    this was filmed over a weird bit of time in my life and looking at it now a lot of this feels cringey or obnoxious, mostly because i felt very outside myself while filming this, but i know im also my biggest critic so here's the vlog that im halfway proud of :')

      Cari you conveyed excellently the deeply felt, complex and human emotions and thoughts that so many of us are living with right now. Your speaking out about all the polarisation that has created such fear and hatred of "others" was so welcome, we need people to just express their humanity. With all the wars and destruction that is taking place on this planet I am so grateful to the students around the world who are standing up for those who have been silenced. It is such a crazy time and let me thank you for being so open about yourself and condolences for your loss of another precious person. We are all over-whelmed by the content we are seeing and yes we have found that carefully curating what we consume has been very helpful for the heart and mind and sleep. Sending much love to you and Kurt.

    my husband as a photographer often sparks up conversation with people from all different walks of life and it is always so interesting that he can just- listen to them. their belief systems, what they care about, and even find similarities within those beliefs. we have more in common than we think. sadly a lot of people fall into darkness without realizing it thus creating more divisiveness.

  • @midnightmara

    I always giggle when cari shows food because she typically does a few pans then a final shake of the drink/dessert/bowl. It is like a silent "Look at this! yum!" it's so characteristic of her vlogging style

    Your videos come out at night for me, so the first thing in the morning on Sunday I watch your videos in bed (sometimes with a cup of coffee and my cat sleeping on my legs) and get so much needed positive energy for the whole day ❤

  • @audreybrown4714

    I really applaud you for trying to expand your realm of understanding towards others because it's SO IMPORTANT 😭. Personally, I've been blankly rejected many a time for my opinions which really does hurt no matter which side you're on, and it is so prevalent nowadays that those with differing opinions automatically view you as bad which is AWFUL. Think for yourself, see the other side, and don't let stupid prejudice cause you to hurt others, or spread hate like it is doing way too much of right now

    I'm sorry for your loss, Cari. I hope the good memories of them last forever. Hugs to you and Kurt. It's sometimes so much worse when it's just out of the blue. I can sadly relate a little bit; I was scarily close to losing my mother unexpectedly right around this same time. (She's recovering nicely now.)

    Hour of the Star is one of those classic books you read in high school here in Brazil, so it's really cool seeing this. Here we also have that stereotype of people posting aesthetic pictures with her books but never really reading them, it's funny how that's something not exclusive to Brazil. I remember not really liking the book when I read it, but again, required reading in high school, so it's not really surprising. I should try and read it again now that it isn't homework anymore, Clarice has a really distinct writing style.
    Also, more brazilian author recommendations: Machado de Assis and Jorge Amado are also classics here and they're awesome. There's a ton more, but those are ones I really like and they probably have a lot of books translated to english.

    Hi Cari, I first discovered u in 2020. I was 14 year old, alone in a foreign country due to covid, and not well mentally & physically. Your vlogs, your vulnerability and sincerity in front of the camera were such a stable source of comfort for me. Your vlogs made me realize that there is joy in small things in life. So thank you, and reserve some kindness for yourself for all the kindness you have given to us.

    My dad and I watch Peter Santenello’s videos frequently, we find them so insightful and educational on various areas and the people living there, and at times I’ve never heard of these places (I’m from the UK). It’s literally our bonding time when we watch them😂 and we have interesting conversations about the people he comes across and how they impact the places they’re living due to certain mindsets and morals.

    Carie, this video is so beautiful and transparent. Firstly, I’m sorry for your loss and kurt’s, I hope your hearts are being comforted! I understand what you were saying about communicating with people who has perspectives that are divergent from ours. Right now I am going through this kind of situation and I see how this can be challenging, but also necessary to see people beyond the preconceived ideas we have about them. I also so happy (almost teary) seeing that you read Clarice Lispector! She is one of my favorite writers, and one of my first contact with literature. Love, from Brazil! :) 🫂

  • @gerrakay
    @gerrakay Před 2 měsíci +2

    Not exactly the same, but your discussion of others' perspectives and specifically Appalachia reminded me of the Soft White Underbelly channel. He interviews all sorts of people who don't usually seem to get to share their stories, and while a lot of the videos are quite sad or at least heavy they always give me a lot to think about. I can't remember if you've mentioned the channel before but I wouldn't be surprised.
    I love a yappy vlog! One of my favorite things to do on my chill Saturdays is watch your vlog(s), and talkative ones are always welcome. (And I'm also obsessed with that Spark song LOL.)

