I'll start with one that doesn't seem directly related but correlates so closely that I can't help seeing the "tell" as a warning: putting "kappa" in a sentence like a punctuation mark. I've never seen an online conversation that started with that tell and didn't wander into final solutions and 14 words if it went on long enough. I know it's a :freeze-gamer: thing but it's not like there isn't already a wide overlap between :freeze-gamer: and :frothingfash: .

    Do you have any history youtube recs? I gave up on it a long time ago lol.

    Sometimes I consider putting my history degree to use and start a youtube channel but ehhhh I don't have the time/don't want to deal with certain aspects of the youtube community

      If you ever start a channel, I'd love to watch it! But I certainly understand deciding not to wade into the weird world of being a youtuber. As for recommendations:
      *fashion history and actually constructing garments (as you can probably tell, this is a particular interest of mine): Abby Cox, Bernadette Banner, Elin Abrahamsson, Nicole Rudolph, Morgan Downer, Karolina Zebrowska
      *bad history debunking, also random topics in history: miniminuteman
      *often a focus on LGBTQ history, but not always: Kaz Rowe
      *experimental archaeology, kind of I guess? Specifically in Scotland: Fandabi Dozi *Chinese history, also sometimes pop culture criticism: Xiran Jay Zhao

      I also use youtube to watch old episodes of Time Team, which I adore. Timeline World History Documentaries are a mixed bag. There are some that are interesting, and a lot I pass on.
