Crash Course by Complexly is a great resource of subject area specific YouTube videos: https://complexly.com/shows/crash-course/
and Khan Academy is another great resource of k-12+ educational videos and lessons in all subjects: https://www.khanacademy.org
also Autodesk Instructables has some great STEM lessons, but can be a bit confusing to navigate sometimes: https://www.instructables.com/teachers/
for K-12 Stem education Autodesk softwares are provided free to students, and Autodesk has a wide variety of tutorials on learning CAD https://www.autodesk.com/education/home
With Trump's talk of eliminating the US Department of Education, I want to compile a list of free and accessible materials for students, educators, and continuous learners.
Project Gutenburg has a library of over 70,000 free eBooks and audiobooks, with particular emphasis on those in the Public Domain.
The California Department of Education has compiled a list of Free Educational Resources that were originally meant for distance learning during Covid. I think these are primarily for grades K-12.
Library Finder is a free website that can point you in the direction of your closest local library. Libraries are an amazing resource for literacy programs, community outreach, computer access, and much more.
The University of San Diego has compiled a list of Top 24 Educational Resources for Teachers. Most of these are free, free with ads, or free with an account.
National Geographic has a list of Education Resources on their website. I highly encourage everyone to explore the website on their own time.
PBS has a bunch of different educational resources on their website that you can browse easily by subject and grade level.
Please add more resources if you come across them. This is by no means a comprehensive list.
So I was helping siphon gas out of a lawn mower that finally died (RIP Elon Mulch) except we didn’t have any tubing so we weren’t actually siphoning gas, I was holding a funnel and my father was holding the lawn mower upside down shaking it, needless say I got covered in gasoline (RIP bob ross T-shirt).
This may seem silly but this is what I needed to hear in 2016, so I’m going to say it now. It’s okay to feel hopeless or angry or scared or betrayed or even just mildly nauseous. However you feel is the right reaction for you. You’re just not allowed to kill yourself. You are too good, too valuable, too important for this to be the thing that takes you. Yes the world is a mess, but taking one good person out of it isn’t going to make it any better.
So take care of yourself. Wrap yourself in that blanket. Get that hug. Eat that mug cake. Find your life preserver whatever it may be and keep going. You are stronger than you realize.
Deciding to do something when you’re feeling defeated is hard. If all you can take care of is you today, focus on doing that. Tomorrow or a week from now you can look at what your community needs to do to weather the storm in the long term. Yes communities are hurting now, but having to grieve one more person isn’t going to make anyone’s life any better. Please keep going. Please don’t let this election take you too.
God my favorite thing about the ancient world though is that they were so dedicated to making things pretty just like us. I love seeing the marginalia in bibles and the pictures they commissioned and the letters they spent extra on. I love that we wrote poetry two thousand years ago and put on theater and made art. I love that pots and bottles and tombs and beds and cribs have designs on them I love the graffiti on ancient walls I love the fact that they danced and sung and made art just like we do!!!! We are the same we are the same we are the same

I hate that thing some people do where it's like. "I left my wallet on the table to see if you'd say anything" or "I wanted to see if you'd wash the car if I stopped doing it"
Cause like
I dont know about anyone else
But I am perpetually hovering three inches above the strong subconscious belief that everyone knows what they're doing at all times except me, so if you change your normal patterns and I notice, then I will assume it is an intentional choice with a thought-out plan behind it and I will avoid interfering
And if I don't notice, because I won't, because why would I, because not much bothers me and if you don't say anything to indicate you are bothered then how would I KNOW
