Close your eyes and imagine this with us…
You live in a world where people just like you upload videos to an internet platform. These people have built audiences by the thousands and, in turn, another platform emerges that’s focused on the news and content that these creators are uploading. Oh, wait! This world isn’t imaginary and you guys have a platform that keeps you informed: us!
Without further ado, here’s this week’s Round-Up.
What are you prepared to be wrong about? | justkissmyfrog
Leena Normington has always inspired us. Lately, she’s been inspiring us to look at things from a different perspective.
This week, she attended the Greenbelt Festival, a festival of arts, faith, and justice that’s been occurring since 1974. This year, there was a theologian who caused Leena to think a little differently about how she’s been approaching her understanding of opposing views. Maybe what the theologian and Leena have to say will open your mind to a different perspective, too?
We’ve All Been There feat. Jack Howard & Dom Fera | TimH Films
Guess who’s back, back again. Tim Hautekiet is back, tell a friend.
Well, technically, he hadn’t gone anywhere, he’s just been working on school and short films. We just mean that it’s been a while since the Kings of Comedy™ – a.k.a. Tim, Jack Howard, and Dominic Fera – have come together to make our stomachs hurt with laughter. Trust us, your stomachs will be hurting.
Also, if you’re interested, check out the We’ve All Been There outtakes for even more laughs.
Growing up illegally gay – Four life stories | ‘I am…’ short film | Riyadh K
If you watch anything this week, we beg of you that it’s Riyadh Khalaf‘s most recent short film. And when you do, make sure you have your tissues.
Before 1967, homosexuality was illegal in the UK. Even after 1967, it was incredibly difficult to live your life openly if you were gay. Receiving one of the biggest rounds of applause last week at Buffer Festival, Riyadh’s film focuses on the lives and experiences of four gay men who lived through this difficult period.
Depression and Relationships – DEPRESSO #4 | paleghosty
You’ve all probably seen the name Daria Skubich on this site before. However, it’s usually under the authors section. You’ve heard that right, one of TenEighty’s own has made their way into this week’s Round-Up! *happy dance*
Daria has been uploading to YouTube for years. Luckily for us, they have recently started the series DEPRESSO, where they drink hot beverages and talk about mental health. Talking open and honestly about their first-hand experience with depression and how it has affected their life and relationships will hopefully spread awareness and understanding.
Whether you’ve suffered with a mental illness or not, everyone can learn something from this series.
Committing suicide… | CharlieVlogs
Speaking of depression and mental illness, Charlie Vincett uploaded an emotional rant this week, talking about mental illness and the pressure placed on young males to “be a man”. You can definitely tell that Charlie is fired up and cares about this topic a lot.
Suicide is a serious issue and a growing epidemic around young men, and Charlie is calling for a change. Hopefully, this video will resonate with you and inspire you to check in on your mates to make sure they’re having good brain days and taking care of their mental health.
Don’t worry, we have more for you!
This week, Charlie McDonnell‘s Fun Science series investigates why we enjoy music.
Have you ever thought about if the things you own bring you joy? Rufaro Faith explores this concept and applies it to her recent shopping trip.
It was bound to happen, Joe Sugg has recycled a prank. We’re not complaining though, because this prank on Josh Pieters was hilarious.
In America, they celebrate Black History Month in February. Here in the UK, though, we celebrate it in October, and Sam Saffold-Geri talks about some perfect books that we all should be reading this month.
