Just because you CAN say something doesn't mean you SHOULD. And to berate someone on the anniversary of their passing? Hiding initially behind someone else, then using it as a springboard to spray your repugnant cat piss around this "community?"
Vile. Disgusting.
What you do isn't helping anyone except your own horrible sycophants.
That man did more positive than you ever will, trash panda.
Dearest Tom Lehrer, DAMMIT, TOM! You pinko, mathematical, agent of sarcasm and wit… Leave it to you to subvert my YouTube channel, right as I say I will not use this platform to promote those great men and women who leave us far too soon.
I know you were 97, but even 250 would be too young for someone calling out the bullshit and insanity like you. Your genius mind found laughter in everyone and everything. I remember the moment I was introduced to you and I thank you (and my old friend Mark Richardson) for all the joy that moment has brought me.
Sleep well, sir. There are many of us subversives who will try and carry on the mantle. We will never be you, but we will hold your spirit high.
Thank you Tom. I look forward to seeing you again sone day…
I don't want my posts to become just an "in memoriam" list, but this one really hit me: Sleep well Theo Huxtable. From "Cosby" to "Malcolm & Eddie" to "Jeremiah" and "The Resident," from those recurring guests on "Community" and "American Horror Story" and "Suits" and everything in between. (Who can forget you driving the white Bronco as Al Cowlings in "American Crime Story: The Trial of OJ Simpson?") You have been a part of my life since very early on. It may be that you and I were close in age or simply that I liked and respected your characters, but I will certainly miss seeing your face in new roles.
Rest in peace, Malcom-Jamal Warner. Your absence will certainly be noticed.be

Hiya friends! I just wanted to make a quick, formal announcement: You may not have realized it yet, but the "DenverSteveo" channel is now "Peeple of Earth." (I promise not to change it's name and breed it off into too many infant channels every few weeks. I really like this one.) And yes, I know "Peeple" is a non-standard spelling, but it seems to fit me - a non-standard boy.
Keep an eye out for notifications in the next week or so as I will be announcing when my return/reboot stream will go live. I am still recovering from my transplant in March, but the "good" drugs have given me quite a few ideas for programming during "Season 2" of the channel. I hope you will be as excited as I am when we reach out beyond Scientology and cult dynamics to explore more of the things that make us uniquely peeple of Earth. (We're not escaping the cult talk, just widening our perspective.
@mikerinder-- Happy 70th birthday, my friend. I am missing the heck out of you, more today than ever. There is an emptiness in this space without your videos, streams, and blogs, along with those drive-bys on Insta and X. You mean so much to so many of us and will remain in our hearts and minds until we rejoin and reconnect when the time is right.
I wanted to reshare the birthday video I put together for you last year - My tribute to the GOAT of ex-Scientology and the island-country-continent that brought you to us.
To those viewing this, please share with others who find inspiration in Mike's life. Smile with him, feel with him, and most importantly stand with him to end the abuses, violence, and disconnection. Also, please consider making a donation to the MJR Aftermath Foundation in Mike's name. Together we can help uphold Mike's legacy.
I've spent 12 hours a week at the ass crack of dawn (4 hours/day 3 days/week starting at 5am) plugged into the Dracula dialyzer and watching my blood get drained from my body, freezing and shivering even on the hottest days of the year, ending up in the ER on multiple occasions for an "extra treatment" because an untrained technician misprogrammed the machine and my excess fluids were never actually removed.
But then came the day where I was notified I had completed all of the prequalification requirements to be made active on the UNOS list. For a fat dude like me, there's a lot that needs to be done to qualify - a loss of weight (50lbs for me), nuclear stress testing (get injected by Doctor Doom / Tony Stark gamma rays, run a treadmill, have pics taken of the glowing innards), blood tests, blood tests, blood tests, and a delightfully agonizing amount of other tests that have to be repeated or started over (if not passed) every 12 months. The one shining light in everything was that my place in the list was based on my wait time from initial diagnosis. In other words, I was 3yr 11mo up the hill when I was activated.
On Saturday, March 15, I received a call from my Transplant Coordinator informing my that two kidneys had become available from a "brain dead donor" and while I was not at the top of the list, they wanted to run my blood to verify if I could be a viable recipient. (Most transplant units keep a vial of recipient blood on hand and redraw every 30 days so the samples don't break down. I literally just had my latest draw the week before this date.) They set the expectation that it could take 8-10 hours to run and test the blood and, like an earlier call I had received for the same purpose, they promised to call me back no later than 8am the following morning.
Around midnight, I decided to go to bed. I put my phone on the charger, turned up the ringer to max, and the phone literally started ringing immediately. It was the hospital.
"Mr. Steveo?" "Yes, this is he. I. Me." "Would it be possible for you to come get checked in at the transplant center by 2am?" "Ah, sure... This is real, right?" "You are not being Inceptioned. I promise." (God, I love this girl... "Good, cuz I can't find my spinning top. I'll see you at 2!"
Well, fuck.
Needless to say, I went into surgery at 7:30am on the 16th. (Always somewhat of a lucky number for me so YAY!) I spent the next 4 days in the hospital, being poked, prodded, and oxy'd constantly. In the week since, I have been back to the hospital 3 times (all part of the transplant routine - education, inspection, bundled in with a little amateur therapy), my meds have been changed almost daily, and I still spend the majority of my time sleeping.
But no more dialysis and as I recover I will feel more and more comfortable exploring further and further from home. I am already starting to feel like a real boy again and so much stress from the last 4 years is now gone.
I want to give so much thanks to everyone who has written me, either to check in or to share their own successes. I miss talking to all of you and I hope we can reconnect very soon.
@mikerinder, Sending you, Christie, and the boys all the good vibes and positivity today. You have done so much for the fight since you blew all those years ago. Nothing but respect, admiration, and "all the things" to you from this never-in. You are an inspiration and a hero to so many of us. Love you Mike!

Hey friends, Steveo here...
I just wanted to drop you all a line and give a quick update on how I've been doing.
For those of you with me since the beginning, you know my story already, at least until I stepped away from the scene 8 months ago.
EIGHT freaking MONTHS?!?!?
For those new to me, please enjoy a quick crash course in "Steveo 101"
