I love when my favorite authors converse! Here's @claireridgway.bsky.social and @tudorblogger.bsky.social on portrayals of #AnneBoleyn: www.youtube.com/watch?v=fd0_... #TudorQueen #Tudors #newrelease #history

Still catching up on videos from @nathenamin.bsky.social and @nicolatallis.bsky.social's virtual course, The #Tudors: The Creation of a Dynasty. This is such a lovely experience. Nathen and Nicola are expert and engaging #historians. I can't wait for their #WarsoftheRoses course! #history #England

I hear women and girls doing these two things regularly, and I want them to stop: 1. Bragging about how little food they've eaten 2 Describing what they hate about their bodies Stop rehearsing the war on your body. Decide to be your own best friend: love yourself. #selflove #acceptance #selfcare

I've thoroughly enjoyed @claireridgway.bsky.social's week-long virtual course, MARY & ANNE BOLEYN: TWO SISTERS, ONE KING. The lectures are detailed, modern, and engaging. And the live Zoom calls are dynamic and fun! claireridgway.com/events/ #Tudors #AnneBoleyn #MaryBoleyn #history

“When a woman chose her gown…she was making a statement about her place in the world.” - @serenadyer.bsky.social #18thcentury #gowns #fashion #clothing #history www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GlS...

Author and historian @claireridgway.bsky.social's video profile of #AnneBoleyn is clear, concise, detailed, and nuanced. A lovely introduction to this vibrant #Tudor queen and Renaissance woman. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfLT... #history #TudorQueens #queens #Tudors

Just pre-ordered @tudorblogger.bsky.social's The Many Faces of #AnneBoleyn! Can't waiit for its release on Sep 30!!! www.amazon.com/Many-Faces-A... #Tudors #TudorQueens #history

Love this video about 17th-century clothing from @serenadyer.bsky.social: www.youtube.com/shorts/uG3uL... #fashion #history #clothing #17thcentury #women

This is an insightful commentary on organizing a poetry collection. #Poetry #Manuscript #Publication. open.substack.com/pub/poettopo...

@devoney.bsky.social, I’m taking a break from Tudor England to read #WildforAusten!!!

There is a lot to be said for starting the day with classical music. My favorite is #Baroque chamber music!

@wordgathering.bsky.social also features my poem “Backyard by Ear.” #Poetry #Birds #Poem wordgathering.com/vol19/issue1...

Excited to have my essay “Too Close to Text: How Writing Revives a Blind Poet” published in the latest issue of @wordgathering.bsky.social wordgathering.com/vol19/issue1...

My poem "Cello" has gone farther into the world than any other, and I wanted to share its journey: emilykmichael.com/2025/08/30/c... @finishinglinepress.bsky.social @wordgathering.bsky.social #poetry #poems #poetchry

Today two of my #poems went into the world in a new way! "Cello" and "Backyard by Ear" were unveiled as part of #Poetchry, an accessible #poetry exhibit in Cobourg's Ecology Garden, Ontario. The work of disabled poets was carved into picnic tables by a master woodworker.

To everyone on #Substack who makes their audio posts free for all, you are my heroes. Having that #audio option makes it so much easier for me to read your work as a #blind woman. #ADA #accessibility #universaldesign

@johnleeclark.bsky.social's "A DeafBlind Poet" is one of my favorite poems. It is shocking, sweet, wise, and revolutionary. www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazi... #poets #poetry #crippeotry #literature #deafblind

Where my #Tudor #music nerds at? I love this conversation with @booksmusictravel.bsky.social: #lute #renaissance #classical #Tudorcon www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWO1...

Tomorrow starts THE TUDORS: THE CREATION OF A DYNASTY with @nathenamin.bsky.social and @nicolatallis.bsky.social! I am so excited for this virtual course! www.eventbrite.com.au/e/the-tudors... #history #courses #Tudors

@dialectcoacherik.bsky.social contemplates the question, "Does a language need to have standards?" Yes, a language has standards, but they are derived from community usage, not top-down regulation. Descriptive grammar for the win! #linguistics #language #dialects www.youtube.com/shorts/ZjFIV...

