Oona @ Metacog Misfits ,

Check. It. Out.

True crime, abnormal psychology, human behavior, science, and humor all rolled into one. It's the educational laugh you didn't know you needed.

If there was ever a time to need good humans...

We all need this right now! Evidence-based content about being a good human. With wonderful bits of humor sprinkled throughout!
