What Danny says here applies to everyone and everything in life.

It’s worth it to ask yourself if you’re showing up honestly, authentically as yourself, because our selfs change. And that’s okay.

What parts of yourself are you hiding in a closet? For me it’s the parts that I don’t like to acknowledge are even there. Feelings of unworthiness, guilt, shame. That big, scared teenage kid who I keep around out of love, even when he lashes out, or clings to what’s no longer serving me.

We’ve all let something that we know is wrong persist longer than we should.

I chose this part of our conversation because I’ve seen a rise in homophobia lately from celebs, athletes, and the government. I know someone out there needs to hear this. Happy Pride. 🌈

Lately I’ve just been focusing on breathing. Try it. Breathe deep.

Offer unconditional love for yourself no matter what comes up. Know that you are never truly alone. And no matter what happens, you are loved. Try it on.

Now more than ever, It’s vitally important to remember that a hole can be fixed. That wounds can heal. Just because things feel overwhelming doesn’t mean you’re weak.

Focus on the air coming in, and the air going out.

Lately it feels like we are all forgetting to take the next breath. But life is happening all around us constantly. We are so inebriated by our phones. It’s nice to slow down, and just be.

They are trying to exasperate us to the point we feel like giving up.

And maybe that tactic would work, had I not known and loved so many powerful men and women who fought too goddamn hard for us to give up now.

Think of all the human beings that came before us who stood strong against impossible odds and still succeeded. When you think of how far we’ve come, we gain perspective that we’ve actually defeated worse.

I choose to keep going because I hope for a better future, even when I don’t always believe in it.

And I desperately, perhaps selfishly, need you to keep going with me.

After all, the only way to climb a mountain is one step at a time.

This is the story of how I got to work with one of my all time favorite animators @danaegosset and an awesome team of artists whose work I have admired for years. Not all of the “making of” shots are me, this is a collective BTS of both the Mac Miller Rush Hour music video and the Tell me It’s Sunday music video by Model Child.

When I set out to make the Tell Me it’s Sunday video Danaé was one of two artists in particular that inspired it. So getting the chance to work with her during the production of Tell Me It’s Sunday was a dream come true.

Huge thank you to Danaé for being gracious enough to give me a shot and believing in me when we had no room for error on right deadline. Thank you to all the other artists involved who made the whole thing possible.

Getting to make music videos and animation like this is something that I will be proud of for the rest of my life.

The full Model Child video is linked in my bio to see the final version.

Season 1 of @intrusivelythinkingpodcast is officially wrapped… and honestly, I’m still wrapping my head around everything this year has been.

From battling depression, addiction, and anxiety to trying to lead a team and build something from scratch I’ve been fighting for my life behind the scenes while trying to make y’all laugh on camera.

This show didn’t come from a place of having it all together. It came from needing a reason to get up and keep pushing. Some days I felt unstoppable. Other days I barely showed up. But we did it. Somehow, some way… we made it to the end of Season 1.

Thank you to the people who helped build this with me. Thank you to everyone who believed in me when I was doubting myself hard. And huge shoutout to our incredible guests this season: Maddi Mays, Essie Ann Bone, and Zoey Sinn—y’all brought your whole selves and made this thing real.

If you’ve been watching, listening, reposting, showing love… thank you. It means more than you know.

This is just the beginning. Season 2 is on the way

This is the 4th festival selection for this episode. I’m very close to being done with episode 5 and can’t wait to share with you. The best is yet to come.

Thank you to the Los Angeles Animation Festival and I will see you there!

This might be my favorite clip so far. All 3D animation on this was done by @coreymckinneyjr. The whole question for episode 4 was what would it look like to combine digital animation and AI with mixed media?

Corey’s animation was already so busy I wanted to come up with a way to add to it without taking anything away. So I thought, why not have the digital world come into our physical world?

In order to understand AI we have to first understand ourselves as humans.

That seemed an impossible task long before the question of artificial intelligence.   So what does it mean to be human? To have consciousness? To make art? The answer is a subjective truth we each get to discover for ourselves.

AI is made in our image. It inherits has our flaws. It is only as scary as we are.

Still, there’s a stigma around AI.

As there should be. It’s an unknown frontier.

If we could first address our own biological programming, our own evolutionary shortcomings, wouldn’t AI naturally follow suit?

Is it possible the technology we create can change what it means to be human? Rob it of its value? Make us less… human?

These are questions I pondered when I interviewed Corey McKinney Jr. A digital artist and animator whose work I admire for its unique aesthetic. Corey’s work is unconcerned with what everyone else is doing. It reflects his own personal taste and experience, as art should.

Corey’s take on AI is more optimistic than mine, and I hope he’s right. He uses it in an ethical way, as a tool to express himself and support his art. He believes it can bring people together. Maybe it will even the playing field for voices less heard.

Ultimately, you can only control that which you can control.

We as individuals do not have the power to convince billionaires to value humanity over profit, or to ethically train AI.

Perhaps a more viable route is believing in the possibility of things actually working out. Allowing yourself to believe in the best case scenario, and then do something that aligns with that belief.

What if we all asked AI what is the best way to spread love? How do we forgive ourselves for our mistakes? What is the best way to spend a day volunteering in our community? Maybe when we’re done, we could look inward for those same answers. Make a more informed decision.

What if we used it to help each other, in a way the ruling class never thought possible?

What might that look like?

Maybe now,
Ever still,
Love is the answer.

This is a moment from an old Instagram post that I felt captured the perspective of Libby’s friend in her passenger seat. One of those moments that get randomly burned into your memory one day and stays with you forever, you know?

I wanted to do every frame differently. Some of the frames I liked the least turned out to be my favorites in the final animation. Adding texture or random lines. It’s a fun exercise for experimentation or trying new techniques.

Episode 4 is coming along. Stay human ✌️✌️✌️

We didn’t build this show off vibes and intrusive thoughts alone. This was blood, sweat, tears—and an ungodly amount of late-night texts, duct tape, and a mini fridge filled with Celsius!

Meet the Avengers aka the Intrusively Thinking production team.

Rhode? The showrunner, producer, chaos coordinator, and part-time therapist for our host. She kept the ship afloat, the hosts alive, and the vibes immaculate—all while updating milanote like her life depended on it.

Marymorgan? Breathed life into our furry fever dream of a set and still had time to make it fashion.

Kevin? Engineered our audio so crispy, you could hear a host’s intrusive thought forming in real time.

Nick? Edited like a caffeinated wizard. Slept once. Maybe.

Shareef? Turned every chaotic frame into cinema. Like, actually.

Without these beautiful, talented, slightly unhinged humans—this show would still be an idea scribbled on a napkin at 2AM.

We see you. We love you. We are you.
Thank you for making our madness look good.

I struggled with what to do with this clip from episode 3 until the last minute. I had all these materials I hadn’t used that you can see in the first few frames as I was experimenting. Once I let go and just went with it it came together. I love the 90’s feel to it. It’s also the first official cameo (Cammy-O?) by my dog Cammy.
