I’ve recommended this channel before but it still is one of my top favourite channels to listen to in the background when I’m folding/putting away laundry

YAY
Dirty girls by Michael lucid - don’t fully remember what it’s about but it’s in my playlist of cool docs.
The perfect painting and hotline Miami by polyblank - tbh u would recommend his entire channel! Makes art history type Of videos but in such a cool interesting way that can keep my brain focused (not sure how to explain it)
michael reeves - Super funny and super cool channel. He doesn’t post a lot but everytime he does it’s great. He makes a lot of inventions but of non serious things and tests them out with his friends. a classic one I’d recommend is the roomba that screams when it bumps into something! Also the surgery robot one is good too, honestly there’s actually too many here that I like to just put a few recommendations of his videos LOL

libraries are genuinely so cool like can you imagine the government creating public libraries today?????? no! they fucking hate the idea of public goods and services that people can access for FREE

it’s a struggle to try and stay positive (read: not fall into a deep pit of despair and general hopelessness) throughout all of this. i work in a public library in a purple state that has thankfully yet to see massive pushback from organizations trying to censor resources in public and school libraries, but that may change at any moment. i don’t know if the federal funding freeze will have any impact on public library funding and what that means for me going forward. more importantly, what that would mean for the people who rely on the library. it’s too easy to get sucked into just… general malaise about our current situation.
it certainly doesn’t help that i’ve been sick with the flu for the past three days either.
i recently read anxious people by fredrik backman for a book club i facilitate at my library and there’s a passage towards the end that i haven’t been able to stop thinking about since i finished the book:
“The truth. There isn't any. All we've managed to find out about the boundaries of the universe is that it hasn't got any, and all we know about God is that we don't know anything. So the only thing a mom who was a priest demanded of her family was simple: that we do our best.
We plant an apple tree today, even if we know the world is going to be destroyed tomorrow.”
