  Swoon - Fangirls Their Idols and...

  Swoon is a prehistory of the fangirl. From the Byromaniacs of Regency London to the screamers of Beatlemania, it revisits six defining moments in book, film and music history through the eyes of the girls and women who gave birth to pop culture as we know it today.
  Far from passive consumers, these women were tastemakers, visionaries and cultural disruptors. Their obsessions shaped literary canons, built Hollywood icons and turned musicians into messiahs – long before social media came along. But with power came panic, especially when female fans and male stars were involved. Fandom became a moral and cultural battleground. What was at stake was women's right to want things they weren't supposed to want, feel things they weren't supposed to feel and express all these things loudly, shamelessly and in public.

  Tsar Nicholas II - Biography of...

  Nicholas II, or Nikolai II Alexandrovich Romanov (18 May [O.S. 6 May] 1868 – 17 July 1918), was the last Emperor of Russia, reigning from 1 November 1894 to 15 March 1917. Revered as Saint Nicholas the Passion-Bearer in the Russian Orthodox Church, he also held the titles of King of Congress Poland and Grand Duke of Finland. His reign marked the end of the Romanov dynasty's 304-year rule over Russia. Though Nicholas supported economic and political reforms proposed by his prime ministers, Sergei Witte and Pyotr Stolypin, his adherence to authoritarianism and reluctance to empower the Duma stymied significant progress. His reign was further undermined by aristocratic resistance and military defeats during the Russo-Japanese War and World War I, which eroded public confidence in his leadership. 
  Internationally, Nicholas sought to bolster Russia's position through alliances and diplomatic agreements. He signed the Anglo-Russian Convention of 1907, aiming to counter German influence in the Middle East and end the longstanding Great Game rivalry with Britain. Earlier, he had initiated the Hague Convention of 1899, a pioneering but ultimately unsuccessful effort to promote disarmament and peaceful conflict resolution. These measures were part of his broader vision to solidify the Franco-Russian Alliance and strengthen Russia's global standing. 
  Domestically, however, Nicholas' reign was plagued by crises and controversies. He faced widespread criticism for his government's repressive policies, particularly during moments of significant unrest. The Khodynka Tragedy, a catastrophic stampede at his coronation celebrations, set a grim tone for his rule. His apparent complicity in anti-Jewish pogroms, the violent crackdown on Bloody Sunday in 1905, and the brutal suppression of the Russian Revolution that same year further tarnished his reputation.

  No one is immune to the byproducts of compulsory schooling and standardized testing. And while reform may be a worthy cause for some, it is not enough for countless others still trying to navigate the tyranny of what schooling has always been. Raising Free People argues that we need to build and work within systems designed for any human to learn, grow, socialize, and thrive, regardless of age, ability, background, or access to money. 
   
   
   
  Raising Free People explores examples of the transition from school or homeschooling to unschooling, how single parents and people facing financial challenges unschool successfully, and ways unschooling allows us to address generational trauma and unlearn the habits we mindlessly pass on to children. 
   
   
   
  In these detailed and unabashed stories and insights, Richards examines the ways that her relationships to blackness, decolonization, and healing work all combine to form relationships and enable community-healing strategies rooted in an unschooling practice. This is how millions of families center human connection, practice clear, and honest communication, and raise children who do not grow up to feel that they narrowly survived their childhoods.
