Love this channel: CheapRVLiving

Living Rent Free in a Greenhouse

I've been binge-watching this girl's channel. She seems like the most "effortless" minimalist I've ever seen.

This guy is so fun. I'm surprised I haven't found his channel before, it's right up my alley. Video from WayPoint Survival.

Someone speaking in fluent Toki Pona

I have no idea what this guy is saying, even though I memorized every word of the language he's speaking. I'm posting his channel (ma pona pi toki pona) for future reference.

More fun with toki pona, a constructed language

A while ago I was on a language kick, probably because I was holed up because of Covid. Studying a foreign language doesn't require much material and you don't actually have to go anywhere (though I suppose that's the point of learning it in the first place). Toki Pona only has around 120 words, and it appealed to my newfound minimalism ... so I thought, "Sweet! I can learn this alongside Swahili!" Then I got bored and doubted I'd ever use it, so how minimalist is that? Recently however I made a return, because I like the super-smart creative people who know it, and it's better than doom-scrolling. So here are some fun videos I found recently. The first one is from jan Telakoman, who teaches the language in an immersive way, telling cute little stories. The second is an 18 minute guide explaining the grammar.

Luxury Treehouse Vacation

I really like this guy's channel. He has a lot of diverse content. Video by Tonio Guajardo:

Is Bea Caruso going vegan?

Just after she built her chicken coop!

First ever film of Appalachian music

I love bluegrass, and this hundred-year-old clip even has buck dancing! After hearing the tune, I immediately thought of "Country Boy" by John Denver. Video by The Folk Revival Project.

Young lady recreates "Sweatin to the Oldies"

If you remember doing this back in the day, be prepared to feel *real old.* My mother had the VHS tape, and I did it once or twice ... but I was already pretty fit. This workout was no joke, though ... it was fun but you really did sweat!

Garden Nightmare Transformation

I don't know why, but I love watching disaster being salvaged.

The Court Jester (short film)

I always liked Richard Simmons.

DIY Bike Trailer Camping With Steve!

Can't keep a good man down!

pan nanpa wan (song in Toki Pona)

I tried learning Toki Pona (a minimalist, constructed language) a while back. I gave up when I tired of it, because, how minimalist is learning a language I'll never use? I've always loved the idea of a universal language, though, and Toki Pona is probably simplest of them all. This is a charming song, and there's a new course out there on youtube with "Carl Jr." teaching the language in glyph form, which is much more fun than learning it using the Roman alphabet, IMO.

I love inventive people, and this guy is up there! :)

Short Independent Film: Pay as You Go

This is a poignant film about loneliness directed by the guy who played Nick in "Nick and Laura." I didn't realize it, but he's also a musician who sang the last song in "Nick and Laura" and composed the score of this short film. Same hyper-real acting style. Try the subtitle feature.

Independent film by Simon Roper

From the guy who did the historical accent video I posted last month. A nerdy but attractive couple (who don't know each other) get locked in a room with a tab of acid. Oddly compelling:
