important info i want to have readily available in one place
separated by reason for being saved. i'm a man of many talents (all of varying skill), and make heavy use of tutorials when i find myself hitting a roadblock. i also watch a lot of video essays and have a few i'm especially fond of in both topic and informational quality. sometimes they're interesting, like inherent racism in the goth scene or the history of my chemical romance, sometimes they're just helpful like how to mend your clothes or a versatile graphing calculator app, and sometimes they're just shitposts i think about like once a week. may you get some use out of this
practical tutorials i found very helpful (usually sewing related)
- how to identify quality in clothing by bernadette banner
