Fellow webcomic enjoyer/author Kaz is also an excellent history YouTuber, and it's about time this French nut got his.

Damn. I apologize to anybody who apparently has Nostradamusphobia and is too scared to click on the video, i did not prophecize this being a problem 💀

NEW VID! Nostradamus has always been known as an ancient prophet who apparently foretold events such as WW2, 9/11, and even COVID-19. But are his prophecies really what they seem? And who really was Nostradamus? Come learn with me! youtu.be/xWDumoLdPyU

I recommend reading @kazrowe.bsky.social’s graphic novel “Liberated”. An accessible retelling of Claude’s life, art and resistance.

NEW VID! The internet has been flooded with AI generated "history" videos with yassified portrayals of historical people and questionable-at-best information. What exactly are we up against, and how do these generative systems even work? Come learn with me! youtu.be/M65IYIWlqes

On another Kaz video binge! They’re great for Friday nights when I just want to relax and learn and take time to think about what the past says about the future. Thanks for learning with us all, Kaz!

@kazrowe.bsky.social video on the history of Nosferatu is just great (as all of their stuff is, tbh). If you like goth/spooky things (and why wouldn't you 😂), I absolutely recommend this one! 😁 youtu.be/TrC5lCETljw

Predicting [correctly so far] that the comments under this one are going to be more freakish than usual so I’m gonna refrain from going in there, if you have something to say you actually want me to see i’m more likely to see it here or on ig. Sorryyyyy

If you're not watching @kazrowe.bsky.social on YT then you are missing out! Hidden History (great for story ideas) and a sprinkling of spooky stuff like Dracula v's Nosferatu. Watch now, thank me later www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrC5... They also create stunning comics! #HorrorWritersChat

Vampire fans, Kaz has the historical tea on Nosferatu vs Dracula! 🩸☕️ #HorrorSky

This video is exceptional. Honestly, the best rundown on the topic I've seen anyone do so far. Kaz is amazing

kaz has done it again. awesome history here.

NEW VID! Everyone is talking about Nosferatu, but did you know this movie was almost never made? Back in the 1920s, the widow of Bram Stoker, author of Dracula, sued the og Nosferatu for copyright infringement and ordered all copies be burned. So how did it survive?

Those Feratu video coming soon….

Doesn’t matter if you think your family is “boring” or not, if you can sit down with older family members while they’re still around and have their memories and record an oral history on audio. I was the only one who thought to do it with my grandpa and a year later the dementia started kicking in.

Just found out im related to this diva lmaooo. Every time i poke around my family history i uncover some random wacky thing. Artist family things

Oz was always queer and Wicked (the book) just oozed gayness. Thank you @kazrowe.bsky.social for a fantastic video essay youtu.be/-3A3-IpfVEE?...

New vid! The 2024 Wicked film starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo has been a huge hit, especially due to the tangible romance between their characters Glinda and Elphaba. But did you know the queerness in Oz goes all the way back to L. Frank Baum's original books? youtu.be/-3A3-IpfVEE

I'm starting to get into the (Victorian) holiday spirit, you guys.

How about some Mary Blair Christmas cards? Let's start with Five Santa Band - all cards from 1950s-60s. #wardsmorguefile

Well thanks for listening to me rambling. I think I’ve just been feeling frustrated with seeing so many folks act like YouTubers are just money hungry scammers who dont care about you. But god, aren’t we all hungry for money. And here we are quietly rejecting thousands of dollars.

While we’re looking behind the curtain i wanna address another sponsorship thing. I can’t speak for other YouTubers, but I only work with brands I believe in and I feel are a good fit for my audience. You have no idea how many offers I turn down even from brands that aren’t bad.

Sorry for the wait on the video, sponsor requested a few edits to the sponsor section. Here’s a peek behind the curtain at the Wizard: I can have a video done easy but the approval process is slowww. Because all communication moves through my agency lol.

New video soooon

The feeling I get when I read stories like this is the same feeling I got in my guts when I realized how deeply skewed (outright lies more than not) the history I was taught is, but way worse. This needs to be stopped immediately, it's literally training brains to be epistemologically solipsistic 🚨

Morning coffee listen ☕️ very engaging and a perfect amount of detail 🫶 🎬 "The Misunderstood History of Alchemy" by @kazrowe.bsky.social youtu.be/yDVF_GTMCoY?...
