NEW VID! The new Wuthering Heights film by Emerald Fennell is certainly controversial. The discourse surrounding it, even worse. Let's chat about why this film isn't working for so many people, and how it could've been better. Come learn with me! link below

My pal Donna Anita Atelier who made these corset binders designed by Marlowe Lune has now opened the Casanova (the original, white one here) as an option for bespoke corsetry. Highly recommend. Her work is amazing! Can confirm a corset style binder is VERY comfortable.
NEW VID! King Louis XIV had a fistula that urgently needed surgery. Amazingly he survived, and the legend goes that the courtiers of Versailles then became obsessed with having a fistula and demanded the surgery for themselves. Is this really true? Come learn with me!

New vid! In 1901, a mysterious woman named Vesta La Viesta appeared in the press claiming that she had mystically traveled to other planets. What followed was almost 3 decades of scams, outlandish lectures and classes, and the looming question: Is she being serious? Link below

NEW VID! In the 17th century, England's Puritan-headed Parliament effectively cancelled Christmas, harassing and jailing anyone trying to make the season merry and bright. Riots ensued in places like London and Canterbury, and things got wild. Come learn with me! Link below

Guillermo Del Toro's Frankenstein film has been divisive. Would it help the discourse if we knew a bit more about Mary Shelley and the original book? Maybe! Come learn with me about toxic husbands, the horror of motherhood, and the queerness hidden in Frankenstein. Link below!

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!

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!

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!

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

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! π³οΈβπ
