Newsletter: Top 2023 Movies, Patreon & a Thank You

Because time is a human construct, the first month of the year is almost over, so for my fellow film nerds, here are my Top Movies of 2023. Please comment with your enthusiastic shock or agreement. Also, here's a nice little video countdown of The 25 Best Films of 2023 by film critic David Ehrlich.

Have you listened to the new Kali Uchis? She does not miss, as the youths say. Also, been re-listening to Depeche Mode as one does for several reasons. First, they're the sexiest. Second, it's a full moon and witchy things are afoot with the tarot readings I've been doing for y'all. As I said to a fellow Love Witch, may y'all find your Personal Jesus. Finally, I've decided to make a cover of one of their songs. Hopefully coming soon 🫣

I've updated the Patreon tiers. Gasp! You'll notice I added a new Top Tier for Black Phillip Witches which now includes Tarot readings, because as much I loved doing those, they take a lot of energy and time. I've also added a few other goodies for all tiers, like:

• Listening Parties
  
• Photos
  
• Vlogs
  
• Private Discord channel
  
• Monthly Magick circle
  
• Early access to new music
  

All of this is keeping me busy, but please allow me to get corny and say how grateful I am to you for watching and supporting my work. Being funded by my audience is an immense privilege I do not take for granted. It means every decision I make is done for creative reasons. Not traffic, not algorithms. So THANK YOU SO FUCKING MUCH for giving me that and I hope you're enjoying the trip so far.

Now that the feelings are done, here’s some fun stuff happening this month...

My new interview series starts this Monday! Anything could happen. It could suck or it could be awesome. I don't think it'll suck tho, because my guests are cool. Starting with Tiffany Van Goey, a neurodivergent artist, somatic practitioner, Tarotist, and fellow Geriatric Millennial Witch. We're getting deep, talking existence and a lil bit of music & witchcraft.

Upcoming Events for Patrons 💃

• Listening Parties - January 28 + February 8

  My monthly AMA is happening after my Disco episode. Since I just updated the Patreon tiers you may have some questions about that or aliens.
