If you're a fantasy lover like me, the mere mention of druids might conjure up images of wise, bearded wizards, powerful witches, and nature-bound warriors straight out of "Lord of the Rings" or "Game of Thrones." But who were the real druids, and how much of what we "know" is merely Roman propaganda or modern fantasy? Buckle up my delicious little doughnut, as we embark on a journey to unravel the truth behind these mysterious figures of ancient Europe.

Step right up, history BFFs! Today, we're diving headfirst into the ancient Mesopotamian saga of Enheduanna, a woman who defied the odds, battled patriarchal nonsense, and penned the very first poem in recorded history. But hold onto your clay tablets, because this story's got more twists and turns than a Sumerian soap opera!

Picture it: ancient Mesopotamia, where clay tablets were all the rage, and 'emojis' meant chiseling tiny pictures into your communication medium of choice. Enter Enheduanna, daughter of the big boss man, Sargon of Akkad Emperor of the first Empire. While others were busy tallying sheep and wheat stocks, Enheduanna had bigger plans – like, let's revolutionize literature, shall we?

But before I spoil the whole thing press play why don't ya?

You are not gonna guess how long the "disease" hysteria has been plaguing humanity! 😱

In this week's episode, we take a deep dive into the history of hysteria and take a look at how this sexist phenomenon still affects us 4,000 years after it first reared its ugly head. Spicy TK definitely makes an appearance in this episode, and we have garbage humans that follow us from ancient Egypt to Greece, to the modern day. If you've got a uterus, hold onto it for dear life, so that it doesn't wander around your body and cause you distress, and let's get into the history of hysteria.
