this is a short series of video essays about different art history topics. i'd watch these even if i wasn't into art history bc they're just genuinely interesting and funny. link is the most popular video of this series, "you are not immune to propaganda" which covers different art pieces made during/after war times

she has a very specific sense of humor that is just so endlessly funny and she is so candid and real w her audience that it really feels like she’s your best friend and her videos are just her facetiming you at 3am. along w her funny videos she also occasionally drops really informative, philosophical videos mostly about art history that i find super interesting.

One of the most entertaining and well put together YouTube videos I've watched, especially good if you're interested in fashion history, even if you're not I'd still recommend it as It's only 15 minutes!

📑The video essay space is so oversaturated and there are a lot of people that don’t really have opinions or evidence they just repeat stuff but here are some people that make insightful video essays in my opinion and some recs for videos to watch

no idea what sparked this but i just had a random meltdown over baseball. the next note after this one was also abt baseball so i think i was just going thru something

one of the best concept albums of all time. follows a young woman named Ethel Cain (the character, not the artist) as she encounters various men and eventually meets her violent death at the hands of one of the men. truly visceral and even disturbing at some parts but so so good, really recommend giving it a listen
