Why YSK: Youtube's enshittification creates an abysmal experience. There's a list of Chrome extensions I've collected over the years that each fix an aspect of Youtube to bring back a genuine experience. I've seen in comments people mention one or two of these at a time, so this is a pack that contains everything you could need, and more.

Sample:

Essential Plugins:

Ghostery: Blocks trackers and ads
uBlock Origin: Blocks In-video ads
SponsorBlock: Skips in-video sponsor segments
Return Youtube Dislike: Returns the dislike button
DeArrow: Better titles and thumbnails, removes clickbait
Youtube Redux: Returns youtube to the older style
Style Bot: This tool allows you to edit CSS. With a bit of setup, you can use it to block sponsored videos from appearing in our video suggestions:

Open Stylebot options
Styles > New Style

URL: Youtube.com

CSS (copy and paste):

ytd-ad-slot-renderer,
ytd-rich-item-renderer:has(
  > #content
    > ytd-ad-slot-renderer
){
  display: none;
}

Save Style and Refresh Youtube

Optional:

Dark Reader: Dark mode on any web page (and you can toggle it per page as well)
Video Speed Controller: More control over video speed

I'm not OP, and I'm not an artistic person, but at one of my lowest points, I found pleasure in learning graffiti. The culture, the do's and don'ts, because I also wanted an outlet, and I've always colored between the lines. I wanted a voice, to be heard, and to say "I AM HERE" at the same time.

I'm a nobody in the graffiti world, but its a hobby anyone can do (but should not do).

Graffiti has a lot of meanings. When a spot gets covered by layers of graffiti, it's a message to the local government saying "do something about it" such as abandoned vehicles or neglected buildings. Graffiti can bring attention in a good (artistic) or bad (challenging authority) way.

And sometimes, it just means "look what I can do"

Either I have ADHD, or humans weren't meant to do the same job with the same tasks for years at a time

Didn't know that there were other options besides straight, gay, and bi. When I didn't fall cleanly in one of those, I considered what other options were there. I was always unsure, but i went in a wrong direction full of guilt and depression, thinking if im not those, the only other option is...the worst. We don't know what we don't know.

I never met an asexual, or a demisexual, or any other sexuality, up to this point. I may have heard the term asexual, but it was never described to me in a way that I could relate. It wasn't until after RE-WATCHING Bojack Horseman that I actually did thorough research on the topic, and all the stars aligned. The first time watching, it just didn't click, I knew there was an asexual character, but I didn't connect that i could be asexual.

I went 25 years not knowing I could be asexual. I'm 30 now. I only wish there was more representation as I grew up, but once I found out, I became the change I wanted to see, and started expressing it in my clothing, sharing with others, and helping clear up confusion.
