Oh man, this post added so many channels to my subscription list!

Other ones I follow that seem as if they might be of interest to [personal profile] yhlee (this basically means I'm weeding out the sewing ones, though I can put them back on if anyone wants):

NativLang: linguist talks about languages, historical and living! Often about obscure ones, or linguistic family trees, or phonetic reconstructions of dead languages, or "here's an unusual thing that only a few languages do."

Moth Light Media: a recent follow, all about extinct animals, or the ancestors and taxonomic cousins of living ones.

Extra Credits: they have various subdivisions -- Extra History, Extra Mythology, Extra Gaming -- that all seem to be under the same account. Extra History is the one I'm by far the most interested in, and the only one I try to keep up with. It uses little cartoon-animated videos to talk about historical people or events; the cartoons are fun, and they do a pretty good job of covering lots of eras and places. Plus at the end of each little mini-series about a topic (anywhere from 1 to 5 or 6 videos, and each video is usually about 10 minutes), they do a "lies" video, where one of the writers talk about stuff they got wrong, oversimplified, or cut for space.
