this channel was recommended to me about 7 years ago by a friend and I watch it regularly to this day. if and when there is a time to wind down, to disengage, to get truly cozy, this is my ultimate recommendation. a focused, labor intensive process made ambient by the miracle of editing, watching this guy clean a painting with a q tip is visual sleepytime tea but also a very interesting process to tap into when not sleepy. run don‘t walk.

I could spend upwards of 3 hours scrolling through this website. I’m so obsessed with finding perfumes with notes I like (at the moment my favorites are bubblegum, sea water, and incense). I like to go to Scentbar (strictly the Hollywood location) and hand them my phone and show them all the perfumes on my Fragrantica account that I want to smell. I knowwww a scentbar employee hates to see me coming
lol stupid thing to recommend but specifically for philosophy I find it very helpful to follow imbedded links and see the web of philosophical terms spread and develop as you go. philosophy is so referential at times and it helps me to see things summarized and related directly. once I find a philosophical subset I’m interested in I look at the literature concerned and delve deeper, there are so many free pdfs of philosophical texts online, bless up. you can start with what you know, “philosophy of-“ will almost always yield something. my interest in philosophy started with modern philosophy and moved backwards in time, you might be different. honestly just get in there and have fun with it kid
