what completely changed my perspective on poetry was learning that it sounds different in your head than it does spoken out loud. you can read it in privacy, but not like a secret.
girl, i feel you when i comes to nutrition. i was brainwashed by the "health and fitness" industry. (not saying you are brainwashed in any way) but i feel for you. i hope you are able to find someone who actually takes the time to work with you and listens and has empathy. nutrition and our bodies are so individual, no one knows your body better than you. sending you all the good vibes
listening to you talk about How Not to Die, I'm reminded of the time I was coding a doctor's dictation of a patient needing a triple bypass and in the history section it said the patient was a long distance runner, strict vegan, didn't drink/smoke/use substances, had gone abroad specifically to attend health conferences and workshops. I could almost hear the frustration of like "I DID EVERYTHING RIGHT" in the recounting.
I’ve just recently found your channel and we have a very similar taste in books. I’m wondering if you’d be interested in making a video on your favorite books that “celebrate mundanity.” I also realized recently these have always been my favorites, as well as movies that feature these (i think part of why I love Studio Ghibli).
that's a good idea! maybe someday
Would love such a video too!
I was diagnosed with autism last month at the age of 41 and my therapist suggested I read unmasking autism and I have been slowly working through it and loving it too.
the mug, the coraline (?) doll, the sweater. thankyou for always bringing us the coziest vibes !!! ૮ ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ ა
me, cheering the entire time during your rant on nutrition. me, also YELLING when you said "Freelee the Banana Girl" WHAT A THROWBACK OMG
Hands down, my favorite 2022 find on TH-cam!
I usually never comment, but I just have to tell you, that you have quickly become my favorite book tuber:) I was really exited to see `What we can see from here` in the video, having read the original in german I felt the writing was its strong point, but can imagine a translation falling flat. Thank you for all your hard work to put out the videos, they always brighten up my sunday evening. Greetings from Munich, Germany!:)
I love How Not to Die for all the evidence-based recommendations! No, it is not practical to incorporate everything into my daily diet, but its great for those who want to improve certain lab work without meds (such as LDL “bad cholesterol”)
Yesss! Maintenant Phase is my favorite podcast! Looking forward to reading Aubrey’s book.
Alison Cochrun made me realise I can enjoy romance novels. I read The Charm Offensive in december and it made me feel all the feelings haha.
happy 30k! 🎉❤
I heard “you don’t look sick” so many times I now always make sure not to wear makeup at docs appointments. Sad that it is a thing! I have chronic migraine too. Thank you for your videos! 💜 🐌
this is such a smart idea wow i never considered - thank you for the tip!
omg congrats on unlocking your poetry girlie powers!! so excited for u 💌
your deep thinking and ability to translate is so good. especially regarding the food book.
Hahaha I love the way you speak on everything! Also shouts out for the suggestion on how to read that food book. That shows so much healing around food that you carry!
very hyped for next week's vlog!!!
Watching your videos makes me feel warm inside
Congrats on 30k, Ally!!! (Also, just finished A Psalm for the wild-built. Thank you for yelling at us about it, I loved it 😂🤍
I’m so glad you liked both Devotions and Homegoing! Two of my faves! 🥰
i literally lol'd at your wigglytuff named "shein haul", hahaha.
Your video edits are seriously everything! I live for the notification ping of your next video! I mean, the videos, content etc as a whole rule, but man you're absolutely slaying the theme game.
all the tabs in the mary oliver collection already!! so glad ur enjoying it, i love the way u talk about how fiction/nonfiction/poetry all need different parts of ur brain and am glad ur unlocking new things to love :o)
"unmasking autism" is life-changing for me, it solidified my suspicions of me possibly being autistic. ever since, so much of the things i experience make sense for me. it's nice to know you loved the book too since you're the one who introduced me to it :)
Your channel has become such a comfort in the past year I am so thankful for all your videos🤧 I don‘t know what it is but your videos are so cozy, such a safe space they feel like a home 🥹 they tickle just exactly the right part of my brain :3
Oh my gosh, I love Maintenance Phase. The snackwells episode hit me right in the nostalgia. I cannot second that recommendation enough.
NOTIFICATION SQUAAAD!!!! Hi Ally, love your content so much. Happy new year!
