I promised to share some video during this trip, and plan to do so. I intend to post some short things directly here and over on X. However, hoping I might be able to do some longer videos, so needed a channel.
My preference would have been Rumble, as I don’t trust Google for anything ever since they shortened their motto to ‘do evil.’ However, trying to set up an account on Rumble was an exercise in frustration. Cloudflare wanted to verify I was human every time I signed in or pushed a button, and then I had to select interests and sign up for podcasters (not an interest) they were pushing. No way to move forward unless you did this, so I quit trying and walked away.
So, I now have a YouTube channel (Ailbe Studios) dedicated just to sharing things from my pilgrimage (and hopefully a few others to come) as well as about Orthodoxy and my spiritual journey. No promises on how much video or how soon, but I will be doing some, Lord willing. If I get talked into doing videos on preparedness or other topics, that will be a separate channel. More soon.

If you would like to help me with this trip, seminary courses, and more, feel free to hit the fundraiser at A New Life on GiveSendGo, use the options in the Tip Jar in the upper right, or drop me a line to discuss other methods. I’ve added Cash App ($CliffPow7) and Venmo (@Clifford-Powers-5). There is also the Amazon Wish List in the Bard’s Jar. Getting hit by lightning is not fun! It is thanks to your gifts and prayers that I am still going. Thank you.
