  • My subscriptions feed (food and science) is mostly channels I’ve been subscribed to for years now and they’ve all maintained their high quality or improved.

    For food, Carla Lalli Music is an entertaining chef and recipe developer who shares recipes from her books. She takes inspiration from all sorts of cuisines and blends them into delicious, adaptable recipes. Crispy gingery ground beef like lime and herbs earned an instant spot in my regular meal rotation.

    Claire Saffitz and her team bring mostly baking videos with occasion forays into cocktails, dinners, and lifestyle. Expect lots of cat cameos and fun editing easter eggs.

    NYT Cooking has a good variety but their stars are Sohla and Ham El-Waylly, a wildly creative culinary power couple who can make a multi course tasting menu out of anything.

    For all things science, basically anything out of Complexly Studios is worth your time. My personal favorite is SciShow Tangents. The various MinuteScience channels are great too (minutephysics, minuteearth, and minutefood ), and while the titles/thumbnails can feel a little bit clickbaity at times, the content is solid and informative.


  • Many people have suggested walking and creative outlets. I think painting rocks is a good way to merge the two together. Go on a walk with the intention of finding a rock you like. It can be big, small, smooth, rough, maybe the shape of the rock reminds you of something or maybe it’s just a rock. Then at home just paint it however. It’s low stakes cause it’s just a rock, it has a clear finish point, it can be as high or low effort as you want. Big, small, plain, intricate, concrete, abstract. Just get a rock and put some paint on it and then you can feel accomplished cause you did something good for yourself.