Okay okay okay and now half of these books are added to my tbr. Alison why do you do this to me??? I don’t need to buy more books!!😂😂😂😂
Homegoing staring at me on my TBR shelf 👀👀👀
my journey with my chronic pain has been waiting to see doctor/specialist -> being told there's nothing they can do/given painkillers. no one wants to spend more time figuring this stuff out, it's incredibly frustrating. you are not alone in this crap, I'm sorry you were told you "Look Fine" that is insane coming out of the mouth of someone who's supposed to know their shit. ANYWAY i love your videos and the way you talk about books and your vibes and how candid you are about mental and physical health. keep up the great work!
I would love to hear more of your non, book recs too. I love hearing about podcasts and shows people watch
Any romance recs you make, I'm in! I read Dating Dr. Dil in December and it was FIRE!!!
:) started my new reading journey at the start of this year which you helped encourage. I have started with lonely castle in the mirror and I am loving it so far!
AAAA I’m so happy to find a booktuber that is open about their Autism (I need more recs if you have any). I knew I loved your presence for a reason and I’m so glad I can see myself in your ever-zooming eyes. Also 6 books in a month is awesome!
OMG WOOORD on the How Not to Die book, I 10000% agree. Also, Maintenance Phase is the best!
i’m taking a break from Tomorrow x3 because it made me SOB (first time a book has made me cry in forever) i need the warm hug that is this channel 🤍💐
Happy New Year! ❤
I really enjoy listening to maintenance phase! Mike from the podcast hosts another tangential podcast called if books could kill, that goes over the "airplane books" pop nonfic that spread blatant misinformation and break it down from "there's nuance to this take" to "the study says the opposite of what the author claims it says" and it's done wonders for my critical thinking in the few episodes already out
Every eeveelution is the superior Pokémon 🙌 excellent priorities
I have been binge-watching the past 2 years' videos and this has quickly become on of my favorite channels! As a fellow neurodivergent & chronically ill human I relate to you so much, i feel for you and your experiences with health, doctors and the whole 'but you don't look sick'. I have a pretty similar reading taste so I leave every single video with more books to add to my tbr. (currently reading Unwell women after seeing you talk about it!) Also, I love that sweater!! Where did you get it?
aww thank you so much :') i'm happy to hear it.
as for the sweater, i'm pretty sure she's from pull and bear from a couple years ago!
omg the cutie little mug of le petit prince 🥺
few things more frustrating than dealing with intense pain and doctors brushing you aside because they don't think you LOOK sick .. it took 6 years for my doctors to figure out that the pain i was experiencing was real and due to cysts on my ovaries, which they only found by accident during an unrelated procedure. the solution? take advil for the pain :))))))
Good luck with your food journey, i totally understand the struggle of trying to figure out how and what to eat in order to not suffer!! I hope you find what works for you 💖💖
About to finish Kiss Her Once For Me right now and I’ve absolutely loved it 🥰 ❄️
adding the surrender theory to my tbr!!
seeing my name in the end credits made me feel some kind of way :))))) you are so amazing and hope you realize how much of a difference you bring into people's lives. wishing you the best.
I also bought How Not to Die in my vegan youtube-watching days. Maintenence Phase is amazing! great rec!
december is always my 'slump month'. I take it easy, I read if I want to (which rarely happens. if it does, it tends to be a reread), I play on my switch or do anything else lol.
so it's nice when I see other readers also take december slow.
🐌
I don't read a lot of collections of poetry, but my favorite poem is "Wishbone" by Richard Siken, you should check out everything he writes because he's so good
I love the undertale music used :,)
I was not expecting a Pokémon party update in this video, but I am all here for it!!😂👏
I absolutely loved the comments you made on the How not to Die book. I’ve had a doctor that tried to make me make a radical shift to being vegan. Brought it up all the time. Never made that change.
I love the shout out to Maintenance Phase. It’s really so good. And I just have to say, How Not to Die is such a shitty title. It makes it seem like we are 100% in control of our health outcomes if we “take control” of our bodies, but that’s literally impossible. Genetics plays such a huge role. Socioeconomic status plays such a huge role. I’m not surprised the author was fatphobic and reductive. I’ll also add that rhetoric like that feeds directly into fatphobia by implying we all can look and be whatever size/level of health by just trying hard enough, which is the main point fatphobes love to lob at fat people. “Just try harder and eat better” is not helpful.
i could not agree more! learning about beets was fun and all but i did not like the misinformation casually sprinkled throughout.
also you're right about the health/genetics thing. it was almost like a passive aggressive blame game in this book - which i also do not like.
toujours un plaisir ! :)
I need to know where you got your sweater and overalls. I love your wardrobe!! ♥️
sweater was pull and bear a hot minute ago and overalls were thrifted!
