Just wanted to add her dad was Cherokee and she was the first Native American to fly a plane as well
Oh wow!!
dang this makes it so much sadder that she wasn’t recognized for a while
Cool!! Extra comment history!
Oh my god that’s fuckin sick!
@Jacob Rousseau, yeah I was about to say, I researched her for my godkids (looking up other Anitsalagi and their accomplishments really kindles some tribal pride).
Garrett and Joyce as the Professor’s parents is absolutely perfect.
I just know they had delicious amounts of fun 😂
I have found life here
I was trying to make the like a heart like you do on Facebook, I like this so much.
OMG i just realized it was Garrett that’s so fun
BRO I DIDN'T EVEN REALIZEEE
"If every time I lost I had a band celebrate, my life would be a musical." - Ryan Bergara
Honestly a beautiful quote.
I’m going to use that from now on.
Love it.
When did he say this?
@@J-Rod91 34:03
@@aleks-33 THANK YOU!
Did anyone's heart sink a little when the professor saw Ryan in the stars, and call him his friend? These lessons aren't quite the same without the REAL professor 😭
Not to mention that ominous ball of light gave me a chill 😳🌍☄️
Well if Ryan hadn't killed him he would be here.
I cried a little when he said Ryan was his friend and genuinely seemed to miss him 😭
@@erika8349 6.30am e6
i love that there hasn’t been a single episode where the guests don’t bring up how weird and ominous the box is
Chekhov's box. Going to be a thing maybe in the finale.
It’s foreshadowing. I must know what’s inside…I bet it’s jelly beans
Or maybe it’s the Genie’s lamp?
I'm guessing it's a hologram machine and the professor is not really the real professor...he's an illusion.
@@applegal3058 and the hologram is using the puppet cream to try and posses Ryan’s body.
Ryan responding "drugs" to the professor asking what he was pouring in his cup was pretty iconic
And so straight faced.
"just some drugs" almost making it sound as mundane as possible is so funny to me
And everyone just glossing over it and moving on 😂
That killed me (just passed that part).
That's literally my response when people ask me what I'm eating out drinking
me: on the verge of tears because of how touched i am by bessie's story
popping up on my screen: the most ominiously bone-chilling cloud i have ever seen in my life
LMFAOOOOOOOO
OH BRO ME TOO!! I was on the verge of tears
No same!! I fully cried and then laughed my ass off at the song and scatting
This is such a beautiful and inspiring story, but there's another part of Bessie Coleman's legacy that's sure to tug on the heart stings. Even after death, Bessie continued to inspire countless Black women to take to the skies, and eventually, the stars. When Dr. Mae Jemison became the first African American woman in space in 1992, she carried a picture of Bessie Coleman with her, taking the woman who inspired her even further than she had ever gone before
NO STOP THIS BROKE ME 😭😭
The bond between the professor and the dinos in the after-credits scene is so sweet. I want a whole movie with them now.
Honestly, I'd watch it.
Same
Yeah, I'm basically watching Puppet History to find out what's happening with the newly hatched professor & his dino parents.
Am loving Joyce as the mom dino
well, sadly it wouldn't last. Cus of the whole Dis-aster (terrible star) thing.
The Professor showing sentimentality towards Ryan.....
WE LOVE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT OUT HERE.
That we do mate, Ryan made a terrible mistake in season 4, but it also seems that the Professor is finally realising that he wasn’t entirely guilt free in causing it, I’m really looking forward to when we can get the real Professor and Ryan back together again.
@@t-rexcellentreviews1663 I agree. Ryan seems to regret it if he's looking at bids on certain magical lamps. Wonder what the lotion is for.
Nothing good though.
@@TheRibottoStudios my guess at this point is that the Genie’s lamp is inside the box and the puppet cream is going to turn Ryan into a puppet so the Hologram can take his body over.
I’m sorry why? Does the PROFESSOR 👨🏫 need to change?? Ryan was the one who murdered 🔪 him!! Victim blaming much 🤔??
@@babyvia6712 I’m not victim blaming here, but the Professor was knowingly rigging his show against Ryan and delighting in doing so, also as stated before, Ryan never intended for the Professor or anyone else to get hurt, the Genie tricked him and broke their deal, this isn’t a case where one party is guilty and other is completely innocent, both Ryan and the Professor let their formerly friendly feuding go to far and it had unfortunate consequences, the fact that both of them now seem to realise it shows us that sometimes, history doesn’t have to repeat itself.
