New vid! Health and etiquette manuals were VERY popular in the 19th century. Some of them were absolutely bonkers and even offensive, while others were surprisingly progressive. Come learn with me and let's rank some bad (or good?) historical health advice!

My video about that time Goggle AI made up a feud between me and Jessie Gender that supposedly “ended” my channel. Yeah, AI screws up everything and here’s one more example.

Every time Nazis try to use Tolkien to justify white supremacy, I like to float this 1941 letter in which Tolkien called Hitler a "ruddy little ignoramus" and accused him of "ruining, perverting, misapplying, and making for ever accursed" the spirit of the cultures upon which he based his works.

Sir Basil Von Pesto. A handsome young fellow.
Welcome officially to the family sir Basil Von Pesto.
He and the other cats seem pretty neutral towards one another so far, largely ignoring one another.
I think he’s not quite sure what to make of the big waggy woofy creature. She thinks he’s great and wants to be his best friend.

Just a friendly reminder that your desire to open a quaint bookstore in Edinburgh that doubles as a café and triples as a pet rescue is valid.
Don’t allow anyone to disrespect you by telling you otherwise.
