Sam Pepper and the It's On Us campaign *TRIGGER WARNING: Sexual Assault/Rape*

So by now most of you will have seen Sam Pepper's new video. Now, I don't watch him, I'm not subscribed, I've never seen one of his videos. Until today.

Interesting Channels on YouTube

I've been spending a lot of my limited free time on YouTube recently, and thought that instead of talking about what I've been watching, I should tell you about some of the awesome science channels that are on there (in no particular order).

1. Veritasium - this is a channel that tries to explain so many things about the world around us by showing us cool things. For example:

This explains what a kilogram actually is and how the definition is changing. Now I had never even thought about this before but found it incredibly interesting to watch!

2. Vsauce focuses more on mind blowing facts. This video completely blew my mind!

To think that we're all at least 50th cousins! Say what?!?!?

3. Crash Course - This channel is by the awesome John and Hank Green but is more to teach us about things than to make our minds explode.

This video may be a little bit on the controversial side for anyone who's religious, but I find this stuff very interesting, although Hank did use a bit too many long words!

4. Sci Show - Yes, another channel from the Green brothers, this time focusing more on science news.

Now Blogger has decided to stop embedding videos, so here's the link to a video about why we lie - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MX3Hu8loXTE&list=TLMW6oE4I-1m_n7IyNkSrmOSaAFRcusjXZ.

As you can see, there are so many different aspects to our world that can all be explained using science! Hopefully in the future I'll be able to discuss things like these on here. I know this has been a bit of a lazy post, but revision has just taken over recently - luckily within two weeks they'll all be over!

Playlist Live 2014 (and why I want to be there!)

¡Hola! This weekend will be the annual Florida YouTube conference that is Playlist Live, and I'm not gonna lie, I wish I was there - much better than the world of mocks and coursework deadlines that I live in now. Most of YouTube's 'most subscribed' will be there, including Zoella, the Holy Trinity (Grace Helbig, Hannah Hart and Mamrie Hart), Miranda Sings and Charles and Alli Trippy.

Camp Takota, Friendship and Community Spirit

So I don't know if you've heard, but a film called Camp Takota came out on Friday, and it was kind of a big deal, for me at least. Now, I know that some of you might not know anything about Camp Takota, and that's okay, I'll fill you in.
