It takes an hour to drive from Tórshavn all the way up north to Hvannasund, a fishing village of 248 people. Marshfield and Østrem won’t tell me if someone tipped them off, or if there’s another way they heard about the hunt. But they do share their plan: to document everything, even if it means breaking the law by flying a drone over the site of the hunt.

The roads are drilled straight through mountains to save the trouble of climbing up or around, and each time we exit a tunnel, I catch my breath. Waterfalls flush down emerald hills, dotted with small sheds for sheep, and tumble into glittering fjords. Marshfield talks about how nervous he is. It’s his first grind; he’s unsure how he’ll handle the blood.

Østrem has more experience with it. He was here for a couple of months in 2022 after several years of volunteering with other animal rights organizations in Oslo, Norway. He’s horrified by the way people treat animals around the world, including at fish farms in Norway. To him, the grind is just one example of the way humanity abuses other beings.

Marshfield is similarly resolute. He got involved with Sea Shepherd about eight years ago, after seeing an online photo of a slaughtered whale that left him deeply upset. His activism gradually scaled up; he started by donating, then sharing things on Facebook and selling T-shirts. Eventually, he joined Sea Shepherd campaigns in Sicily and Iceland. Now, he’s here. He grows more solemn as we drive, steeling himself to see a dead whale in person.

Watson’s followers have a long history of fighting the grind. Activist groups, including Sea Shepherd, first started protesting the tradition back in the 1980s, putting the archipelago under global scrutiny. “People were telling us it didn’t look nice,” says Bjarni Mikkelsen, marine mammal specialist at the Faroe Marine Research Institute.

According to Mikkelsen, environmentalists grew troubled over whether the hunt was hurting pilot whale populations. “People walked around with banners, saying it was unsustainable,” he says. Around the same time, sighting surveys were launched to estimate population levels. The North Atlantic Marine Mammal Commission, a body comprising the Faroe Islands, Greenland, Iceland, and Norway, has since carried them out every six years.

Using standard international sampling techniques, surveyors most recently estimated the population of pilot whales in the Faroes–Iceland area to be around 380,000. Survey to survey, this number changes, depending on timing and coverage. But scientists consistently report abundances that can sustain the Faroese catch. “The population is high compared to other species in the North Atlantic,” Mikkelsen says, and there’s no significant downward trend.

Greenpeace eventually abandoned their opposition. But Sea Shepherd held firm. In 2014, under Watson’s leadership, around 70 volunteers descended on the islands for Operation GrindStop, donning black hoodies stamped with Sea Shepherd’s distinctive Jolly Roger insignia and physically intervening in hunts by jumping into the bay. The following year, the organization returned with the same conduct, resulting in fines, arrests, and court cases.

Resentment for the disturbances lingers among many of the Faroese, especially since Sea Shepherd Global continues to fight the hunt, though in softer ways. “Sea Shepherd’s history with the Faroe Islands has been quite aggressive and colorful,” says Valentina Crast, the group’s current Stop the Grind campaign coordinator. Now, she’s working on a tamer strategy, focused on building a local community of supporters.

Watson’s new foundation, meanwhile, wants to maintain the same level of pressure Sea Shepherd once brought. “We’re living in a world where there is no enforcement of international conservation laws,” Watson says. “The high seas are the Wild West. And we’re sort of vigilantes.”

The 73-year-old self-proclaimed pirate (a title confirmed by a United States Court of Appeals in 2013) is against the killing of whales on moral grounds, no matter who does it, or how. He has carried out his brand of vigilantism for nearly 50 years. Talking to him is like talking to a buccaneer who shares stories of sirens and sword fights, except Watson’s tales consist of ramming Portuguese whaling vessels, sinking Icelandic ships, and tricking Soviet soldiers. He’s been criticized for targeting Indigenous peoples over their traditional subsistence hunting practices, including seal hunters in Canada and teenage whalers in Alaska.

After the crackdown by the Faroese government, protests quelled for a while. But in recent years, social media and an increase in tourism have put the grind back in the spotlight. The Faroe Islands now receive about 100,000 visitors a year, and the nation is often included on top destination lists for its dramatic landscapes. During the summer when seabirds breed, bird lovers flock to spot puffins, guillemots, and other species that nest by the thousands on the steep cliffs. Hilton opened a hotel here in 2020, and the local airline is testing out a weekly direct route from New York. Unaware tourists might encounter a whale hunt occurring in the harbor, as those on a docked cruise ship did last summer; in that instance, most were not happy about the spectacle. Such stories, along with rather gruesome photos of the hunt itself, can be shared worldwide. The Captain Paul Watson Foundation seeks to capitalize on this.

Seizing its moment after splitting from Sea Shepherd, the Captain Paul Watson Foundation sent its first vessel—the John Paul DeJoria, registered in Jamaica and named after the cofounder of John Paul Mitchell Systems hair products—to the Faroe Islands in July 2023 to stop the whale hunts. But the Faroese government barred the ship’s entry to the archipelago via executive order. Ultimately, Watson made only two brief, albeit dramatic appearances, entering the nation’s waters once in an unsuccessful attempt to reach a grind and again 10 days later at news that someone had spotted a pod.

After the second breach, Jamaica stripped the ship’s registration at the request of the Faroese government, and the John Paul DeJoria was ported in the United Kingdom. Land crew, including Marshfield and Østrem, remained in Tórshavn to document what they could.

Here is a story about Ukrainain refugees in Wisconsin near where my grandparents lived!

TOWN OF COLBY – The documentary opens in Ukraine — sirens blaring over visuals of bombed-out buildings, a family frantically evacuating an apartment, explosions, glass shattering, a child screaming.

