Surpised that Abigail Thorne (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abigail_Thorn) and her channel Philosophy Tube (https://www.youtube.com/@PhilosophyTube) don't appear more often in discussionson the Forum.
Rolemodel: in 2013, at age 20, Abigail starts an educational youtube channel for philosophy in response to raise in tution fees. Since around 2018 the videos get more an more artistic, focus on gender or transgender / feminist analysis of political / societal issues. In 2021 she came out herself in a video as transgender and gets into a dialogue with former self.
Recent news was that British cultural heritage commission (don't nail me down on the correct name) has invited here to nominate some of her videos for teh colelction of British digital heritage.
For me her videos were (and are) highly influential in developing my path, I adore her attitude and the depth of the videos.
