I will admit to occasionally watching 'cat tv' bird/squirrel videos on youtube. My cat is, sadly, too smart to be into them -- after a quick exploratory paw confirms he can't reach into the screen, he curls up and goes to sleep. But clearly, I am less smart than my cat...
I, too, go to YouTube for soothing content. I go straight to furniture restoration, or garden reclaiming, or even hair cutting. Also, the rug cleaning! Ha. I even started doing a color by number game on my iPad. Whatever it takes to clear my brain from the horrors we’re experiencing many times a day.
Trump's base was primed for Epstein exposes in the 'off season' when Biden was in office, by all the right wing podcast grifters, including now members of his Cabinet, like Bongino and Patel. They never thought they'd be in power and have to 'prove' anything, so when the answer is "nothing to see here", the base was let down. And now they are coming for Pam Bondi, who claimed multiple times on camera that there was a list with names, and it was "on her desk".
Exactly! And they think it’s all Democrats on the list so they’re salivating to take the Dems down this way. Their eyes are not being opened about Tr*mp one bit, as far as I can tell.
I mean, there is video of them together, and pictures of Trump, Melania, Epstein and Maxwell that have been shown a million times. They pretend it doesn’t exist, so they can continue to believe their conspiracy theories and that Trump will save them.
I think the significance of the Epstein list among Maga is a total Elon Musk planted story to push Trumps button, like my kiddos in the back seat during a road trip. I don’t think they really care about this story.
I believe the magas thought The Epstein List was how they were FINALLY going to nail the Clintons, and they are furious Hillary is getting away again because damn it they want her head on a pike! It very well could name Bill. But it also - for absolute certain - names their very own orange, who has the whole political arena in a hypnotized trance, so it was never see the light of day.
Water cycle restoration or landscape revival/transformation videos (or before and after stills) are my favorite. I didn’t consider it soothing until you pointed it out. Watching people build smile berms and then seeing the greening and growth a year later, multiple years after … Water Stories is full of them, any Natalie Topa project, or on the epic scale like Sebastiao Salgado’s ranch in Brazil - it’s so satisfying!
Handbag restoration absolutely- but also cleaning videos and Poppy Lu’s sewing videos - she buys sheets and curtains and table cloths in thrift stores and turns them into beautiful clothes.
I took a freshman math seminar in college called “Chance, Choice and Chaos.” Here I first learned of Chaos Theory. I am now 52 and, after years of personal experiences and lots of investigation, I believe we will likely get to see massive magic (aka Chaos) happen in the coming years. We will likely get to truly know the secrets the Universe holds.
I think each of our souls are probably very old. Our energies, even though diverse, get sent from the same source. We are a soon to be peace (yes, world peace) of the whole. We’ve lived many lives in every sort of bodily configuration. We hold within us the very things we have hated and were horrified to witness, experience and to perpetrate. I think and feel the collective storyline is leading us each to see for ourselves that we are each a unique reflection of the entirety of the vast system we are born from. I believe in the wisdom that astrology, Human Design and other esoteric ideas hold. We tend to take the small wisdoms (biology, chemistry, quantum physics) seriously, but not the large. I guess it is scary to admit we don’t know what causes the odds we all face. We are each an aspect of God, and so is everyone else. If God is the algorithm that can be recognized by looking at where the planets and celestial objects are located, the angles between them (angels) and sine waves (sin between our body’s and personality’s pushes and pulls, along with the collective “shoulds” that are perhaps vastly wrong for us) included in the snapshot at one’s birth (and 88 days prior to that, as well, for Human Design) there is likely a way to see into what the Universe is doing to us and is asking of us. No one is then solely to blame for these events AND we can demand change from the systems handed down to us, many outside our control, and one another on an individual level, so that NO ONE continues to be unseen, powered over and hurt. The people who are hurting others (which is really everyone in some sense) hold energies given by the system we are born into, and these energies cannot be destroyed. They likely operate on a spectrum from detriment to exalted, that we can learn about. They too are God. Yet these energies must be given the proper venue so that within how our system has evolved (see Gate 3 of the IChing: Difficulty at the Beginning) they can’t power over those not giving consent to such experiences. For example, one day SOON there shall be no more infant genital mutilation. Full stop. This was certainly a “difficulty at the beginning.” Age 99, like in the Bible, HAVE AT IT.
