I got this one from XP Pen. There’s a lot I like about it, and I think ultimately I just have to get used to it, but I miss the magnetic one I used to have that stuck to my Cintiq.

It also seemed like every entertainment outlet was suddenly doing a “rise of the YouTubers” story given Kane Parsons’ Backrooms opened to $118 million globally that weekend. But you actually did the classic Hollywood thing of moving from Alabama to L.A. when you were 18 to make it in showbiz. Like that’s the old-school way of breaking in.

Exactly. I never thought of myself as a YouTuber. I feel my journey isn’t that much different from the greats we know and love like Spielberg — not to compare myself to those people, but they started by making short films. They made films over and over until finally someone gave them a chance. YouTube was just a platform. Also, most of our fame started on TikTok, then we started putting [videos] on Instagram, and then we started putting them on YouTube. It’s just a buzzy thing to say “this is a YouTube thing.”

Apparently, someone trademarked the phrase “hot girls read” and is telling other small businesses to take down their merch with the phrase. Hot girls would never. www.instagram.com/p/DZH8jM7ERh...

Text reading “this is celebratory ofc ofc ofc but I also want to very gently with peace and love!!!!) say that I officially have the trademark for hot girls read in the following categories:
- bookmarks
- stickers
-notebook covers/book covers
- notepads
- sweatshirts
- t-shirts
- hooded sweatshirts
I've seen HR on lots of items from other business' that follow me so if that is you please remove those listings from ur site as soon as possible with love!!!!”
