Please enjoy a few Moby-Dick illustrations by Gary Netter! They were originally published in an abridged edition by Raintree Publishers in 1982 (a total of 11 illustrations). Personally, I really, really like them (despite the atrociously modern shirts) and think they deserve some admiration.

Wouldn't otherwise recommend the edition however, since apparently the racism and supposed religious superiority wasn't clear enough in the original, so they put brave effort in enhancing it. Also they botched Ahab's last monologue.

Awesome pictures though and whoa, if that isn't some Queequeg fan service, I don't know what is. 😂

as i expected throughout the whole episode i was so tense and with teary eyes. the whole damn episode. but i literally bawled my eyes out in three moments. the three of them made me stop watching to catch a breath and to just think about life and choices and stuff. i was so into them i felt sick to my stomach

1. when Babe kissed Babe's forehead three times, it got to me more than the whole scene of Babe realising Charlie was dead. it was so tender, full of regret of untold words, it was what Babe regretted not doing to Charlie before the race. it was a goodbye. it was a 'i cannot live without you'. a 'i respect and love you so much for everything you've done for me', a 'i do not deserve you', a 'you do not deserve this'. i felt it all. it was a detail that made all the difference to me and of which i am very thankful for. it was what my emotions needed to really make me go 'no! this is happening' and make me crumble

2. Babe alone at home with Charlie's gloves while reminiscing their times together. he remembered their first meeting as expected. but then he remembered moments that Charlie made him feel special, told him he is special, irrevocably and unconditionally told him he is the reason he ever tried to stop Tony. Babe knows that what Charlie has been doing is not for his own self, but for Babe. this moment Babe is feeling so much pain and so much guilt and it's palpable. and it's as if he feels like the gloves are the only good thing he gave to Charlie and he wants to hold on to them. he needs a physical thing to hold on to, given he doesn't have Charlie. he wants to keep the thing he gave to Charlie and thinks he likes the most. he wants to keep what he saw in Charlie's eyes was what he was most proud of. (Babe, news to you: you are it. you are what Charlie most wanted, most loved and most wanted to show off. you are what makes Charlie happy. you)

3. Alan and Dean's scene (PHENOMENAL) what a moment. seeing Sailub and Lee's emotions so raw that they are physically feeling it. that's the feeling i got. the hurting in their voices made me go crazy. i lost myself there. and i got the whole moment. Dean always felt like the outsider, haven't found his place and used that to self-pity, never spoke about it until recently and only now is doing something to not live in the shadows, but unfortunately by doing wrong decisions. they are family (remembering these men have no blood relatives, they are each others family and that's as valid as blood relatives. it's Family) i am sure they would support him if he decided to find his place somewhere on the racing world. but he was so desperate he decided to do it by siding with the person that has done most harm to his family members, and by harming a family member (i know nothing about mechanics, but he said it, he did want to scare Charlie so he would give up racing, so Dean was willing to make Charlie get into an accident to scare him). and Alan was so hurt. and i bet i know some traits of him so he must be thinking 'this is happening again within my family, the family i started, the people i sworn to protect, i must not be monitoring their feelings well, where did i do wrong, i definitely did something wrong'. but at the same time he knew Dean did a very bad thing, the was so hurt with Dean and so disappointed. and to make the (right!) choice of calling the police on a family member must be so hard. they will not be family like before. the trust was broken. and realising that this is the end, the way they physically gave up and bended. Alan grabbing him like he wants to embrace him still! i believe they get each other's point of view, but Dean was already so hurt by all these years (this boy has a fucking inner saboteur!) and false accusations but shattered by the fact that Alan could in fact, but to his eyes only now, show love towards him and Alan was so hurt that a family member hurt another family member (again) and still very regretful for what he could have done… this is unequivocally a breakup and it was very real and hurtful to watch

Saving Women's Sports also means learning about women athletes

ROSEDALE, Miss. —

Mildrette Netter, Mississippi's first woman Olympic medalist, was the catalyst for change in women's track in the state.

"I wanted to go and experience a better life," Netter said.

Netter grew up in Rosedale, Mississippi.

"Two things I was at a disadvantage for was being from Mississippi and being short," she said.

This was the reason given by the coach at Tennessee State when he declined to give her a scholarship in 1967.

"There were no women's track programs in the state of Mississippi at all," Netter said.

She thought her career was over until Alcorn State University head track coach Grant Dungee reached out to her.

"She was the only girl," Dungee said. "Some of the guys she could beat."

Netter competed in out-of-state meets, shocking the competition as the short girl from Mississippi exploded onto the scene and into the 1968 Olympic 4 by 100-meter team.

"It made me eager and hungry," Netter said.

Her personal struggle was set against the backdrop of the civil rights movement and the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., just months before her Olympic debut.

Netter's husband, Alcorn teammate and Vietnam vet Willie, experienced the struggle firsthand.

"He had so much spirit, it put chills through you. That night that he was assassinated, we were at Alcorn college. Something happened there on base, they came on base, we got beat up on base on campus that night," Willie said.

"That was a very turmoil time in our country," Netter said.

Tommie Smith and John Carlos protested through their raised fist on the podium.

"Everyone protests in their own way," she added.

The lesser-known story of American social justice from the 1968 Olympics was Netter's effect on the state of Mississippi.

"They can see me, then hey, maybe they can be me," she said.

The Magnolia State was watching, and after seeing Netter help Team USA set a new world record in the 4 by 100 meters, it started to change.

"The next year, that's when they formed the team," Netter said.

Alcorn was one of the first, and other schools followed. No longer did Mississippi women have to go out of state to pursue their track and field dreams.

Netter wasn't the first woman to play sports in Mississippi, but she very well may have been the most important.