Trump and company, in some sense, “won.” They are kings of a hill. They now want to keep what they “wheeled and dealed” for. The abundance. The creativity. The ability to PLAY. Even the fear. They don’t want to rot in prisons. We should not want that for them. If we keep up this tit for tat, then none of us can ever be truly “off the hook” for our own shadows and darkness that hold our own complicity. Good thing, perhaps, that AI and the exponential technological advances of the future will likely be a key to unlock all sorts of creative possibilities and solutions.
The Epstein saga once upended me relentlessly as a parent of a then tween and now teen daughter, and an adopted young adult daughter as well. It still makes me mad. It was vile to me to think of how many girls and women had been so used and hurt, and how many still are being used and hurt. And how many men, now stuck in time, now “blackmailed” into keeping this shitty and stale scenario running and relentlessly still so stuck. Think about it. The entire foundation of our economic system is based on doing this kind of thing. People in board meetings likely talking about perpetuating poverty and child sexual abuse to create the “whores” and “pimps” needed for the billion dollar enterprises everything else is likely funded from, and through which the rich get richer. Ultimately no one is “good” until everyone sees and has their YES and their NO intact, and the world does a reset based on our individual TRUTH.
I can intuit what the desperation of being materially insecure and in a precarious life situation might do to someone offered $500 to give “massages” at a fancy party. Coming into one’s sexuality can also be a form of power some teens and young adults can be enticed to experience. So too the world of richness and abundance. It all depends on the circumstances and the amount of secrecy this entails. The Epstein situation seems to have involved loads of secrecy, which is something that must change, and seems to be changing, no matter if an official list is released or not.
We are in times of increasing options regarding our own sexuality and ways to explore all our desires and limits too. I think we are all waking up to see the chaos within the Chaos Theory, throwing us into new realms previously thought to be make believe. Movies, music, games, literature, religion, philosophy and art likely foretell what is coming or what has been here all along. I guess I hold out hope that there is freedom to be had for ALL. I want good for all people and life on this planet and beyond. I think we all need to hold on and let go as we can. BOTH and an AND. We WILL and we CAN. 💫🙏🏽💕
Ive loved the old videos you are sharing and think a lifetime of meaningful restorative projects sounds pretty great! I also watch farrier videos; also dog grooming, and haircuts. Finally, ballet pointe shoe fitting and ballet and equestrian videos in general. Perhaps needless to say, I don’t ride or do ballet, like at all.
It’s the dog and cat videos for me. Or funny, likeminded content creators; trying to find humor somehow in this mess of a country. I don’t turn on the tv. Too much of too much. I do love the power washing and rug cleaning though. Also the people who clean the lawns/homes of the less fortunate.
I watched the rug ones for awhile, and grass-cutting on properties that were totally overgrown. So soothing. My latest is cow hoof trimming! Weird but also soothing. Not to mention my favorite the The Hoof GP from Scotland, whose brogue takes me back to happier times in the Highlands.
More recently it has been chiropractic videos. There is something satisfying on hearing the crack — especially since it not your own bones doing the cracking. Lol
Cake Decorating videos do it for me. I've joked they are the intersection of meditation and pornography: both soothing and exciting!

I do hope you renovate properties for the next 50 years! I love following along.
I was wondering how your philosophy classes are going.
I was really into cow hoof trimming videos for a while. They’re kind of gross, but it’s sweet to see the way that they care for the cows.
Also, I’m taking a break from the ‘gram so I’m sad to miss kitchen island content. 😢
Me too! The Hoof GP is my favorite. :)

My sister likes icing flooding videos—outlining a shape on the top of a cookie and then filling it.
I really like farrier videos—mostly horses, also cows, getting hooves cleaned and trimmed. AND lawn care, like SB Mowing. Ahhhhh.
Yes! Me too--love to see all things trimmed, include hoofs and grass. :)
Handbag restoration absolutely- but also cleaning videos and Poppy Lu’s sewing videos - she buys sheets and curtains and table cloths in thrift stores and turns them into beautiful clothes.
Just followed Poppy Lu!! So satisfying. Thank you!
I’m a pottery student so I can lose track of serious time watching pottery videos