I am reading “Steeped To Death” and I think you would like it! Its a cozy mystery book set in a book/tea shop also there are witches☺️
I love that you are getting more into poetry!!! I think you should check out: NEPANTLA - AN ANTHOLOGY FOR QUEER POETS OF COLOR ( poems from writers including: Audre Lorde, Ocean Vuong, Danez Smith,etc).
okay i'm gonna read homegoing!! idk why i still haven't read it!!
Ah I’m so sorry to hear about your specialist experience. I’ve been there, telling my story and placing my hope in a specialist only for them to just try and give me diet pills to solve my problems 🙈 it’s exhausting. I hope you find someone who will listen and be compassionate!!
OK since you are entering your poetry girl era, I have to recommend Time is a Mother by Ocean Vuong! Beautiful beautiful beautiful ♥️
yesss i've read this one i love vuong!
Great video.
a book i just recently finished and loved was health communism by artie v. and beatrice published by verso books there was SO much information and it took me over two weeks to read since i was taking my time to make sure i grasped every chapter and rereading things. overall great read & super important information i think you would really like it!
Just added so many of these to my TBR!
I started reading How Not to Die but I couldn't get through it 😅
If you're in to podcasts/vodcasts, check out Simon Hill from The Proof (previously known as The Plant Proof). He's such a thorough host, and invites some of the most intriguing guests on. It's the science and data of How Not to Die but with a range of practitioners with much easier to digest and implement information.
He's also written a book but I haven't got around to it but from what I've seen, it's a good one!
i love this pod rec thank you!!
thank u for the potassium trivia yassss 🎉
medicine and current medical school curriculums are still sooooo outdated in regards to nutrition, food, eating and weight lol; i genuinely couldn’t think of someone less likely to write a nuanced book about it than an MD :~)
right? when he said, “doctors don’t have to take nutrition classes to be doctors.” the only thing in my head was all the spider-man’s pointing at themselves
@@allisonpaiges can confirm this is 100% what it looks like!! i have to listen to maintenance phase eps regularly to dislodge all of the misguided, completely-not-evidence-based bs i hear
If you liked Homegoing I highly recommend The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett, very simply split narrative of two sisters. One who decides to pass as while, and one who continues living as a black woman. So good!
oooh good rec i’ve read her too ☺️
I definitely agree that its frustrating when doctors don't approach nutrition with nuance, since how your body processes food is such an individual experience, and labeling everything as strictly "healthy" or "unhealthy" isn't reasonable. In 2020, for about 8 months I was eating a vegan diet, and I ended up having to stop because I had b12 and iron deficiencies that weren't getting better by eating a variety of foods and consuming multiple supplements a day. I had to go back to eating meat, which I'd prefer to not to do for so many reasons, but clearly it's what my body needs.
OH MY GOODNESS I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU LISTEN TO "MAINTENANCE PHASE" I LOVE THAT PODCAST (+ your channel). If you'd like to read more books about nutrition that aren't too packed with diet culture, I just read one that I found really interesting and helpful (Im in recovery from an ED) called "The gluten lie: and other myths about what you eat".
Also "Fearing the black body: the racist origins of Fatphobia", which I'm currently reading but would already highly recommend haha
bestie, the outfit is immaculate in this vid. where are the overalls from?
thank you! i'm pretty sure i thrifted these.
A moment of silent appreciation for SHEIN HAUL………. 🎉
Please look into how harmful and unethical Shein is.
You have an immaculate Pokemon team, I must say.
thank you so much!
Hi! I've just found your channel yesterday and I have been seeing all your videos haha. Love your style! I wanted to recommend to you Daytripper by Fábio Moon and Gabriel Bá (a really good graphic novel) and The great believers by Rebecca Makkai ! Greetings from Argentina!
Hi! Popping in to recommend the podcast Cut Through Nutrition (6 episodes posted in 2019 so it’s easy to get through)! I find almost every nutrition book out there that gives any advice on what to eat is problematic (and I’m a dietitian, lol).