Only Shane could say "Hey, let's do a puppet show!" and have it be thoroughly awesome amidst the age of technology. Puppet History is the GOAT.
What are you talking about? Shane has never been in an episode of Puppet History before.
@@hannatude That doesn't mean he can't be the creator/inspirator/power behind the scenes of the show....
@@anttibjorklund1869 …woosh.
@@hannatude Oh I got it, I've seen similar comments "it's not Shane, it's the Professor" before, but all I'm saying is that just because someone hasn't appeared on the show doesn't mean they can't work behind the scenes.
shane going from doing silly voices and having silly hot dog animations at the bottom of the screen every unsolved postmortem with ryan refusing to participate to producing this complex puppet lore with high production scenes, full freedom and ryan being a major part of it on his very own show
not saying the hot daga was silly; it was peak cinema
I have no idea what Shane has to do with puppet history he’s never been in an episode
@@kimlarsen6779 he might be the estranged producer
i think this is the first time a puppet history ep almost made me cry a little. bessie was such an amazing woman, cheated out of so much, even after her death. it's gratifying to hear a school was finally opened in her legacy!
I read this comment midway through the ep thinking I would not cry, and then the “like all pioneers she has built her own monument” quote came and I did
Yeah the thing that got me to tear up was William J. Powell opening a school named after her. Even if the privileged buried her story, she lived on as an important figure in her own community. What a woman ❤️
@@siiri8902 i honestly could not be anymore grateful to Shane and all the people behind this show helping further the legacy and remembrance of these heroes
@@siiri8902same! That part was so sweet I couldn’t hold my tears back anymore
The *ABSOLUTE DISRESPECT* from New York and Florida Times. This lady is badass for flying in those dangerous planes.
Considering that the Florida Times is located in good ole Jacksonville, I am not surprised. Things have changed but there's still some things that are the same down here.
I'm not a black person, but I'm Asian. Yet, as the Professor told the tales of how Bessie Coleman stood up for her beliefs of equality, I can't help but tear up. She's such a wonderful example of standing firm for your beliefs and rallying equality for her own people. What a wonderful, inspiring badass of a woman indeed.
yeap I teared up too. Such an inspirational Woman. Bessie Coleman REALLY truly lived, explored and raised everyone up. 🥰
Too bad nobody is like that today, many think of themselves that way but in reality just end up being racist themselves lmao.
This episode made me cry. Bessie sounds like an amazingly strong woman and it absolutely killed me that her accomplishments weren't recognised in her lifetime
That’s very true
Sadly, it's very common - why do you think so many men think they invented everything:(
The banter between the dinosaur parents is so funny - both wildly inappropriate and sweet at the same time! 😂🤣😂
I know, it really reminds my pal Rexy of his talks with his parents…
@@t-rexcellentreviews1663 😂
@@tinaperez7393 you had no idea how literal I was being, did you? I hope you enjoy my T-Rexcellent channel and all of Rexy’s Cretaceous Content.
@@t-rexcellentreviews1663 I hadn't looked at your channel but from your name I figured there was probably some pretty related stuff! 😂
@@tinaperez7393 you figured correctly my friend, though if you enjoy dinosaur related content, my channel is the channel for you.
Puppet history is teaching more than my actual history class did in high school
This and also the UK kids comedy show Horrible Histories.
You should of paid attention.
@@Scruffy-Janitorfr a lot of this stuff IS in history class.
@@Scruffy-Janitor you should have paid attention in English
@@Scruffy-Janitor I did amd this was never taught in my public school
Graham’s pure uncontainable joy at the cloud song was so contagious
Was looking for this comment. Loved how he was so into it. Made me happy somehow 😂
he's definitely my favorite guest (both in puppet history and ruining history), he's so sweet
"Whatcha got there?"
"Just some drugs."
"Ok" (continues on)
It's the one liners in this show that get me.
I went to the comments just to see if anyone thought this was as funny as I did lol
I must’ve missed it, what’s the time stamp?
@@katelynnitti3009 around 3:07!
The fact that this woman is from my hometown is such a flex! She's a goddess also the fact the professor says Waxahachie correctly is the best gift ever.
Do they have any memorials of her or is her story in the towns museum/library? She deserves it especially with the kinds of planes she was flying! Incredibly inspiring.