Amazing analysis of #HenryVIII & his queens on film from @drjoannepaul.bsky.social & History Hit: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ig5d... #Tudors #history #movies

Dialect coach #ErikSinger takes apart the myth of "correct pronunciation" in this lovely video. As he says, correct pronunciation is really about social prestige. #linguistics #language #English www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ylp...

Absolutely loving @drowenemmerson.bsky.social's virtual course on #HansHolbein! Each lecture is precise, detailed, and insightful. And Owen included 2 bonus courses — on #Tudor queens in #art and the history of Hever Castle! #Tudors #painter #Renaissance

Today was my first day #teaching without York, my #guidedog, in 11 years. Thank you to everyone who remembered this and texted me. Your words were warm, kind, and encouraging.

Just registered for @emilydickinson.bsky.social's 2025 TELL IT SLANT POETRY FESTIVAL! So grateful for free #teacher tickets and online sessions! #poetry #events #festival #EmilyDickinson

What a fabulous discussion of Emma for #janeaustenjuly! www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVk_...

I love Dr. Tracey Marks’ videos. They are gentle, practical, and research-based. In this one, she talks about 5 ways to maximize brain chemistry in the morning. youtube.com/watch?v=T5pDML…#focusu#clarityt#mentalhealtht#intentiono#pscyologyg#valuese#hydrationo#moodo#memoryr#brainfogog

After 11 years of beautiful work, it is time for my guide dog, York, to retire. emilykmichael.com/2025/07/29/r...

New Episode! What if the Anne Boleyn you think you know… never really existed? In this episode Rebecca sits down with special guest @tudorblogger to explore the many faces of Anne Boleyn. Video podcast available on #Spotify and #youtube 📺- youtu.be/xHJoWJMBrF8

My latest book review: Alison Weir's The Cardinal! Shout-out to Tudors Dynasty for their wonderful interview. emilykmichael.com/2025/07/24/t...

I've recently rediscovered my love of medieval and renaissance history. Here's what I'vev read. docs.google.com/document/d/e...

From @greshamcollege.bsky.social: A completely fascinating conversation about music's power in Ancient Greek politics and culture www.youtube.com/watch?v=5j6m...

@tracyborman.bsky.social Loving this talk on Anne Boleyn and Elizabeth I from @tracyborman.bsky.social. youtu.be/7-l5iv6fYok

In this article, a historian uses handwriting analysis and reading science to answer the famous Anne Boleyn birth debate. open.substack.com/pub/notesofa...

Thank you, Lucy Edwards, for speaking to this issue. I've been told, "You don't look blind" — usually as a compliment. As Lucy says, it's because people don't know what blind looks like. Blindness is a spectrum. Let's toss out the stereotypes and represent blind people with realism and dignity.

Nothing about a person’s weight loss entitles them to be mean to others. You can lose all the weight you want, but if you are still unpleasant, you will be thin and friendless. Be kind at any size. #BodyPositive #Health #Wellness.

Happy #janeaustenjuly! Here's my piece on how I came to love #JaneAusten and what her works have meant to me. emilykmichael.com/2014/12/21/l...

11 years ago today, I was matched with my first guide dog – a faithful friend and incredible gift!

Just finished reading Elizabeth Norton‘s The Hidden Lives of Tudor Women. It’s an outstanding work of non-fiction that maps the lifespan of Tudor women from all social classes.

In this latest instalment of Talking Tudors, @drowenemmerson.bsky.social & I take a deep dive into Anne Boleyn & Henry VIII’s relationship and consider, among other things, whether this was the passionate love affair so often depicted. Our conclusions may surprise you! talkingtudors.podbean.com