I always appreciate your honest thoughts and feedback about your reading experiences! Hearing you talk about How Not to Die reminded me of a wonderful book I read a couple years ago. It has nothing to do with nutrition, but it WAS written by a medical Doctor. It's called The Deepest Well by Nadine Burke Harris, M.D., it is about "toxic stress" and how trauma is not always the "BIG T" kind but continues stressors (often associated with SES) can create similar responses and problems in our bodies/minds/lives. This book gave me similar vibes to Braiding Sweetgrass as far as Dr. Burke Harris's ability to use storytelling to explain complicated processes in the body and the human brain. I read if for a book club with other therapists and it was SO well liked by all of us. I highly recommend you give it a try and I would be so curious to hear your thoughts on it!
I've been really wanting to read Laziness Doesn't Exist by Dr. Devon Price!
me too!!
pokemon!! Goomy/Sliggo/Goodra are my favs! and in legends arceus, they actually have snail shells :-) there's also a pokemon called Gastrodon who is a slug (name is maybe a little on the nose but I love it) and its soso cute. sorry for the unrelated rambling I just love pkmn so much!!!!
oh, speaking of snails, I've been reading a book recently about them that I recommend called "A World in a Shell" and it's about snails in Hawai'i (where I'm from!) which used to be the most snail diverse place on earth. kinda sad but really interesting, and lots o snails of course
Wait until you get the snail legendary, I love him 💜🐌
Have you read : the reason I jump ? I‘d Love to hear your take on it
not yet!
*Eats Mini Reeses* hell yes to small changes FTW
what is the graphic novel about autism you recommended before? That sounds super interesting ❤
it's called, "camouflage!"
Hi! What was the graphic novel on autism that you mentioned?
camouflage!
pokemon is always the point! never far from the point when it's pokemon
oof that page in unmasking autism i am now immediately purchasing this book
also i am in LOVE with that jumper 😍
ok update adding almost every book to my tbr from this video
except how not to die 😅 HOW GOOD IS MAINTENANCE PHASE!
Hey!!!!! If you want a warm yet gut wrenching book about an animal, which is also a social commentary, you should check out Poonachi by Perumal Murugan
heard Ally say Bus and immediately wrote this
🚌 beep beep freddy is here
I have the original version of what you can see from here because I'm learning German and now I'm nervous about picking it up because I'm not really a magical realism girly :/
i think you'll like it then! it's light on the magical and heavy on the realism :-)
I read it in German and can tell you that the writing style of Mariana Leky is soooo lovely. Hope you will enjoy it!
I just found your channel and love your content ❤ Since you have snails and didn’t know there was a snail Pokémon 🐌 Did you know about the book The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating by Elizabeth Tova Smith? Didn’t want you to have more snail related fomo 😂😊🐌
yessss it’s on my favorites shelf!
Hi, I was wondering if there's anymore recommendations for books about autism? I'm autistic and have been interested in reading more about autism to understand myself better but I don't really know what to get. I'm definitetly going to start with the one suggested here, I also have Odd Girl Out: An Autistic Woman in a Neurotypical World which I have yet to read but I kind of struggle with gender stuff so Unmasking Autism really appealed to me based on your description. I recently found your channel and I'm excited to watch more :)
i loved odd girl out as well! my other fav one that is the most accessible is, "Connecting With The Autism Spectrum: How To Talk, How To Listen, And Why You Shouldn’t Call It High-Functioning"
@@allisonpaiges thanks for the recommendation, i'll check it out :)
shein haul 😂
I wanted the new Pokémon game, but I saw so many bad reviews - especially about the graphics - it scared me off. I ended up getting Arceus for Christmas in stead. So the new one is okay? And OMG the excerpt from your autism book is 100% my experience with ADHD. Didn’t learn I had that until I was 42.
Also, I constantly twirl my ponytail. People ask me how I get it to curl like that. ADHD, BABY!
the new one is very laggy and the graphics need work but she's still so much fun!
ally! i have a historical fiction book i think you will love but beware it is sad! so read at your own risk❤ it’s called the stationary shop by Marjan Kamali 😊
begging you to read transcendent kingdom by yaa gyasi!! i think you’ll fall in love like i did
oh yeah i absolutely must! gyasi is an auto-buy author for me now 🌼
Do you have a favourite pokémon game? Cackled at your pokémon nicknames haha
i have a nostalgic connection to heart gold :') but violet is so fun!
When will you read God of Small Things? Don't you want to be transported to the warm, tropical, small town in Kerala? And spend time with a funny and smart pair of twins? Don't you want the poetic prose to wash over you? All while you learn about the caste system and political situation in post colonial India!!
it's the book club book for january! i just read her :-)
@@allisonpaiges i cannot wait for you to discuss it here!!!!
