my fav youtube channels

1. BRENDAWARENESS: really cool and good for the fashion girlies. it is a smaller podcast channel by "Hashtag Brenda", she is big in fashion (she literally spent her birthday with Rick Owens). I call her my digital big sister. https://www.youtube.com/@brendahashtag 2. COLORLESS WONDERLAND: kinda booktube but for not horny people. he used to be a middle school teacher and he has very cool takes and analysis. he hasn't posted actively in a while but he's just overall really good vibes. https://www.youtube.com/@colorlesswonderland 3. PROFOUND PONDERING: this random guy who speaks very candidly about his mental health and is quite relaxing to listen to. https://www.youtube.com/@profoundpondering8575 4. WENDIGOON: does deep research on some really cool topics; everything from the bible to analogue horror, to chris mc candless. he is just really interesting to listen to, nd is def for the hyperfixation community https://www.youtube.com/@Wendigoon 5. FRANK WATKINSON: an old man who does very cute covers of songs which make me cry everytime. he also has original songs. he's been on youtube for like 10 years at least and loves sufjan stevens. https://www.youtube.com/@FrankWatkinson/videos 6. KERWIN FROST: this may be a bit rogue but he was my fav person when i was like 13 in 2018 and was like super into tyler the creator. Kerwin is a really cool DJ and his interviews are so fun to watch. he doesn't post much now but he has done interviews with young lean and dev hynes which rlly impacted me when i was younger and revisit from time to time https://www.youtube.com/@KerwinFrostTV 7. MYTHICAL KITCHEN (LAST MEAL): might just be my favourite series on the internet everrrr. a very talented chef called Josh hosts celebrity guests and chefs make their "death row meal". they've had guests like Karamo from queer eye, steve-o and tom hanks. https://www.youtube.com/@mythicalkitchen 8. BOOK CLUB RADIO: a dj collective in brooklyn, insane sets (personal favs: dj nico and varist) https://www.youtube.com/@bookclubradio 9. ARCHITECTUAL DIGEST (OPEN DOOR + SPACE SAVERS): i love looking at rich peoples houses, so cool. open house is a series where they go to celebrity houses, obvs so fun to watch. space savers is a series where 3 different architects get given a space and they get to draft whatever they want, the results are so cool! (darren jett is so cool) https://www.youtube.com/@Archdigest i hope you enjoyed the list mwahhh xoxoxox

YouTube ASMR

I have a very specific list of YouTube channels that calm my mindbodysoul. I was going to recommend just one but then realized it's not enough - because they all do something very special. First one is Liziqi. My friend Jon Baken showed me her channel years ago, the only way we were able to find her was by searching "Plum Chinese" - IDK why but now it's much easier (search "Liziqi" lol). Either way, she's a beautiful Chinese princess (not really, but basically) that lives in rural China with her grandma (allegedly). Each episode she takes - usually like a fruit or vegetable that's in season - and makes a bunch of things from scratch using that main ingredient. The sounds are calming (chopping wood, puppies barking, wind), it's shot really beautifully and her skills are honestly really impressive. It's like girls and gay guy football...every time I have shared it, anytime she does something we scream. People doubt the authenticity of it - but I prefer not to. Then there is SteveMRE1989 who is the coolest dude with the most swag on all of YouTube. He is obsessed with eating MREs from like any decade and country basically. His voice is so soothing and I love how he describes every part of the ration, sparing no detail, his way of saying "Nice." I especially love when he gets cigarettes from like a WW1 MRE and smokes them on camera. He's the fucking best. Last but not least is MadSeasonShow who is a guy who plays WoW. He has hour-long videos on the history of WoW and other stuff like that. His voice is literally the best and he is most often the channel I choose to fall asleep to because the videos also have really nice medieval elevator slow jams (hope that makes sense) in the background. He sometimes streams on Twitch as well and that's always a treat, the way he says "Doritos" is mad cool. I think he's from Canada or the midwest somewhere. To make it easy for you all I made a little playlist of some of their vids to get you started that's linked above. Sweet dreams!

Fun personality and great at reminding people that yes people may have had a bad home life but there was a point where they made a decision and we need to take off our “empathy caps” PolyBlank: art history??? Cool way of formatting don’t know how to explain but talks about so many different things in a cool way that makes my brain stay entertained Jschlatt: funny reaction videos Michael reeves: always fun and cool crazy inventions, super awesome but doesn’t post much

replacing embarrassment with endearment

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.

journals as archives

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!!!!!!!
