If you need anything in the meantime, please do not hesitate to reach out to me via email at slade@sladewatkins.com like you have previously (or use sladewatkins@rogueportmedia.com if you'd like to make the transition now), or give my work cell a call. Always happy to chat with you!

Cheers,
Slade

pushing me privately for years to do this, and I'm grateful to have a friend and business partner in @tigstahh.com to do it with. We're looking forward to sharing the final announcement in the coming weeks.

going to require some manual entry on both of our parts. Again, this email will have all the details on what you'll need to do when the time comes.

In the meantime, I'd like to thank you so much for your patience and support as we get the paperwork ready for this. I know some of you have been

(This probably won't come as a surprise to you.)

I'll be reaching out with further info on invoice system updates and other important info as we get closer. All I ask is that you're ready to update info as quickly as possible. I'd really love if this were a seamless process, but sadly, it is

Now the important part. To my clients, some of you have been wondering why I haven't been able to take on your work *so far* this year. Well, to answer your questions: yes, the reason why is because I'm going to be transitioning all of my work to be underneath the LLC once it is formed.

With my image/video search rant out of the way, there was something I wanted to share that's important to me. I can now say with full confidence that -- before the summer -- you're going to see Rogueport Media form into the LLC we've been talking about since the end of January.

Okay, there *were* two videos in there that I was looking for, and I do understand why it couldn’t find those. But my argument still stands. Search is fundamentally broken everywhere else. I think we’re focused on the wrong technological advancements right now, honestly.

I wish searching was a little more reliable though. I knew what was going on in those photos, but they hadn’t been indexed in quite the way where I could use natural language to locate them. It just told me there weren’t any results if I tried. Kind of a bummer.

Great news: I found what I was looking for! Bad news: everything is still a mess but it’s fine. I’ll deal with it later. Sent a lot to my friend already this afternoon so I’m gonna wait, but at least that’s one mystery solved.

Listen, I wouldn’t be complaining as hard if I didn’t already have like 29,000+ things stored in my media library. I am still digging for what I’m actually looking for, this is insane.

I moved a bunch of photos & videos to my phone all together the other day to send to my friend. Overnight, my phone must've reorganized them bc now they're all over the place. So, I'll likely have to spend the rest of my afternoon organizing everything to find what I'm looking for. Cool, thanks! :/

As of 1:15am (~an hour ago), I have emailed @bsky.app. I look forward to hearing from them soon. Quite frankly, I cannot do this on my own anymore, and something must give. I will keep you posted on any developments.

Thank you, and again, I'm so sorry about all of this.

Second & importantly: I'm so sorry if you felt hurt or isolated by those posts. But truthfully, I did not post them or have anything to do with them. Furthermore, I certainly wouldn't say anything close to what was said in them. The contents of those posts were disgusting and awful, full stop. (4/5)

So, to be clear: this is my only PERSONAL Bluesky account, besides the one I have that's holding my old username. The domain links to a site that lists all of my accounts. My Instagram is @sladewatkins and was verified in October 2025 by the powers that be (notably not a subscription thing). (3/5)

These emails have even come from people I work with, who have been really confused as to why I'd post something like that, while saying something completely different in work chats. The reality is, these accounts don't belong to me & I certainly don't post as much as they do. I'm a busy guy. (2/5)

I am incredibly hurt and upset. In the past four hours, I've been made aware of 26 individual accounts using my images to spread incredibly disgusting, hateful posts on this site. Worse, I've gotten emails and DMs on Instagram from people asking why I've said things I didn't even say. (1/5)

No, I would not like to format and use this ancient external drive as a Time Machine backup for this Mac Studio that has so much more storage than the drive I just plugged in does. But thanks for asking?

Ok now that I’m not holding a milkshake and can’t accidentally call people somehow, I’m excited to share that my New York ID has been canceled & I’m officially an Ohio resident as of today! Also Nick took me out for ice cream. πŸ’™
