instead.

Once upon a time, social media were the perfect channels for advocacy and making good causes go viral. Today? Not so easy... especially for sensitive topics that might encounter some adverse algorithms. The Jessica Colotl case is the perfect example of how advocacy on social media might be at the end of the road.

Remember when "going viral" used to mean that people liked a thing so much they shared it with their friends?

And now it just means the algorithm picked it and forced it into everyone's feeds.

In 2006, when Google Videos was trying to beat out YouTube, I went viral. For whatever reason, a video of me improvising a chicken dance in my underwear became part of the zeitgeist.

I chose to share my video on Google Videos. This ended up being a mistake. After my very silly performance had ranked a few million views or so, Google pulled it for obscenity. Until then, it was one of the top-viewed videos, beating out Paris Hilton’s first music video and the death video of Steve Irwin (I still miss him so much!). When I appealed the decision, Google reinstated my video, but at a completely different URL. It never again regained its notoriety, which is just as well, I suppose. I was getting all sorts of hate mail and creepy commentary.

My favourite negative commentary came from a couple of university students in the US. They used my video as part of a project demonstrating the problems of alcoholism in sororities. They gave the presentation to their class, and once they got to the video of me dancing, the prof couldn’t help but laugh. He was a personal friend of mine and knew that I was neither an alcoholic nor part of a sorority. I don’t know if the students flunked or not.

I think there’s a weird sort of irony that I was a professional dancer for a couple of decades, and this is what ended up as my most famous dance. Google Videos is long gone now, but you can still view my Internet notoriety on YouTube. https://youtu.be/Fnyh_Q8wtcc?si=sekCer5w3iNdSCl1
