What We Accomplished This Month

Beta Testing the ADHD Friendly Rubric!

New Perks!
We’ve been working hard behind the scenes to put the new perks into place – if you haven’t seen the new perks for your level yet, you will soon!

A New Studio Space!
After some searching, we’ve done it! Done what, you ask? We were able to acquire a brand new studio space! AHHHHH! Jessica is very excited to not have to move her desk every time she needs to shoot.

Amazon Talk

Jessica was able to give a talk at an internal company event that went out to ALL Amazon employees, where she shared a longer version of her TEDx Talk with the staff!

Patreon Presents

Jessica was able to give a talk at the Patreon Presents event, where she spoke about the importance of accommodating ADHD in the workplace!

Accessibility Updates

Thanks to some wonderful feedback on our Shorts, we’ve become aware of the accessibility concerns relating to YouTube Shorts. We are relaying our concerns about the lack of accessibility to YouTube.

As of right now, we cannot caption our Shorts. The captions will not appear right, and Shorts do not presently have Caption controls on the Shorts themselves. We did try!

While we wait for YouTube to make accessibility updates, from this point forward, our Community Manager -- Harley -- will pin a comment on each Short with a transcription of the clip. So if you need captions, be sure to check that pinned comment!

More Active Social Media

We’re starting to increase our posting activity on our various Social Media platforms! That way you can connect with not just our content, but your fellow Brains via whatever platform fits you best! Right now we’re available on:
