Good morning, John, it's Monday.

And I was just talking to you and you're not gonna make a video tomorrow because you are in the midst of finalizing the final draft of your book, Everything is Tuberculosis. And I am so happy that you are getting that done. I know you're super stressed out right now. I know that it's hard. I know that doing the first pass– they call it the “first pass”, which is ridiculous because it's the last time you get to make edits to the book. Then after that, there's a bunch of other passes that are just copy edits, which you cannot make substantial changes because if you're making substantial changes, then you're just introducing problems into the book that could become disasters.

But since you're not gonna make a vlogbrothers video tomorrow, and neither am I, though I am making one today, I've put together a playlist of some of the best YouTube videos I've seen in the last week or so, and you can watch those instead. And you should, especially this Nathan Zed video, which I– like, come on. Why is he so good? He has such good taste! The thing about Nathan is, I've never seen him make something that I– that didn't make me think, wow, he knows so much more than me about aesthetics. I don't know if that is just built into him or if he works hard for it or what, but man, this video is an explosion of aesthetic and also very wise. It's also very wise. It made me feel so many different things. But there's also other good ones.

There's this video from Camille called “oh rats it's the trolley problem” which–I don't know how it exists in the world.

There's a video from Technology Connections about how people finally did Christmas lights right, but they are already sold out because he's one of the most powerful men in America.

And while you're watching those videos, and it happens to also still be Monday, this is the last chance to use the 25% off “SAVE25” coupon code at Good.Store. Type in "SAVE25" as you're checking out– 25% off of everything. I have a drawer full of things–this is Dot’s Day Out, the puzzle! There's plastic-free alternatives to shampoos, like shampoo bars! And also, there are many soaps that smell so good. There's delightful stationery printed here in Missoula, Montana, and many options for delicious and amazing tea and coffee. It's all at Good.Store. You can buy stuff for the people in your life, whether it's for Christmas to put it in their stocking or under the tree, or because they just happen to be one of the 1/12 of people who have their birthday in December.

This is the biggest discount we will have of the holiday season, so if you want to use it– so if you want to use it, today is the day and tomorrow is not the day. Tomorrow is too late. And also, I think that you still can get–yes, you can, I just checked–you could still get our 12-pack of mystery socks for just $45 after that discount.

John, you're really stressed out right now. I know there's a lot to do. You are doing a good job and I'm proud of you and the book is very good and it is very worth the work you are putting into it to get it into the world.

John, I will see you next Tuesday.

Also, you can pre-order Everything is Tuberculosis right now. I will put a link to that in the description as well.
