The Amanda Abbington Debate
Recently, an awful group on Twitter, hounded actress Amanda Abbington off of the social networking platform. I won’t name them, because I don’t want to give them the attention they so crave, so, I shall just refer to them simply as ‘EL’.

Pet Peeve: Wasteful YouTube Culture
I would be a hypocrite if I just randomly started bashing YouTube, as I love watching content and also make my own videos weekly. It's a great platform where people can express themselves, share experiences, educate, perform activism and much more. What I don't like about YouTube are the wasteful trends that keep popping up. It's frustrating to see that people produce content that is clearly bad for the environment, and even worse, the viewers seems to love it.

8 YouTubers to Subscribe to That Aren't Controversial Beauty Gurus
Now, I won't name names, but as many young watchers know, YouTube hasn't been the most pleasant place to be because of recent events. Don't get me wrong, there are still some amazing beauty gurus that are on YouTube like NikkiTutorials, but I thought I would make a list of channels that are stress free and make you feel like you have a place where you belong once again. THAT was the original purpose of YouTube. It's suppossed to be a place for creativity where everyone can escape to and feel at home. So here is a diverse list of YouTubers that I think are absolutely awesome and you should go subscribe to if you haven't already. (None of them are sponsoring me BTW.)

Cosplay Conventions Should Be All About Fun and Games.
As a long time cosplayer, I have found it extremely aggravating when people want to cause trouble and drama at conventions. I have seen way too much of it and quite frankly, I am sick of it. My friends and I are in the agreement that these conventions should be our escape from reality.

Jenna Marbles' New Youtube Video Just Made My Day
Jenna Marbles is amazing. She seems like someone I would genuinely enjoy hanging out with. The very amazing and successful career of Jenna Marbles appeared to have started after her video "How To Trick People Into Thinking You're Good Looking" went viral, and was viewed over 5.3 million times in its first week. It still remains her most popular Youtube video to this day. However, since then, she has made all kinds of great and amazing content. In fact, if you follow her Youtube channel, she is pretty good at getting at least one video out a week.

With the booming success of Marvel's twenty second installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), it's no surprise that the company decided to put the movie back out into theaters. With $2.75 Billion USD Endgame is currently sitting behind the highest grossing film of all time, Avatar, which has a gross revenue of $2.79.Billion USD. This competition is the stuff of legends and some pretty amazing memes, as Endgame quickly rose to sink other memorable movies such as Titanic. Many Marvel fans are hoping that this last push will get Endgame over the finish line.

The Top 5 Reasons Why You Should Start a YouTube Channel
"Welcome back Ladies and Gentlemen! My name is JeezBee and this is..." This is how I start ALL of my videos. YouTubers call this the intro. It's where you introduce yourself to your audience and where you will first grip their attention. (This is probably the most important part of your video.) It's also where you need to announce a "Call To Action" or where you ask your audience to comment, like, share, or (famously) subscribe.

Reexperiencing PsychoBabble
While on the road with family, I was listening to a podcast that I hadn't listened to in a long while. On one hand, it felt nice listening to something I hadn't in a few years. On the other hand, it's interesting hearing different examples of verbal freedom and humor in this time and age of online media.
