So a lot of you know that I have a Patreon. If you didn't, uh... you do now? I originally launched it for my comics, but it kind of transitioned to being mostly focused on my Witchcraft podcast years ago -- because that's where I had extra content I could give folks -- but it's overall just for "me" in general.
Anyways.
My goal for the last year has been to increase the "value" for Patreon patrons, with all paid tiers getting access to a copy of Super Awesome Action Heroes, and the five dollar and ten dollar tiers getting access to my novels (at different times -- the five dollar tier patrons get them on a year delay).
For a while I had been doing Patreon exclusive "vlogs," but those didn't last just because I literally ran out of things to say in them. I mean, I'm boring. The only eventful stuff in my life is the eventful stuff happening to all of us right now. Back in April, I think I came up with something fun that I've now done two months in a row.
And that's record reaction videos to episodes of The Pagan Invasion.
You see, for the April episode of BS-Free Witchcraft I did an episode on the structure of Satanic Panic propaganda, and used the first episode of 1991's The Pagan Invasion as the example to illustrate my points. For that episode I needed to, obviously, rewatch that first episode for research.
Rather than just watch it in private though, I recorded my rewatch as a commentary and reaction video and posted it as a Patreon exclusive video. And even though the podcast has moved on from the topic, folks asked me to react to episode two... so I did that last week. I fully intend to review the whole series on my Patreon now, and each one of my videos ends up being like two hours long. I don't know if I'll get a chance to do one every month, but I plan to get through the whole series.
Honestly I'm not sure why I didn't think of doing something like this before.
So yeah, we're doing fun stuff there. Oh, also, before I forget to say something -- July is the annual Q&A episode of BS-Free Witchcraft, and I need listener questions. If you have something you want me to respond to on the show, just send it in via the show's contact form by July 11th 2025.

I read the comic before I saw the title. “Laziest coup ever” made me laugh heartily, I’ve actually been in a situation similar to this with a non-profit I once worked with. I became the entire Board for about a day and had only started as a volunteer a couple weeks prior. Outstanding level of incompetence they displayed.
I want to see Perry’s face now. I feel like there could be a fight down the road which may involve Lynn resolving the issue her way. This looks like a funny story that’s going to unfold into 1 hell of drama and by doing so it’s going to progress Bork Con’s recruitment a lot.
Different places have different rules. I know at our university, a Club needed a President, Vice, and Secretary. Think was 4 additional students who needed to be involved to create a club. Not sure the requirements for continuing one, nor what happens if a club fails to meet the requirements.
Well this is also taking place in late January, so the club was active in the fall when it scheduled the meetings. I was originally going to have a line about the constitution not mentioning a minimum quorum, but Lynn’s wall of text was pretty long in panel 2 already.
And technically Ruth just replaced the President. Any other club officers technically still have their positions.
(When I was writing this I actually pulled my alma mater’s Anime Club constitution and read it to check if this story was plausible, and it totally could happen there!)
Works for me. So long as none of the other club members (former members?) object, could go quite smoothly. If they do object however, could make for a bumpy ride.
