One conclusion that I've made while living through record breaking hotter summers and poorer quality air is that I would much rather have breathable air and a habitable temperatures outdoors then a billion dollars. The quality of life afforded by having the ability of going outside and not feeling like I'm dying is worth way more that any about of money.

whats quite tragic is that I'm now realizing that this is something I've taken for granted.

The best resources to learn Blender from are still the Blender manual, but that's a bit dry as most manuals are and videos are often better, and so for the rest the Blender Studio folks. Plus, you're supporting free culture works in the process! https://studio.blender.org/ has some resources free, and you can pay to get access to the rest, but they're all under CC BY, which is pretty great.

The second best are tons of shy and excited people on YouTube who want to show you a few tips.

Some of my favorites:

- Harry Blends
- Sophie Jantak
- Deduze
- Pepe School Land, especially the Grease Pencil Random Tips and Tricks series (name is unrelated to the popularity of a certain frog)

Getting started with Grease Pencil first is often a good idea, because 2d is a gentler introduction for many people, but it also eases you into many of the 3d concepts.

Blender Studio

Blender Studio is a web service that provides access the training videos and all the data from the Blender open projects.

"You have improved," the swordmaster said.

"Thanks to my new sword," said the student.

The swordmaster studied the blade and frowned. "This is enchanted?"

"You know about cursed swords that whisper that you should kill?"

"Yes?"

"This tells me I'm loved and valid."

"Ah. Well. It's not wrong."

"After years of painstaking research in ancient grimoires and microcontroller logic, I have perfected it!" the professor exclaimed.

"What?"

"All printers are possessed. I've made a PDF which performs an exorcism."

"So you print it, and then the printer works?"

"Yes!"

"What if it won't print?"

Was going through some very old folders and found this art project I made about an extinct race that lived inside of a snack mix ecosystem.

the holes in the rye bread are the remains of their gestation process.

the sesame seeds are where they buried their dead.
