Fuck Yeah, History Major Heraldic Beast

Those who forget the past are doomed to fail the midterm.

The History Major Heraldic Beast will post anything pertaining to any field of history. The beast is aware that right now this blog is mostly western European/American history, but those have been the submissions popping up in the inbox. Don't be afraid to submit your wry observations about the Mali empire, or the Ming dynasty, or Clovis culture, or the effects of Soviet collectivization on the indigenous people of northeastern Siberia. They will be posted.

If it's tagged "submission", I neither made it nor wrote the commentary beneath it, unless the words "The Beast Says" are involved.

The History Major Heraldic Beast will not post submissions containing racial or ethnic slurs. Seriously, people, what the fuck. You know who you are. Stop sending them in.

Notable Quotes: “He wants to be the bride at every wedding, the corpse at every funeral, and the baby at every christening” (regarding her Father) “Senator McCarthy, you are not going to call me Alice. The trashman and the policeman on my block call me Alice, but you may not.” ‘ [I’m] the only “topless octogenarian” in Washington.’ (regarding her double mastectomy for breast cancer”