Exact same thought, was very excited but worried to hear the professor say waxahachie and then it was right every time :) Bessie Coleman is such an icon
@@phoenixgirl70 the local museum had a big exhibit about her the last time I went!!
Same here!! Love that he did our city's name proud!
I’m from Massachusetts so I totally get being excited when someone pronounces a town name correctly.
Kinda sad that Shane didn’t take the opportunity to say “Ryann, thanks for tryin” when having a guest this season named Ryann. Missed opportunity but an amazing episode!
Not really a missed opportunity if Shane wasn’t on the show.
Maybe because the sus "professor" doesn't have that "code phrase" in his vocabulary. Like I wanna believe that the sus "professor" is just a clone of the actual professor and that "Ryan thanks for tryin" was like OG Professor's.... spell?? To kind of protect ryan from the genie or something 🤣 idk I'm blurting out wild guesses.
@@ricebunny0234 I mean that’s a sweet sentiment, but considering The Professor said “Ryan, thanks for tryin” all last season and Ryan still made a deal with the Genie (I guess it was through the Devil but still) I doubt that’s anything. I think it was just The Professor teasing Ryan, maybe from his perspective in good fun. But Holo-fessor not having that as a code phrase makes sense considering he screwed up the “C-dogs” bit in the previous episode.
@@MrLegendofLP right? Like NOWWW I realize that's it's legit not the OG Professor we've been seeing because of these cues.. my mind is blown! 😱
Just a small appreciation of the fact that @22:33, the Hollywood sign says “Hollywoodland” which is historically accurate but also such a small detail that most wouldn’t pick up on or even care about. Props to whoever put that in - you are doing a very good job!
Also as someone who is finding the world to be a very sad place at the moment, this series always makes me happier. The song at the end is always a bop and it’s a wonderful escape where I feel good that I’m not just mindlessly consuming content but learning and having a good time. Good job and thank you! A gold star for everyone ⭐️
Very cool crossover: Ida B. Wells, acclaimed investigative journalist, held a memorial for Bessie, and the same person who is a close friend of Jane Addams, from Hull House featured in Ghost Files! I'm learning a lot you guys - and doing some research myself, I'm also learning about the important work they've done. Hope I read more about them in the Puppet University newsletter perhaps? Great episode!
Not gonna lie, I read Hull House as Full House. 😆
@@jordandrinkwater1345 I read it as Hill House. All puppet history watchers can't read :))
@@pigeonatic I mean tha's why we "watch" instead of reading about it isn't it? XD
Ida B. Wells was everywhere
If that's all you know about Ida B. Wells, you should REALLY read up about her. She's AMAZING!
The Dinosaurs are the best characters. I love that the Professor is just like ok, you’re my parents now. They’re so soft. The best found family.
They are sweet indeed
Bessie's smile is so beautiful and infectious even as a photo, I kept catching myself smiling back the entire time lmao
"What you are forgetting is that he was her older brother" made me laugh way more then it should have
I’m proud of Dorthy Ruth for getting back into the dating scene but I hope she is reunited with Stanley
I think Stanley Melvin Murphy wants to be reunited with his dear Dorothy Ruth
I'm hoping that Dorothy Ruth can connect to him through her seance. Maybe he can inform her about what really happened to the professor and how the puppets are all trapped in purgatory. Perhaps she and Ryan can work together to bring the professor back.
31:22 professor: “ya know we’re putting horses out of work.”
ryan, the most sincere man ever: “😔 honestly…”
this man is genuinely so sad for these unemployed horses, i love him so much
To be fair, there's a horse just behind the curtain who's husband has recently died
Ryann Graham’s joy while listening to the song was absolutely infectious. And much needed after the sad ending to Bessie’s story.
Ryan: Do you have a family?
Professor: "I may have... a long time ago, but... memory (demon voice) FADES." Okay, I'm calling it: the Professor's been possessed again, and is trying to turn Ryan into a puppet with that lotion, but fortunately, the "drugs" he's putting in his cup are preventing that.
I think it's the genei taking on the Professors form and the box is how he keeps it up
I think it may be the devil coming to get Ryan.
I assumed that the lotion was a Silence of the Lambs reference. Of course that would mean that "the Professor" (if it really is him) intends to turn Ryan into a meat suit...ew.
I think whatever is now possessing the Professor is planning to possess Ryan, and wants him in good shape and well moisturized
Is it possible he could be referring to the Dino parents? It'd be really weird considering what we think the lore is right now, but you never know!