Then, peaceful orchestral music plays over a drone shot of a quiet, picturesque farm surrounded by snow and the words "Unity, Wisconsin."

It's the beginning of the 25-minute film, "One Good Reason." The movie unspools the unlikely story about how a family from Lviv fled Russian bombs for the safety of a family farm in the town of Colby, a handful of miles northwest the tiny town of Unity. Directed by Emmy winners Perry Peltz and Matthew O'Neill, the film was produced by Tribeca Studios and unveiled at the Tribeca Film Festival in June.

"One Good Reason" follows Mykola and Olesia Hnatiuk and their two sons, Roman, 6, and Dmytro, 3, as they settle in a new life on the farm thanks to the generosity of farmers Bryce and Maxine (Max) Luchterhand.

The documentary includes the unique program that brought them together. They met through an online platform called Welcome Connect, which, almost like a dating app, matches refugees with American sponsors. It’s run by Welcome US, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization helping people from Ukraine and a few other troubled regions.

Eating Out

Chicken wings from Ramen Hana in Port Saint Lucie, FL. This place is a go-to whenever I visit PSL.

Turkey sando from Gerard Farm in Marshfield, MA. Such a classic.

Burgers from KKaties in Marshfield, Ma, and B.GOOD in Boston, MA. Very different burgers but both fantastic.

2 mornings, 2 Bagel sandwiches in NYC

A lemon beberage from The Flatiron Room in NYC. I don’t drink but they had great non-alcoholic options like this.

A loaded Hot Dog & chocolate shake from Mainley Burgers in Boston, MA. They gave me one single passive aggressive fry for some reason.

Eating an entire pizza at Fathers on Cape Cod, MA.

From Apocalypse Coffee Roasters in Melbourne FL. I seriously miss this place.

The Last Documented Widow of a Civil War Veteran Has Died

On December 16, 2020, Helen Viola Jackson died in Marshfield, Missouri at the age of 101. She was the last known widow of a Civil War veteran, marrying 93-year-old James Bolin in 1936 at the age of 17.

James Bolin was a 93-year-old widower when Jackson's father volunteered her to stop by his house each day and assist him with chores as she headed home from school.

Bolin, who was a private in the 14th Missouri Cavalry and served until the end of the war in Co. F, did not believe in accepting charity and after a lengthy period of time asked Jackson for her hand in marriage as a way to provide for her future.

"He said that he would leave me his Union pension," Jackson explained in an interview with Historian Hamilton C. Clark. "It was during the depression and times were hard. He said that it might be my only way of leaving the farm."

Jackson didn't talk publicly about her marriage until the last few years and never applied for the pension -- the last person receiving a Civil War pension from the US government died in mid-2020. As I wrote then, about the Great Span:

This is a great example of the Great Span, the link across large periods of history by individual humans. But it's also a reminder that, as William Faulkner wrote: "The past is never dead. It's not even past." Until this week, US taxpayers were literally and directly paying for the Civil War, a conflict whose origins stretch back to the earliest days of the American colonies and continues today on the streets of our cities and towns.

Hey, just wondering where you're seeing all the wildflowers at. I'm in Burlington area & always on the lookout for new spots to go to.

Hi! I'm in Central Vermont so I end up exploring around Montpelier a ton, but my favorite picture spot is Adamant. There's the music school, co-op, a big pond, beautiful mountains, farms.... Highly recommend checking it out.

Also, Onion River Campground in Marshfield is really pretty and you can swim in the river and hang out on the campground for free during the day and there's food trucks in the area.

Middlesex too! Love love love Camp Meade/Red Hen Bakery community spot.

What are your favorite spots between Burlington and Montpelier area? Thanks for the message! Love your art!🌻💕

36 39 44. Are these easier? :) (same anon :P )

36: Where I would like to live

okay this isn’t really easier because i have a handful of dreams about where i’d like to live and they’re really specific. i think i’d most like to live in a lovely rustic cottage type house just out of oxford, close enough that it has good and quick transport links or is easily accessible by car but not so close that i’d have to deal with the hustle and bustle yanno? just country enough but not too much because i love my amenities and i don’t want to have to go far if i realise i’ve run out of butter. bare wood and stone with plushy rugs… a fireplace… one or two cats and a flock of chickens and maybe a dog to keep the foxes away because realistically you can’t free range chickens with no dog. cosy and rustic and autumn themed. a perfect english country garden with a border of foxgloves and delphiniums. a herb spiral and vegetable garden and an orchard with every kind of fruit tree. a big comfortable bed with the softest sheets.

or, consider: an apartment that is cosy but not claustrophobic. a cute little balcony i can fill with mini fruit trees and hanging baskets and flower pots for the bees. preferably a city like paris (i’d have to learn the language tho and i’m not good with languages) although i could pull an oxford again because i’m in love with the place. or somewhere else like bath that has that gorgeous cobbled road feel (this is a fantasy bath and oxford are expensive orz).

39: My favourite ice cream flavour

my typical answer is mint choc chip but i also had the marshfield farm salted caramel recently and it blew my fuckin mind so if you present me with a tub of marshfield farm salted caramel ice cream i will probably marry you because it’s the bomb.

44: A random fact about anything

anon seriously are you aware of how many random facts i know. excavations of roman latrines showed that intestinal parasites amongst romans were actually very common despite their hygiene and this is probably because they loved the fermented fish condiment garum, which wasn’t cooked so all the parasites from the fish were still active, and because they carted city waste out to be laid on fields but you have to compost it for six months before you can do that or intestinal parasites can still be transmitted except they didn’t know that.
