really high quality videos of bugs moving in slow motion……. well researched, well produced, & loooots of cool bugs
also, microscopic stuff!!!! really good 2 both study & fall asleep 2
Ant Lab - cool close up & slow motion videos of bugs, & something abt the guy’s mannerisms is just ridiculously endearing
Biblaridion - really into linguistics & makes conlangs (cool), but i really love the alien biosphere series!!! it’s a speculative evolution project where he’s just creating a whole world from scratch
Cor Canish - makes a bunch of stuff abt Elder Scrolls, really really fun & editing is remarkable
Featureman - a lovely old man makes cheap but (probably) yummy food & talks to u 4 a while. he’s really funny
League of Pigs - lots of happy & well loved pigs race for the championship (to the food trough)
Myron Cook - another lovely old man, does geological investigations into bizarre rock structures. equally good for learning or falling asleep
Steve Wallis - another lovely (oldish, not really) man, makes stealth camping videos. total cutie
Worthikids - really fun animations!!!! & featureman voiced a character in Bigtop Burger <333
I found this guy via TikTok and started watching him on YouTube. I’ve always loved animals so these videos fascinate me. His calming voice combined with the piano make me feel like I’m watching a young, scientific Mr. Rogers.
romanticise ur blunders & ur missteps, bc that is just part of being a creature. if u saw a duckling fall flat on its face and scramble 2 its feet u wouldn't judge the freakin duckling, u would think it was the cutest thing ever. because it is. we r just organisms in big ungainly bodies, and that is part of our charm. tripping over ur own feet is maybe the most adorable thing u can do. like awwhh u tripped on the pavement </333
this extends 2 social interactions 2. messaging exes that u miss them, making a joke that doesn't land, mishearing/not knowing/forgetting something, etc??!!?! SO SWEET. genuinely such wonderful & important & adorable things 2 do.
i think this is maybe the best thing i've ever managed 2 train my brain 2 do. it isn't foolproof but it makes life a lot gentler.
just about everything that happens to you will be interesting to your future self/your descendants/archaeologists. immortalise your to do lists, shopping lists, packing lists, things that loved ones say, things that strangers say, the phrases you hear that would make a good band name. brainstorm what to do on the weekend, list your cravings, the songs stuck in your head, transcribe birdsong, etc. i track my periods & my finances in my journal. sometimes if i really want to take a photo of something i'll restrain myself and draw it in my journal instead. sometimes i take notes for uni in there, or draft sewing patterns, or sketch when im bored. journals are self-portraits!!!!!!!
