Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode!Why did China practice foot binding, how did it start, and how did it finally end? This curriculum review unwraps the history of Chinese footbinding: the golden lotus, the tiny lotus shoes, the families who saw it as the only way up, and the women who fought back.CONTENT WARNING: this episode discusses footbinding, including pain, injury and disability, and shows historical photographs and X-rays of bound feet. Watch (or just listen) at your own pace.I spent this research cycle buried in X-rays, first-person accounts and Feng Jicai's novel The Three-Inch Golden Lotus. We cover where footbinding came from (it started with grown women dancers, not little girls), how it became a ladder for poor families to marry up, why a grandmother in The Three-Inch Golden Lotus broke my heart, the foot festivals that made the lotus shoes an obsession, the British missionaries of the Heavenly Foot Society, the Chinese reformers who wanted to educate their own women, and Qiu Jin, the feminist revolutionary who unbound her own feet and picked up a sword.

Have you ever watched a show and damn near started pulling your hair out when the character just don't open their flipping mouths and TALK to each other? Yeah, me too! Unfortunately these same issues often play out in our own lives in equally infuriating ways.
After a year of being a very serious gym goer it started to dawn on me that I could have had this my whole life. Growing up in the 90s and early 2000s the focus was on being as skinny as possible, crash dieting, and ripping women apart in the media for being size 6 "whales". PE class was just another class to get through complete with a yearly humiliation ritual. It could have been a chance to learn more about my body and what I was capable of rather than just slogging through. I wanted a more comprehensive experience and didn't receive one nor did I get the ground work to even know where to look for what I was lacking.
Education isn't just about degrees—it's about honoring those who came before us. In this video, I reflect on the journey from novice to master, the power of generational progress, and the wisdom passed down from grandmothers who knew education was the key to freedom.From women fighting for financial independence to the relentless desire to learn, this is a celebration of curiosity, perseverance, and the people who made our success possible. If you've ever felt the pull to learn something new, this one's for you
Here's to one year of Saffron Honey Chai! I've learned so much since the beginning of all this and built such an amazing community of the curious and excellent. Thank you so much for all the support the love and the laughs.
Libraries aren't just quiet rooms with books. They're opulent, tax-funded goldmines packed with rare collections, audiobooks, genealogy databases, and professional "weaponized nerds" (librarians) who hold master's degrees and will hunt down anything you need.In this video, I'm breaking down everything your local library offers and why you should be using it like the luxury resource it is. From requesting rare books through interlibrary loan to simply walking through the doors (foot traffic = funding!), supporting libraries is one of the easiest ways to invest in your community and yourself.Plus, I share my surprising connection to Frederick Douglass, dive into the real costs of running a library, and remind you that as a taxpayer, you have every right to ask for what you want.
Naruto gets a terrible rep for being a bad dad in Boruto but that’s not a fair title to give him when you consider all the factors. Let’s consider the fact that he was: -an orphan -hated by the whole village (for saving their ungrateful butts -neglected -food insecure as he grew up -completely divorced from the concept of a healthy home life Now these are not excuses for his lack in terms of hands on parenting but rather to show why such a thing would not be of great concern to him.