    As a Korean American, female, hetero, retired police officer, I am about ALL lives matter including blue, black, latinos, lgtbq and etc. I appreciate that your initial inclination was to dismiss the video of the people with the blue lives matter t-shirts but then stopped and listened to their prospectives. I think this world has a chance to survive and become better because of people like you who are open to conversations and are not close minded to their own beliefs for the greater good. Keep spreading the good messages!

    • @caricakes
      @caricakes  Před 2 měsíci +17

      But the issue with the blue lives or all lives matter movement is that it started as a reaction to the Black Lives Matter movement. Imagine showing up at a breast cancer fundraiser event and trying to silence the attendees by saying "but ALL cancer matters."
      No one is saying any one life doesnt matter, but it was a movement that was shining a light on the Black experience in the US and the 'all lives matter' movement started with the goal of shutting that converstation down. I understand what you think you're saying, but you are taking it completely out of context. By saying all lives matter you are, in a way, saying the opposite.

    • @janeYS
      @janeYS Před 2 měsíci

      @@caricakes I hear you. The black lives matter did highlight some tragic injustices made by a small minority of uneducated and stupid police officers-the bad apples. I think it's really a societal ill that places people of all color in lower social and economic circumstances that lead them to commit crimes, have poorer health, lower education, low end jobs and these conditions go on and on for generations. And, if you read about history worldwide, many races and ethnicities have been and still are mistreated, dominated and brutalized. Their lives matter. They are asians, whites, browns, jews, etc. Their lives matter too. That's where I'm coming from. I sympathize with all colors and ethnicities.

    • @caricakes
      @caricakes  Před 2 měsíci +10

      Like I said, I understand what you believe and I'm with you - everyone deserves the right to love, happiness, and safety.
      But what I'm saying specifically about the blue lives matter movement and the all lives matter movement is that it is inherently anti-Black. It was created with an anti-Black agenda. So standing with that movement is actively standing against an entire group of people. That's why my guard immediately goes up when I hear "all lives..."
      You can say that you want all people to be uplifted and protected, but dont do it with a blue lives matter shirt, you know?

    I so agree with what you are saying about trying to see the humanity in all people! People having differing opinions is not the problem, and everyone is absolutely entitled to their beliefs. The problem is when they stop talking and shut others down because they aren't open to a respectful conversation, and we lose that vital human connection. I wish people had more genuine, regulated discourse instead of hating on each other and seeing who can shout their opinions the loudest. Bad things happen when humans stop talking with each other.

    ❤❤❤ thank you always, Cari. Even though you had a rough time during filming this vlog, this was so soothing and comforting to watch. I really needed to hear some of the stuff you've said. thank you for being here, this truly means a lot ⭐️

    I remember reading the hour of the star in high school here in Brazil as it was one of the obligatory reads! One of the few books I enjoyed. Have you tried Dom Casmurro by Machado de Assis? It's also really nice.
    Love the vlog, as always! ❤❤❤

    I have also been hooked on Jenny Nicholson's videos! I didn't think I'd end up watching that full Star Wars hotel vid but the time flew by. I also recommend Mina Le's videos for long-ish form content :)

    just on that bit about interacting with people with diff beliefs: one of the things i realized when i do actually talk to them is that a lot of people are just afraid for themselves (whether it’s being afraid of change, afraid of being told they’re wrong, etc) and that fear has taken root into something more vicious over time. It’s not always going to be pleasant interaction and I am also still working on it, but talking to them with that in mind has helped me a lot! Not to say I will go out of my way to be the “bigger person” but it does curb the kneejerk response of writing people off completely 😅

      Yes!! So many things are reactionary and people lose the root meaning of what theyre saying so they dont even understand the depth of harm/hurt they are causing by supporting, for example, blue lives matter. With conversation we can understand each other better 🤍

    Life can be so bittersweet, especially when we have unexpectedly unsaid farewells (which I’ve been through twice, one of them last month). Despite what you feel, this vlog felt very genuine (as usual) and I’d like to send a big hug to you both.

