I just realized how queer my favorites are. Mostly long form essayists, but entertainers. I’m too tired now to offer good descriptions, but they are worth it.

Jessica Kellgren-Fozard (https://www.youtube.com/@jessicaoutofthecloset) My number one feel good channel. LGBTQ+, vintage fashion, disabilities, media analysis, historical profiles, parenting tips. A lot.

Jessie Gender (https://www.youtube.com/c/lostrekkie) Nerd content, trans content, good content with kindness and nuance. Just don’t threaten her well being.

Rowan Ellis (https://www.youtube.com/@HeyRowanEllis) Media analysis focused on queer topics.

Shanspeare (https://www.youtube.com/@Shanspeare) Discussions around pop culture while being fabulous.

verilyremovedie (https://www.youtube.com/@verily*removed*ie) Smart, funny, varied topics.

Tara Mooknee (https://www.youtube.com/@TaraMooknee) The only youtube channel written and produced by a cow.

talistheintrovert (https://www.youtube.com/@talistheintrovert) “If you like listening to people complain about things, then boy am I the channel for you!”

Princess Weekes (https://www.youtube.com/@Princess_Weekes) “Talking about pop culture, race, feminism, and other social issues with a lot of nuance and profanity.”

Khadija Mbowe (https://www.youtube.com/@KhadijaMbowe) “Cool, fun, Queer Aunty”- Their branding, “Big sister or friend their head.”- Their comment section, “A sentient garbage disposal.”- Their own words

Philosophy Tube (https://www.youtube.com/@PhilosophyTube) There’s a lot to learn, even if I personally ignore the specifics.

Maggie Mae Fish (https://www.youtube.com/@MaggieMaeFish) Perfect balance between funny and informative and unhinged. Movies from an interesting point of view.

Mia Mulder (https://www.youtube.com/@MiaMulder) Don’t care for philosophy? Some history for you.
