Youtube!

About two months ago I was asked to create a video discussing chronic pain, disabilities, kink, and consent for Thomas Time / Yellow Couch Time. At the time I was TERRIFIED of being on video! "What if people don't like it? What if I look silly? What if, what if, what if?!" Eventually I got through my worries and created the video anyways, which can be seen below.

Now that you've had a chance to see the video, you can see that I basically covered some of the common misconceptions about disability and consent in kink spaces. Things like: what is actually required of a service animal, how to best navigate disabilities in your public spaces, and so on.

Now that the first video is behind me, I'm feeling a bit more comfortable about creating more. I've even done a few Facebook Live videos since! Below is one I did for ILSB-ICBB in the vendor room to show everyone what all the great vendors had available!

So now I'm giving this whole video thing a shot and trying to keep up with posting more often; I just have to figure out what to say! The silly thing is I can easily think of things that others might find interesting for other educators, but when it comes to my own topics I blank, every. single. time.

So I suppose in the meantime I'll keep trying to look at it as though I were helping coach someone else and try to not let my brain get in the way!
