December Update: Jingle Those Bells Please (Patreon)

Hello friends! 

Well here we are in holiday season, a.k.a. the most RELAXING and STRESS-FREE time of the year. I hope you're able to find some comfort and joy however you celebrate -- personally, I like to mark December by huddling under as many blankets as I can possibly acquire and watching the Pee Wee Christmas Special. Oh and also, of course, by working on all the videos and podcasts and livestreams that your backing makes possible!

Here's what you can look forward to this month:

• Livestreams! Come say hello, share your recommendations for stuff to watch, and make friends in the chat! I love getting your entertainment suggestions & can't wait to talk about all of the queer entertainment that’s lighting up your life. This month's livestreams are happening on Saturday, December 14 at 10am Pacific; and on Saturday December 30 at 10am Pacific. Click the bell here to get a reminder when we go live. 
• The Sewers of Paris! Each week on the podcast, a guest plucks a piece of entertainment from their past -- books, movies, music, shows, and more -- and answers the question: how did it change your life? Recent highlights include animator and cliff-climber Jackie Wu, America's Test Kitchen producer Conor Olmstead, and local nerd artist Cody Shipman. 
• Culture Cruise! All backers get early ad-free access to Culture Cruise videos, taking a deep dive on queer content in the entertainment we love. Last month, I posted a video about how the show Frasier gave us lots of queer episodes of TV throughout the gay '90s, and this month I'm working on a followup about the show's ultimate gay guest star, Patrick Stewart.
• Cozy Pants! A podcast for Patreon backers at $4/month and up! Join me and my partner James for a fun affectionate chat about the cultural comforts that are lighting up our lives. 
• Weekly Debrief! Get caught up on the latest LGBTQ news, how it affects you, and actions you can take! Weekly Debrief is your quick roundup of everything you need to know about what's happening with queer people in the world, and how you can help.

Thanks again for backing so many video, audio, and livestream projects. I couldn't make any of it without you, and as we wrap up 2019 I'm counting every single blessing you bring me with your support.

Matt
