    In my fifth grade English class the four term themes were Civil War, Holocaust, dog books, and choose-your-own. For the first three units, my parents read all four options ahead of time and had me assigned to the least traumatizing. For the last term I picked Julie of the Wolves, a dog book disguised as a Wolf book; I’d always wondered why my second grade teacher suddenly stopped reading it to us at story time.

    The two short stories that have really stuck with me are the Ray Bradbury one about the automated home and the Edgar Alan Poe one about the beating heart

    I was assigned The Westing Game no led than three times from K-12

    My favorite report I wrote was when I got to pick Terry Pratchett’s Night Watch in my dual-credit community college English course and the red pen in the margins of my report was all compliments







  • I started learning Japanese as I started using Heliboard, for now I just swap back when I need it. GBoard doesn’t play nice with the language button switching between apps so I just use the OS keyboard button and have the language button disabled everywhere, which also frees up some space!

    Thought Emporium does mad science-level experiments

    NighthawkInLight is basically supercharged at-home science

    Jet Lag: The Game is tag/capture the flag on steroids

    Roffle makes daily Hearthstone videos, mostly in Wild where cards are never cycled out and things get pretty crazy

    Rare Earth, run by the son of Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield, tells deep stories from obscure places

    NileRed does crazy chemistry stuff

    I really agree with the people recommending Technology Connections and Techmoan

    This Old Tony takes you along as he does stuff on his workshop

    The Drum Thing and rdavidr both make interesting videos about weird from equipment, which I never thought I’d be interested in

    You may have heard of The Game Grumps before but The Ten Minute Power Hour on their side channel The Grumps has me in stitches every episode

    The backlog of the late and great Technoblade, probably one of if not the top Minecraft PvPer while he was alive, is always worth a watch

    I never played WoW but I love Crendor’s Pointless Top Ten videos and Barny64’s slow decent into madness playing WoW Classic

    I might come back to do more later, I’m doing all of this from a tablet lol
