i love you video essays i love you bibliographies i love you documentaries i love you research i love you sources from throughout history
i feel this so deeply. video essays are one of my favorite things. idc what the topic is, if you teach it well, i cant wait to learn.
psst. if you like videos essays by trans ppl. then in addition to those you listed in your tags i also recommend jessie "gender" earl (she/they, primarily media analysis with a focus on scifi), kaz rowe (they/them, historical), alexander avila (he/him, harder for me to categorize but i would say mostly social commentary in various forms), lily simpson (any pronouns, analysis of gender weirdness in media And Also That One Ten Hour Video), verity "verilybitchie" ritchie (she/her, media analysis), lily alexandre (she/her, describes her work as "good stuff (art), ok stuff (gender), and bad stuff (internet)"), caelan conrad (any pronouns, queer analysis), rose "mercurial rose" valentine (any pronouns except they/them, "pop culture, queer philosophy and overanalysis" and criminally underrated at less than 1k subs), and aranock (she/they, media analysis)