    OMG! You listening to Shakira's Moscas en la casa.. Thanks for being so honest about how you were feeling, and thanks for the reminder to check on a friend/family member. When I get that feeling, I always listen to Forever Winter (a devastating song, but for some reason, it gives me hope when I don't even know if I'm disarming a bomb .. if that makes sense). I'd love to know the name of the book the girl at the park was reading. I send you and Kurt so much love! Thanks for your vlogs (:

    I definitely think there's an importance in staying curious and gentle in regards to differing opinions. We're told to accept everyone, but I find when differing religions or politics enter the chat, that acceptance often stops. I think that's such a missed opportunity to be kind, to be curious, and to find a friend despite those differences. (One of my closest friends has an entirely different religion to mine, yet we're content to 'agree to disagree' and have been friends for nearly a decade). That's what I wish I saw happen more often with differing opinions. 💛

  • @sinceresafa

    loved the vlog as usual but this vlog in particular stuck out bcus of the mini-rants in between. it reminded me of my 2nd year studying literature. from exposing ourselves to different experiences (despite the obvious differences and moral disagreements) to the whole idea of censorship in media etc and the act of reading itself... my 2nd year summarised 😭😭
    i love when ur mundane travel vlogs merge with a tinge of reading/societal conversations

    • @caricakes
      @caricakes  Před 2 měsíci +3

      yes!! i feel like so much of the reading community is ready to cancel a book or author because of a character having complicated views or discussing difficult topics. I had someone recently comment that a book was problematic because it talks about self harm and "in 2024 authors likely would avoid talking about that" because it could be triggering - but it was written in such a healthy and responsible way.
      Kind of freaks me out to be honest :/
      and i hope you have such an amazing time!!

    • @sinceresafa
      @sinceresafa Před 2 měsíci

      @@caricakes we talked a lot about how problematic issues/things/ideologies should still be written about bcus the whole idea of “canceling a person/media” is so counter productive and redundant. It becomes a mechanism for power and reduces open healthy conversation!
      And tysm! 🫶🏻🫶🏻

    Cari, I'm so sorry for your & Kurt's loss and everyone else experiencing the grief. I had wondered whether you were OK when there was no vlog a few weeks back, and whilst I'm sad this was the reason why, I'm also happy you took the time you needed.
    Separately, a few channels my husband and I watch about general topics to learn more about the world & science: kurzgesagt, wendover productions, half as interesting, veritasium, vsauce!

    Jenny Nicholson is an obsession. Most things she talks about are way outside of my interest but she just explains things so thoroughly, it’s like taking a super in depth university class. I hate Star Wars to a level that I pretend it doesn’t exist, and I watched all 4 hours obsessively 😂 she also made a video last year making fun of the UNHINGED Easter plays at a church in my home city (we are… not a an “on the map” city, so it was wild to see).

  • @kellytippit2588

    That was the exact same Appalachia video that sucked me in too! I’ve also enjoyed Cecilia Blomdahl’s videos. She lives close to the Arctic and records videos about living through polar night in 24 hrs of darkness and traveling to different glaciers and staying safe from polar bears. Right now she’s putting videos up about the challenges of living with the midnight sun! Such a different way of living and it’s so interesting.

    Sorry for your loss. I love community development practices and from the people I’ve met in that field, they have really expanded how I view people and the words I use to communicate with others which really leads to better understanding. It’s small and niche, but you could check out the practicing connection podcast! I know one of the hosts from college and look up to him. The target audience for the podcast is military families but a lot of the practices at their core are for anyone.

    a little late to the party, but I just have to say that after being away from CZcams content for almost two weeks (ive been obsessing over the hunger games books and films yet again) I missed you and your vlogs so much! It almost feels like getting to see a friend i havent talked to in a while. your vlogs are so you that i can comfortably say theres no one doing it like you!
    hope you and kurt are doing better every day ❤ lots of love, Laris
