Date: May 30th
Category: Reflection | Celebration | Historical Round-Up
We began with bonfires and ended with book clubs.
We met martyrs, messengers, makers, and myth-breakers.
And together, we spent 30 days travelling through history’s greatest rebellions — and finding their echoes in today’s world.
Welcome to the Time Traveller’s Guild Resistance Month Finale: a celebratory round-up of everything we read, stitched, marched, watched, and whispered across May 2025.
Let’s rewind through revolution — and toast the defiance.

🔥 The Top 5 Takeaways
- Rebels don’t always look like rebels.
They’re couriers. Seamstresses. Librarians. Teenagers with flyers and people with tired feet but big dreams. - The tools of resistance are everywhere.
A pen. A patch. A printing press. A postage stamp. A loaf of bread with a secret inside. - Protest can be joyful.
Singing in the street, quilting with community, laughing in satire — joy is not distraction, it’s defiance. - History is still happening.
The movements we explored are not over. Climate justice, labour rights, queer liberation — all still need you. - You are a part of the story.
Every time you remember, speak, sew, read, resist, and share — you carry the torch.
