2024 was a banner year for women in the Olympic Games. This week, Sovereign and Ela explore the historic equal gender representation at the 2024 Summer Olympics and the fiery debates over women’s uniforms—from France’s hijab ban to barely-there track gear. We also spill the tea on the high-stakes drama in gymnastics centered on Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles, and cheer on the fierce women who dominated the global stage.

While Sovereign Syre and Ela Darling spend the next few months writing episodes for the next season, they are starting a new format for our weekly episodes. Covering current events each week.

In our -inaugeral- episode, we talk about the campaign for the presidency from Kamala Harris's entrance into the race to the DNC this week. And we do it by looking at the various memes and soundbites that have taken over an election that is very much about vibes and viral content.

Hi guys. sovereign accidentally forgot to upload this episode.

This week, Sovereign syre and Ela Darling finish their two part episode about Juana Maria, the last Nicoleno. Today we focus on what happened to her story long after her death when it was reimagined as the popular children's novel Island of the Blue Dolphins.

Since its publication, Island of the Blue Dolphins, a fictionalized telling of the story of a Nicoleno woman abandoned on San Nicolas Island for twenty years, often credited as the last of her tribe, the book has been a staple in American curriculum. The very sanitized story told in the book, featuring a twelve year old girl who learns to survive on her own by finding harmony with the land and animals that surround her, manages to tell the story of the Lone Woman, without telling us anything about her at all. In effect the book serves as colonialist propaganda. And today, we’re going to correct the record.
