If you haven't already, check out this great video about parasocial relationships. It's long but worth it! https://youtu.be/KLA-uFKjQ-g

Late contribution but based on something you said earlier in the stream; I just wanted to share this gem of leftist satire with you and your chat (it's only a minute long).. https://youtu.be/eyGND49CBYk

Hi Natalie, I'm 32 and have never voted. I honestly don't feel our votes matter outside of local politics. Do you think the US will ever be an actual democracy rather than a republic?

What is your honest prediction for how the election will turn out?

Hi Natalie! I was wondering if you had a favorite historical event or anecdote? (Just one that you think is fun or interesting to talk about). PS Happy (belated) birthday!!

You kicked ass with the new vid gorge!! Everyone go to iwillvote.com!!!

MeowMeow Nyaaatalie! The classical music in your videos reminded me how lovely & moving music can be, so I've picked up piano again. Please recommend pieces for a rusty pianist to play? Practice tips are welcome, too. Been working on Chopin's Waltz in C# min. Op. 64 No. 2, Satie's Gnossienne No. 1, & Passacaglia (Handel/Halvorsen)

Hi Natalie, I just found your videos in the summer and have already watched them all through so many times! I've been writing an essay on the effects of intense fans on the creators they watch. If you don't mind, what is the worst experience that you've had with a fan? Anyways Love your and your content!!

Hi Natalie, I've been watching your videos since the Summer (I think) and I just recently became a patron. I really respect you and enjoy your work! I have bachelor's degrees in biology and philosophy and I'm applying now for PhD programs in ecology, so I'm very interested in what you think about environmental ethics- what moral obligations humans have to the environment and what grounds those obligations? Love you and your videos!

Happy belated birthday Natalie! I am myself a marxist enby and I fully support your Biden vote. my question: how political can/should art actually be? I always joke with my friends how LOONA will end capitalism but what should artists really do in times like these? One part of me does believe in the power of art to change the world, the other one stans Adorno and realizes that at this point in time almost everything that used to be subversive is made just another commodity.

Hi Nyat! I've already asked a question so I just wanna send you my best wishes for your birthday. Have a great one, you absolutely deserve it!

Happy Birthday Natalie! The subject of this question is firearm adoption on the left. Do you see firearms as a reasonable countermeasure against growing threats from right wing groups to the safety of vulnerable communities, or is another armed, politically charged individual of any allegiance the last thing this community needs?
