Anna Komnene: Dead Byzantine Lady Historian
@thealexiad.bsky.social
I am Anna Komnene. I'm the first known Female Historian. If we want to be historically correct, I'm super dead, but just for fun, I came back and am the author of "From the Ashes of St. Domingue" a historical fiction about the Black French Revolution
Friendly geographic reminder… Francis was also American.

This is the first North American pope but we best not forget the other 34 sovereign American countries that exist.

Just for fun: take one movie and change something major about it. IE: An animated Tim Burton movie designed for kids is suddenly live action… and now probably a real horror movie… or you change the profession of the lead character…. Or you switch an actor…. Or you swap someone’s accent…. Thoughts?

Did you know that America kind of had a female president already? During WWI, Edith Wilson covered up her husband’s stroke and ran the United States. The vice president did not take over.

Advice for White People in America. It is vital to note that, right now, People of Color in America feel attacked, scared, and traumas are being triggered.
I have done a lot of listening, and these are my humble thoughts for White people who want to help.

I am wondering when the last time was that members of government have looked at the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It might be a really helpful way to ground ourselves globally. Just saying

On this day in history (1922), Gandhi was sentenced to 6 years in prison for protesting a corrupt government. When we look back now, do we agree Gandhi was in the wrong? Or do we need to critically analyze our determination of what constitutes criminality? #historymatters

They called Joan of Arc a heretic, Harriet Tubman a fugitive, and Marie Curie 'just a wife.' History proves time and time again—unstoppable women rewrite the story. #WomenWhoChangeTheWorld

From Cleopatra to Nzinga, from the Trung Sisters to Sojourner Truth - history whispers a secret: underestimating women has never ended well.

Adah Isaacs Menken, a Jewish, biracial woman rode across the stage (seemingly) completely naked during the US Civil War. Audiences were fascinated. She had multiple marriages (some simultaneously) and a very public affair with Alexandre Dumas (Three Muskateers) - learn more in my book - link below

Today on #IWD it is a wonderful time to write to male presidential hopefuls asking them to come out in support of the 2028 Gentleman’s Agreement, a bipartisan call to ask men to forego running for one cycle in order to usher in America’s first female president!

Did you know the Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas is actually a coded Revenge story against Napoleon? Stay Tuned!

Went grocery shopping at Sam’s Club today. There were almost no fruits at all. It was insane. Was this just a fluke or did other people experience this? Even dead princesses need strawberries….

How much do you know about history? Honestly?
Because it is important to realize that when we intentionally and systematically learn fake history, we cannot possibly learn from our mistakes. THAT is why history repeats itself.

As a female historian, this feels like an appropriate cause to support. Posting both videos.

Thrilled to be on BlueSky! I am Anna Komnene, the very dead author of The Alexiad (I'm legit a Byzantine princess... kind of)
But I have come back to write a new historical fiction about Thomas-Alexandre Dumas, the Black General of the French Revolution and the Haitian Revolution! Check link below!
