starting my page off right by sharing my appreciation of this great creator. I've been watching his channel for so long and I really owe my interest in philosophy and my curiosity in the world as a teenager to him. I very often rewatch 'The Squonk' whenever I'm feeling a bit down or lonely. He also looks suspiciously similar to my local second-hand bookshop owner... I'm sure there must be some overlap between philosophy youtube essayists and second-hand bookshop owners.

I wasnāt allowed to watch Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, or Disney Channel as a kid, so I watched a lot of Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, and History Channel instead. YouTube video essays have filled that media niche for me in my adult life. I recently found Torās channel and heās quickly become a favorite source of video essays. His content explores internet rabbit holes, historical curios, and his own special interests, and he provides excellent insight and analysis. Heās a self-proclaimed āslut for nuanceā and I appreciate his perspectives a lot. His videos are very old-YouTube (think the early seasons ofĀ Good Mythical Morning) and are basically video podcasts. If you want some wholesome, clickbait-free, low production but well researched long form videos, go like and subscribe and hit the bell icon.Ā

ā±ļøI feel like middle aged or older adults have such a good sense of themselves, at least from an outside perspective. Everyone I know from family to co-worker to teacher who is within this age range is so easy to describe. Their characteristics are easy to point out and their personality is very clear. I feel like this isn't as true for young adults and teens and especially not for kids. Maybe it's because we're open to changing ourselves more and definition hinders our ability to grow. I feel like this is obvious but an observation non the less.

šThe person who created this site is so insanely knowledgeable and creative, if you are at all interested in medieval history this website will be up your alley. So go visit their monastery and sign their guestbook as a pilgrim of St. Blamensir. (the cemetery is also sure to make you cry)

Iām not at home for most of the day but you can bet when 4pm hits sheās there waiting at the front door for me.
Iāve been sick lately and had to lock her out while i diffused essential oils in my room to help with my sinuses. I WILL NEVER DO IT AGAIN she was wailing and scratching at my door and the look of joy in her eyes when I stepped out my room filled me with unbearable guilt.
I love my cat more than anything on this earth and everyday is a bit better knowing iām her favourite person ā¤ļøāš©¹
