HI EVERYONE! First and foremost I want ro reiterate my gratitude and LOVE for everyone here! As I indicated some weeks, BACK, I WILL report on donations here, in the interest of TRANSPARENCY - as of 2DAY, our ERSTWHILE mob has donated $987.00! Which is INCREDIBLE! I’ve put $500.00 of that amount, ‘‘BEYOND REACH’’ for the time being in SAFE DEPOSIT - as an EMERGENCY RELIEF FUND. Remainder I have used to PAY our ERSTWHILE editor (who you all will ‘‘MEET’’ soon when we drop collaborative content with HIM in front of the MIC and the CAMERA) and to purchase a GIMBAL for use w/my ANDROID phone - this was substantially CHEAPER than purchasing a stand-along CAMERA, and the FOOTAGE I have been capturing for OUR purposes has been quite GOOD.
The remaining $100 (approx) is going into the THREE SEVEN TRAVEL warchest - which I need to build up for the LAS VEGAS TOUR - a WORKING trip I have planned for the summertime. NOBODY should feel obliged nor pressured in ANY way to contribute to our WARCHEST - I am grateful for ANYTHING anyone wishes to contribute, and if NOBODY is able to part with their hard earned assets, that is totally FINE too. Anyone who WISHES to contribute can hit up our CASH APP - $7homas777; WE will always be here, always generating CONTENT and continuing the struggle as PARTISANS - I want that to be very clear.
Finally, FROGPACKAGES are ON THEIR WAY! There are some that still NEED to be mailed, and I am diligently getting those out! Please forgive the delays! They will ALL be at their destinations OR en route to their recipients within next TWO WEEKS. The SECOND SEASON of MINDPHASER is going to be recorded on MAY 20 and the next day or two subsequent. The FORMAT is changing substantially - but I believe this is necessary to keep our brand FRESH and engaged as well as to EVOLVE. I am confident that all our people will approve and find that these changes aid in their self-education and their OWN engagement with our HERITAGE (confessional, racial, political and otherwise).
7HOMAS TV will begin generating STAND ALONE content - as well as SOME ‘‘mirror’’ content vis a vis MINDPHASER - as soon as SEASON 2 of the PODCAST is underway. THANK YOU very, very much for being PATIENT. I am absolutely NOT affecting a MARTYR’S pose, I am just speaking candidly when I state that this brand being essentially a TWO MAN operation (and when my dear Friend/comrade who handles virtually ALL of our production/editing is NOT available, a ONE MAN enterprise) confers an extraordinary WORKLOAD. I welcome the CHALLENGE - there is literally NOTHING I would prefer to be doing - but it means things take TIME.
Moving forward, I must catch up on LONG FORM manuscripts as well - TWO of which have long been underway, yet I’ve had virtually NO time to dedicate to their completion owing to the demands of the POD, of VIDEO content and collaborations, of organizing the PEOPLE, resources, and KNOWLEDGE base to raise the QUALITY and professionalism of our existing work product and expand to FRESH platforms and finally, and most importantly, I travel CONSTANTLY throughout the COUNTRY to visit OUR PEOPLE who are engaged in building DELIBERATE COMMUNITIES, who are developing self-sustaining LIVING practices for themselves and their families, and who are preparing for what lies ahead and all that entails, things both prosaic and profound.
I will begin dropping a ‘‘VIDEO JOURNAL’’ of sorts here on SUBSTACK - I believe this may allow me to be MORE engaged with all of YOU and vice versa. I’ll flesh this out FURTHER sometime this weekend. I love all of ya. 7/88. - 7HOMAS.
Keep up the awesome work! 1488.
Best in your endeavours, travels, branding, manuscripts/commercialisation and otherwise cultural and social goals.