I need a Puppet History Drunk History special cause I think that’d be hilarious
A crossover with Too Many Spirits, call it Too Many Histories
@@ArtMares91 or Too Many Puppets
Or puppet spirits and it’s an episode where viewers suggest history topics (and possible tell it in their own way) or it HAS to have some sort of spirit involved
okay that is FUCKING GENIUS.
The fact that I heard of Bessie Coleman from Doc McStuffins of all places really says a lot about our education system. Thank you Professor for bringing up this and many other important if forgotten pieces of history! Really hope there's nothing sketchy about that box XD
Also, uh, about 19 years older than my little sister over here XD so hearing 6-7 being 'a lot' did make me a bit nervous lol
I knew someone in high school who was an only child until they were 18 years old. I think Ryan needs to get out more! Lol!
I’m 14 years older than my sister so same hat !! lmao
Had a cry over this one. 2019.... Christ... Glad she's finally got the recognition for all of her work. We cannot let this history be forgotten until it's truly lost
The return of Ryann! Fell in love with him during the Hatsheput episode. So glad to see him back and in such a cute outfit too!
I honestly think this was the best song yet, and the post-credit scenes with the professor and his “parents” are just too cute
They are adorable! I love how they are so willing to learn from their son! Slso I love how the professor calls the pterodactyl dad! Even though he has his past memories, the professor loves and recognizes the dinos as his parents!
I loved this one I also love the volcano one I think the episode was about either Pompeii or Herculaneum
could't agree more
@@annied1738 Mount Vesuvius, from the Pompeii episode, my favourite song full stop, let alone from this series. xD
Ryan Graham and Kate Peterman are my absolute favorite guests of all time, their joy is SO contagious
They airdropped flowers to her grave here in the South Suburbs of Chicago every year for a long time after her death. I always thought that was amazing and a lot of commitment for largely no one to notice.
crazy how the professor invented history to make his own game show, truly limitless power
I love how the professor is messing with Ryan by finally have him win but the prize not being the coveted cup of the history master
Except we now know it really isn’t the Professor, it’s the Hologram Professor.
@@t-rexcellentreviews1663 Is the metal box his power supply?
@@LilianaKali I believe so, but as for what that power supply is, I think it’s the genie’s lamp.
@@t-rexcellentreviews1663 what if it's the souls that were trapped in that theater? like somehow sucking out their life force?
@@bittiesfordays Ryan's going to break the box open and all the lifeless puppets are going to fall out
The one thing I just noticed when comparing this season of puppet history to the older ones is the coloration of the professor now in comparison to the past. Like now he has grey hair and his eyes look different. When in the older seasons he was bright blue and had magnificent red eyes.
Yeah his eyes are unfocused!! Theyre looking different directions
His nose used to be pink too
Wow this one was an emotional ride. The fact that William J Powell named the school after Bessie so even in death she achieved her dream made me tear up.
And the cloud song is probably one of my all time favs.
I love Puppet History teaching about Black/POC historical figures that are otherwise not discussed in the average curriculum. It would be so cool if they expanded on that by teaching about LGBTQ historical events, such as the assassination of Harvey Milk or Stonewall, as well as Black/POC queer historical figures like Marsha P. Johnson or Sylvia Rivera!
I would kill for an episode on Stonewall. Puppet History really is teaching more and better history than the schools (though that bar is 6ft under the ground).
my theory is that the genie is disguised as the professor and that the real professor is in the box, but he's now giant because of his dinosaur dna & next season shane will be in a professor fursuit
Scary.
pls watcher people see this comment i really want to see shane in a giant ass professor fursuit
Why did I think I wrote this comment 😂 you read my mind I guess
God I really hope someday y’all get Rhett and Link to come on here and either play as a team or just have a game of 3 players instead of the normal 2! I think they would be PHENOMENAL guests for this show. If you watch GMM you KNOW they are already SUPER competitive.
absolutely yes
I would love that. I only started watching puppet history after watcher went on to gmm for an episode
they've had collabs with r & l before so it is possible!
Yesss!
YES PLEASE that would be so fucking awesome I love when they collab and puppet history is one of my fav watcher series’s
I love when Ryan says something that Shane finds funny and he has to suppress his laughter to stay in character, right off the bat example; 1:27
Ryan is dressed like a dad and Ryann is dressed like a cool hipster
I’m sorry don’t you mean beef boy is dressed like a dad…
@@windrocker1676 Beef Man.
