On occasion, we here do a thread of random positivity, where we start with a thematic prompt and talk about things that are enjoyable just for the fun of it. Past examples:

We have also had a couple threads of educational-resource recommendations. These are marginally more serious, since they're about gathering actually good explanations of things that sneerable people like to pontificate ignorantly on. But I'll list them here because learning is fun:

Feel free to comment in the old threads and/or suggest new ones in the comments here.

I'm grateful for all the queer people, kinky people, and women who taught me things about intimacy that the tech bro on Twitter never seems to have learned. OJST webcomic is still around too.

Many thanks for starting the thread!

My kids discovered Homestar Runner over the weekend and my eldest demanded that we write an email to Strong Bad right now. We asked the most natural question: "What's your favorite pokemon?"

The email address is still alive!

Also finished Robert Brockway's new novel "I Will Kill Your Imaginary Friend for $200." 5/5 stars. Hug your kids and brace yourself for some real emotional extremes. Probably should do those things separately, because while the book is about lonely kids coping with the horrors, it's not really for them. Also, you might cry. Served with good politics and graphic puppet murder.
