Love seeing stuff where Odysseus says "Don't worry, I'm gonna sed-Zeus him. You guys wait here." instead of picking between himself and his crew.

Ed's drink of choice is port for the reason that it looks like a hard drink that fits the Blackbeard imagery, but actually its a little fruity sweet treat & far nicer than any other spirit

"Art" is wonderful. It's creative and expressive and beautiful or eerie or anything you want it to be.

"Craft" is wonderful. It's making, sewing, weaving, knitting, felting, making puppets, creating with your hands.

"Art and craft" sounds like you're five and you're gluing paper together, with some stickers and scrawled stick figures on top.

I know it's a class/gender gender thing, men go to school and study fine art and they are artists, and women stay home and darn socks and make clothes for the family and when people show up to march in thousands of pink hats the people in charge ask what factory is producing them because it doesn't even occur that people are at home picking up hooks and needles and making their own and for friends.

(I was reading an article recently that said "and so she crocheted the first knit kippah" and I had to vent to my friends that you do not CROCHET a KNIT kippah, your crochet a crochet kippah and you knit a knit kippah they are different skills! People dont have respect for fiber craft to think "crochet a knit kippah, does something seem off about that, do I know what these methods are in most basic form? Even enough to know that crochet uses one hook and knitting uses two needles. Or that machines can knit but not crochet).

But like. How do you express that you engage in both art and craft without sounding like a kindergartner? Is there a better umbrella term?

God Bless Our Native Land

Okay, so this may just be news to me a proud Scot and staunch anti-monarchist who's made a point of never actually knowing the words to the British national anthem, but it's just come to my attention that Hickey's actually singing quite a specific version of it.

The lyrics heard within the show are credited to William Edward Hickson, a British educational writer, and they first appear in his book The Singing Master, published in 1836.

This is very interesting to me for two reasons.

-

Firstly, while Hickson's lyrics do still have a strong religiosity to them, they are also far less stridently imperialistic and sycophantic in their praise of the divinely-appointed monarch. In fact, they don't make specific mention of a monarch at all. Compare a verse of the more popular, traditional version of the national anthem:

O Lord our God, arise, Scatter her enemies, And make them fall, Confound their politics; Frustrate their knavish tricks; On Thee our hopes we fix; God save us all.

To a verse from Hickson's:

Not on this land alone But be God's mercies known From shore to shore. Lord, make the nations see That men should brothers be, And from one family The wide world o'er.

It makes perfect sense to me that Hickey would espouse one version over the other. Not only would he likely have been in the formative years of his youth/young adulthood when first exposed to Hickson's lyrics, given what we know about Hickey's politics it follows perfectly that he might identify far more with those less imperialistic, less monarchical words.

-

Secondly, it's very important to me and a tiny bit funny to discover the specific point at which Hickey's rendition in the show is cut off by Tuunbaq's impending arrival. Hickson's lyrics continue:

God bless our native land, May heaven's protecting hand Still guard our shore; May peace her power extend Foe be transformed to friend

And suffice it to say, a foe being transformed into a friend is certainly not what happens next!
