Blippi was just a YouTuber when my kid was little (we discovered him during the pandemic, I think) and not yet legitimized by being on Netflix. I disliked him so much I told my son the show was canceled and you couldn't watch it anymore on YouTube. I especially hate that Blippi teaches kids how to spell his name, so you can't even use the grown-up trick of spelling the thing you want to discuss w/ another adult w/o your kid hearing.

Also, I struggle big time with freizeitstress! Thanks for giving me a word for it!

Hahaha the spelling! I didn't even think about that. I did the same thing with my kid. There was something unsettling about it that I couldn't quite put my finger on but that piece does a really good job of breaking down everything I don't like about it, and some things I didn't even know I didn't like lol

I have no idea who Blippi is (and I’m not going to start looking for him), but I’m glad I got to read this sentence: “Love is important, and if you think that’s corny or cringe, you can f!ck right off.”
