A Few Things About Tyler Oakley

It's safe to say in 2015 that YouTubers are becoming more and more well known. The first person that comes to mind when I think of YouTube is my favorite YouTuber, Tyler Oakley. And if you don't know who Tyler Oakley is, here we go. You're welcome.

Tyler first started making YouTube videos in 2007, while he was attending Michigan State University. Since then, Tyler has gained over 7 million subscribers on YouTube and his videos have over 500 million views collectively. So, Tyler has a lot of fans, and its all for a very good reason.

Tyler has been working with The Trevor Project since he first interned in 2009. The Trevor Project is an organization for the prevention of suicide among LGBT youth, since Oakley himself is openly gay. Tyler has hosted red carpet events for The Trevor Project, and with the help of his fans, (or as Tyler calls us, "my people") raised over $1 million for the organization in honor of Tyler's birthday over the course of 3 years.

Not only is Tyler Oakley supportive of an amazing charity, he also makes quality YouTube videos. His charisma, humor, and honesty can't be matched; he serves up major realness in his videos.

Plus, he gives some pretty great advice.

And he is the ultimate fangirl. He even put out shirts that said "Professional Fangirl" on it.

And to top it all off, Tyler wrote a book! His first book, Binge, comes out on October 20th. Even better, he might be doing a book signing in a city near you! Preorder Binge on Amazon, you will not be disappointed.

Thanks for reading! Go check out Tyler on YouTube.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
