It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

Legitimately the most exciting new thing that's happening.
The first person we meet on Past Lives is Nanaya'ila'i, an Elamite woman from southwestern Iran who was enslaved around 645 BC by the Assyrians in one of their last campaigns of conquest. What can we know about her life? How did she experience the sharp end of empire? www.patreon.com/posts/nanaya...

Season 1 is about the lives of enslaved people from Assyria to the 20th century: war captives from Elam, Thracian mine overseers, Mamluk sultans, and the last survivor of the Atlantic slave trade. Season 2 is people we know from their mummies, bones, or DNA, and how we can reconstruct their lives.
