Hey, I've decided to make a channel in the vein of these channels. Where I try to talk about science and leftism through storytelling, and narrative structure.
My background is in biology and writing, I know more about those two than politics but it's impossible to talk about meaningful action about climate change without discussing politics and what got us into this situation in the first place.
That's what got me into leftist politics and why I frame most of my videos around those ideas.
I'm making videos because I feel like I have a voice that isn't often heard on YouTube. I'm queer, which gives me a unique perspective and for someone with a science degree I don't like numbers and literature that much.
I think that storytelling with a few numbers is much more my style than other leftist YouTubers who can be wonks over numbers.
I'm currently working on videos about bias in science both historically and in the modern day as one of my pet peeves is seeing science as just a vessel of logic removed from societies biases.
I've made a video on why flat earthers aren't dumb, how narrative matters more than facts and logic:

When phrenology was used to argue to free slaves, and society biasing science:

I'm planning a follow up to that where I discuss current day issues around trans people's basic human rights, becoming a fun topic of debate. (This is taking a while because I keep writing paragraphs where I get too mad at Ben Shapiro.)
I've also got a series called process, where I discuss mental health in a relaxed honest way:
