Heretic History PodcastEpisode 53: Pocahontas (Matoaka is Missing)This month's episode is a release from my Patreon vault! Pocahontas is a name many recognize, but her story has been mostly shaped by legend. Some portray her as the romantic heroine, others as a stolen victim. However, modern historians and anthropologists are beginning to paint a more complex and nuanced image than she has been previously afforded. She lived a life that defies simple labels. In her short time, she moved between roles — royalty, captive, ambassador, and explorer; daughter, wife, and mother — navigating a world on the brink of profound change. She also went by m...

His campaign, once viewed to be nearly hopeless, has been revived and supporters are flocking to join his army or, at the very least, catch a glimpse of his triumphant procession. However, it is not only him that they have come to see. Across the French countryside, word has spread of the extraordinary girl who travels with the prince; a sixteen-year-old peasant, dressed...

As he contemplates the grim possibility of fleeing into exile, he has turned to prayer, seeking divine intervention. Into this moment of crisis steps an unexpected figure: a young peasant girl from the remote village of Domrémy.

Genre blending and gender bending, they introduced a new kind of style and performance that would inspire American culture for decades to come. Their contributions have long been overlooked and many would received little in the way of compensation or recognition during their lifetimes. One of these trendsetters was a woman named Willie Mae Thornton. Born to a church going family in Alabama, s...

A millennia before, this quiet spot had been a bustling port of international trade and one of the last bastions of Norse paganism in Viking culture. As they worked, the researchers soon uncovered a massive tomb, filled with weaponry. It was the final resting place of a great warrior and military leader, whose bones (greatly degraded) were discovered in the center of the tomb. In an age before DNA testing, the quickest way to determine the gender of a Viking grave was by ob...

Their real-life traumas, dramas, and intrigues still inspire plot lines in popular media today. One of the often overlooked members of this family is Mary Tudor, the youngest daughter of Henry VII. Although her story has been the inspiration for many a romance novel (she famously married for love rather than power) these fanciful tales fail to capture the character of the real woman. Mary Tudor was more than a swooning damsel. She was self-assured, determined, and fiercely loyal to those she loved. She may have...

Already familiar with the prejudices and limitations placed on black entertainers, McDaniel was well-equipped to navigate the expectations of white Hollywood, and quickly found herself booking featured parts.

Spending much of their youth sequestered away at the family palace or aboard the imperial yacht, their world was simple, idyllic and profoundly isolated. To the press and the public, they were nothing more than four pretty faces. And in the century since that view has continued, their own personalities and experiences forgotten in the infamous story of their family's downfall. The reality is that these four sisters each had their own h...

Quiver: New Weapons for ThoughtReading Group 2 - The SubjectOn February 15th, Quiver convened its second reading group over Zoom. During that session, we explored the concept of “subjects.”
We started with the infamous short excerpt on voluntary servitude and Reichian group fantasy from Anti-Oedipus. Then, we moved to the distinction between post-Althusserian social subjection and Mumford's machinic enslavement.
Our conversation worked through political concepts of the subject, state, and capitalism. But we also wondered, how must we rethink D&G to confront the intolerable anti-blackness of this world.
This led to a truly rhizome of ideas, texts, references and resonances... here some...