He is dressed like a FINE father.
I'm weirdly thirsty for Ryan this season. Send help.
@@autumnsfablekeeper4419 I’m sorry, Beef man is dressed like a dad
@@windrocker1676 ahh, yes, my mistake. Beefman is dressed like a dad, and Ryann (with two n's cause he's cool) looks like a cool hipster
@@windrocker1676 Damn straight!
Okay but when the professor, like the REAL professor called Ryan his friend I actually started tearing up man
guest!ryan mentioning he's the first one in his family to do drag and beef!ryan immediately giving him a sports guy high five for it 😂😂
It's awful that she was ignored throughout history. I just hope that now she's getting her recognition, her spirit can now rest peacefully knowing her legacy has finally been praised.
ryann's pure happiness is so contagious! i couldn't stop smiling the entire time!
Agreed!
He was just so damn delighted with everything
Ryan G is such a sweetie I love seeing the pure joy in his face
I JUST WANT TO EAT THE TWINKLE TREATS.
I love that the Ryan constellation is just a frowning face. Also, the professor's remorse for treating Ryan badly is very sweet, especially because he still considers him as a friend after everything. I do wonder why the professor denied him a victory.
incredibly baller to hear her brother say she wasnt shit compared to French women and be like "alright then get me some French classes and a better paying job I Know What Must Be Done"
The funny things about them being scared by The Professor when he tells them to step away from the box when they could very easily beat him in a fight lol
Could they...?
If the professor is just a puppet then yes. I wouldn't be so sure about that tho.
We must give Shane a Award for how good he sings
fr he sings so well even while doing a characters voice he's probably amazing normally
an
@@JesusChrist-dv2zu whoop De Do
yo what like genre of music was this cloud song lol? It absolutely slapped but I can’t place what kinda music it is
I grew up on the Muppets and I really love how Puppet history follows in their foot steps of making ridiculous educational puppet content for adults with some killer one liners.
Jim Henson would have loved this 💜
Also the professor hologram is 100% some other entity trying to make Beef Man into a puppet
I wonder if this is the family that the Professor has referenced in earlier seasons, or if he's finally finding a happy with them after untold centuries of grief after his last one fell to tragedy.....only time will tell. I'm so invested in this!
wait...hold on...i wasn't prepared for that credits scene. professor missing ryan hours? in this puppet household? consider me wrecked (and intrigued). also, the music? goddamn, absolutely immaculate. got teary-eyed and all it's embarassing
Ryann’s pure joy at the song has made my day
The fact that the Somerton Man, The Lady of the Dunes, and the Boy in the Box have been identified this year actually blows my mind! I'm sure you guys played a part in helping to solve these cold cases! Keep being great ❤
That whole postcredit scene made me realize that the stars would TOTALLY been different for dinosaurs and that is so cool!!!
Not gonna lie, I felt like crying when the dude named a flight school after her, even though her death thing was published in 2019, she wasn't forgotten. :'3
Really loved learning about Bessie, but I can't wait to see how the whole cat & mouse game between Ryan and The Professor plays out.
The professor calling Ryan his friend made me very emotional for som reason
I love how the "Professor" chided them about how he doesn't do trick questions, when in the last Ryan(n) episode (Hatshepsut) he hit them with a surprise "all of the above" answer 😂
Everytime Bergara wins the lotion, I feel like he's one step closer to turning into a puppet xD it's all going according to plan *evil professor laughter*
I feel like that’s not actually the professor tho, like a hologram which is why he wants no one to touch him
@@venerandoalamaresjr.8910 Hologram Professor
Thank you so much for covering Bessie Coleman! My dad told me about her growing up and she's been a major role model for me. So glad she's getting more attention.
Good on your dad!
i did my second grade black history month project on her!
Honestly, I'm really enjoying the professor being happy with his parents
They should make a spin off where it's a family friendly show of just the professor answering his parents questions, and teaching them about life and how things work
I’m so glad I live in a world with Puppet History. What a masterpiece.
The Professor immediately making a constellation out of Ryan before anything else at the end is so fucking sweet
i think it's hilarious ryan finally got what he wanted, and seems genuinely unhappy with it. the world doesn't want ryan to be happy
Ryann Graham is a delight! Glad he got to meet in person this season.
