New vid! Health and etiquette manuals were VERY popular in the 19th century. Some of them were absolutely bonkers and even offensive, while others were surprisingly progressive. Come learn with me and let's rank some bad (or good?) historical health advice! youtu.be/yDhDLydtO_c

NEW VID! Happy Halloween! The Middle Ages is often thought of as the era of cruel and unusual punishment with overly creative torture devices like iron maidens and spiked wheels. But many of these artifacts aren't what you think, or are even real at all. Link below! youtu.be/0HhryWsl3MI

NEW VID! Is it true that Whitewater, Wisconsin is- or was- crawling with witches who spent the 19th century performing sacrifices? And is there really a werewolf stalking the residents near Bray Road? Come learn with me about some spooky tales. Link below! youtu.be/_6sBpFp1xcI

NEW VID! One October night in 1974, a rogue kangaroo beat the crap out of two Chicago cops and then disappeared. Where did this phantom kangaroo come from, and was it even real in the first place? Come learn with me! Link below youtu.be/vDuPAIEJH7s

NEW VID! We haven't had a fun hoax in a while, have we? Hoaxes in the 19th Century were wild, in part because of the rise of new mass media and new scientific discoveries. Come learn with me about moon beavers, bat men, flying balloons, escaped zoo animals and more! youtu.be/GsJwg4pbe0I

Been meaning to address this for a while: I do not have a personal email you can send emails to. The email listed in my bios goes to my agency. It is strictly for business inquiries only. Do not send non-business messages to that email. It makes it harder for my agents to do their jobs. Thank you.

Admittedly, I was unprepared for just how gay knights (& saints) were. This is such a great video to watch!!

NEW VID! It's no question that everyone loves Medieval knights, and they've come to be extra popular in the gay community. But how gay were real knights, actually? Turns out, more than we think. Come learn with me! Link below youtu.be/PYqT6sKZJjY

Forgot to post on here sooner but guess whaaat i got engayged

Wholeheartedly recommend watching this video! It's such an informative video on the history of Ren Faires and now I have new books for my non-fiction reading list.

"Ren faires are just inherently queer." Ain't that the truth! 🏳️‍🌈

NEW VID! It's Ren Faire season once again! Walking through your local faire, have you ever wondered how it all began? Come learn with me about a community of artists fighting McCarthyism, a passionate schoolteacher, and how the ren faire impacts how we view history! Link below youtu.be/d4CHa_A5498

NEW VID! Come with me on a silly goofy journey through a Medieval Beastiary, where we will rank these strange illustrations of animals based on how correctly they portray the real creatures they're based on! Link below youtu.be/mfW4_mnW4L4

Thanks for the giggles @kazrowe.bsky.social you're my hero today.

@kazrowe.bsky.social made a wonderful video about this. You should watch it, it's delightful!

NEW VID! Early train travel was NOT for the faint of heart. Come learn with me about what Victorian rail travel was like, what dangers you could face, and explore my experience riding Amtrak across the country... TWICE... to see how things are different today! link below youtu.be/gcmrqIdJw3o

OLD VID! Almost two years ago, I made a dumb video trying to find the historical link between Barbie and Oppenheimer. Y'know, because the Barbenheimer meme was relevant. Well, here it is now that the meme is dead, in which I slowly lose my mind over 22 minutes. Enjoy? youtu.be/oytuqIue9QM

Really great content and queer history from @kazrowe.bsky.social! Always loved Wilde's work and his tragic story is important to learn. youtu.be/01wxc5hKS5g?...

It was really lovely to escape into the Jane Austen-tinged queer romance of I Shall Never Fall in Love by Hari Conner for a few hours! Sumptuous illustrations, dreamy storytelling, and genuinely well-researched history (with special guest star @kazrowe.bsky.social )

The wisdom of @kazrowe.bsky.social is far reaching here. (but seriously their Oscar Wilde episode is awesome)

NEW VID! Oscar Wilde is one of history's most notorious gay men. So how did a libel trial that HE started result in him being sent to prison for being gay, and what was the deal with his beautiful but manipulative boyfriend, Lord Alfred Douglas? Come learn with me! youtu.be/01wxc5hKS5g

Love and support for the trans community in the UK today, the supreme court decision is a pitiful regressive step for the country, which will ultimately embolden bigots - transphobia is a curse on our society and the UK's weird obsession with it is driving us all into the dirt.

It’s worth noting that JK Rowling is not only funding meritless legal challenges against trans people until they can appeal up to the court that will back them, she openly gloats about how this is where her money is going. This is what the Harry Potter TV show is bankrolling.

JKR funded the campaign group behind all this btw. This is why we beg you to stop engaging with Harry Potter media.

a world without trans people has never existed and never will

ICYMI!

I know its been a while, had stuff going on that slowed this video down but it’ll go live tomorrow! Time to learn about the oscar wilde trials 🫡🫡

Also, we've just removed the paywall for this.

Oscar Wilde Haters and Oscar Wilde Lovers hold onto your seats for the next video 💃🏻

Absolutely LOVE Kaz's videos (especially when it involves queerness history) I always learn something new 💜

It's J.C. Leyendecker's birthday, so it would be an excellent time to watch this amazing video @kazrowe.bsky.social made a few years ago.

Finally some good fucking food

NEW VID! As Australia's penal colony grew in the early 1800s, places called female factories were set up to punish and "fix" convict women. Instead, many of these prisoners established cross-dressing lesbian "mobs" that practically ran the prisons. What was going on? youtu.be/szH9lVuxwqs

An early birthday gift for me! Thank you everyone. Mwah mwah 🫶🏻

100% of the time if you think I’m secretly referencing some video game in my videos the answer is no 😭 so many of my comments are like “omg just like [game]” or “you’re dressed like [game character]” and im like who the hell are you talking about lol

NEW VID! Welcome back to Wild Crimes in Medieval Times. Today we'll discuss getting punished for being a scold, a bar fight involving a dead cat, and a gangster monk. Come learn with me! Link below youtu.be/QPoXs3x7TT0

Thanks for reading!!

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!