I did a project on Bessie Coleman back when I was a kid, and no one knew who she was or why she mattered to me. Nice to see her get a bit more time in the spotlight :)
So this guy doesn't remember he's related to the cookie monster and is in the same species as the Blue Man Group eh?
What an incredible episode!! Thanks!! Loved to see Ryann back, his smile is lovely and his happiness makes me happy too
It's not really him... send help....
Its funny how despite all of the great gags, dark humor etc., what always gets me the most to this day is when the professor simply turns and stares at Ryan with those souless glass eyes. (Which always somehow manage to look blank, yet pissed off at the same time.)
I'm gonna miss the demon, hologram, fake professor.
His random breaks in the matrix are hilarious. "Bark beef man bark" killed me 🤣
Hearing that someone honored her legacy and opened a flight school in her name made me more emotional than I though it would
I love the story of Bessie Coleman. I'm glad you guys did her story.
My dad always said it doesn't matter what you do in life, just always do your best. If you are a ditch digger, then be the best one there is and you won't be in that ditch for long. This incredible woman didn't let any naysayers stand in her way. Many people today could use some lessons from Bessie!
My dad said that too. I took it to heart 💗
Ryan: *just wants a simple staring contest*
Professor: *demonic screeching straight from the pits of Hell*
Ryan just straight up saying I’m the first person to successfully and unsuccessfully kill a puppet shook me. I was not ready
I really like how instead of just running away and trying to get back home, the professor accepts being adopted by his new Dino parents. They’re so happy together !!! One big unconventional family!!
When the professor started making those horrfiic noises at 0:58, I kid you not the most inhuman sound came out of my mouth, along with my drink. I was completely flabbergasted.
Good to know that this one made a lot of other people cry too. What an amazing woman. Took way too long to recognize her but I’m glad we finally did
so happy to see Bessie Coleman covered!! I wanted to be a pilot *so* bad when I was growing up ‘cause of Coleman, my mom made sure I knew about her and how much of a badass she was. I even knew how she passed going into this, but it still makes me tear up to hear, y’know? I’m so glad people are learning about her.
ryan's face at 3:06 in response to beef man's "insurance kids" is giving me life
I think this is my favourite episode so far this season!!! the awesome story, cute af cloud puppet (SHOUTOUT TO MADISON), fun vaguely-cursed song, and THE FREAKING FAMILY MOMENTS AT THE END????? jfc im in LOVE with the professors new dinosaur parents. Joyce and Garrett are abosolutely INCREDIBLE in their voice acting
also puppet history should 100% cover the life of Eugene Bullard - first African American fighter pilot in both world wars plus he owned a jazz club and was a renowned boxer - honestly an awesome dude
The Professor’s parents are everything. I love the wired little prehistoric puppet family.
The Beef-boy has become a Beef-man, he must've had a Beef Mitzvah
He had a beef marriage! He’s a married beef man now! A beefsband! A bouse!
Mazel Tov!
I love the history you all present but I have to admit, the after back story has me hooked on this season! Ryan seems to finally figure things out!! DUN-DUN-DUNNN
As someone who grew up in Jacksonville Florida, I’m surprised yet not surprised I didn’t know about this with Florida public education. I knew about Bessie after being an adult but at 30 I just learned she died in my city, on the west side where I grew up, and the flight began on the site where the high school I attended was eventually built. Mind blowing and saddening at the same time.
I was expecting a story about a girl who studied aviation since childhood and flew her first plane at like 18 years old. Instead, I got something way more relatable. This was so inspiring 🥲
Even if you had to drop out of college and now you're doing nails instead of following your dreams, keep your focus and don't let go of that goal. It really can happen. And I'm sure having all of that conviction and general life experience only made her that much more of an amazing pilot and person in general. ❤️
The Dino Professors' parents are too cute. A loving little family
I need Shane to write and direct a movie IMMEDIATELY
Oooohhh this is who American Duchess named their line of vintage repro aviator boots after 🥺 I remember when I got them, I was like "huh, i wonder why they're called the 'Bessie' boots and not, like, the 'Amelia' boots".
What an incredible woman! Its a shame she never got the recognition she deserved
Bessie’s story and life really reminds me of Josephine Baker and i think that if we had an episode on her it would be an absolutely banger (just like this one)
For some reason I wasn't prepared to hear the phrase "Zuko scar" being spoken by The Professor. Amid all the chaos I wasn't expecting that.
I am all for the professor's new found love of hissing.
