Happy birthday!

thank you!!

[dishearteningmediocrity]

Thank you very much to Jory (@werewolfetone) for this beautiful double portrait of Mary Ann and Henry Joy McCracken, 18th/19th century Belfast's most dynamically revolutionary sibling duo! He is currently doing art commissions to support the people of Palestine--find his page with the information here.

Definitely check out his blog for some of the most thoughtful, entertaining, well-researched, and righteously indignant history/cultural commentary you're likely to see--as well as fascinating original art and characters.

And please support those still in desperate need in Gaza. Click here for a list of further places you can help with donations. If you can't give money, keep speaking out so that they are not forgotten.

Nope, still don't like Orange.

everyone hates orange until they actually see her in context. "oh it's such an ugly color, too bright!" look at sunsets and autumn, look at campfires and deserts. she's the most beautiful and special part of the scene. now apologize.

Just saw a post and I am NOT qualified to make an addition, but it has to be said, an integral part of Crozier's Irishness SURELY must also be that he's a Dissenter? Not sure that term was used a lot anymore by the middle of the century, but he's not catholic. He's Presbyterian! "The Church of England gives you hives" - Because he is a Protestant, but not an Anglican! After 1798 and 1801 and iirc, also the Catholic Emancipation, Presbyterians and other non-Anglicans were folded into the Ascendancy, but throughout the 18th century, they were also the target of oppression and known for their protests.

(Also, I'm not sure Hickey, as in E.C. is Irish at all, I've seen people argue against it and thought that makes sense with his accent switch at the end as well.)

((Rest of the post is interesting and good though :))

Looks like horses do that, too. So, I knew a horse who wouldn't pick up his feet, despite me knowing (from a few rare occasions) that he actually had lovely gaits. The thing was, he just never really did, because why have exercise and put effort into your walk when you could be in your king-size pasture, munching on grass?

In the process of him just 'slouching' along, he'd get his feet caught on stones, roots etc. and would stumble.

Seeing as that's dangerous and, on a somewhat less important note, not exactly pleasant for the person on his back, I started singing simple melodies in order to give him a rhythm, hoping that he'd adjust his walk to the song, start to walk decently according to the rhythm, and stumble less. What started as a silly little idea after having read an article about a study where researchers played music of different genres to horses started to yield surprising results.

Experimenting a little, I realised that firstly, it worked, and secondly, his favourite song seemed to be Over the Hills and Far Away. We got to the point where he would slouch fully on purpose in order to make me sing that song.

So yeah. Seems like he was pretending to be Marengo or Copenhagen bravely accompanying Napoleon or Wellington respectively into battle while carrying me through some calm, idyllic woods and fields...

romanticizing your life is such a powerful tool and it’s a shame that it’s mostly used by people on tiktok to justify the purchase of expensive breakfast smoothies when there are few better ways to force oneself through unpleasant shit than imagining a cinematic backstory for your extremely quotidian suffering

To settle this once and for all:

Wolf tone: undesirable, warbling noise that can happen in some string instruments played with bows, most notoriously in cellos.

(Theobald) Wolfe Tone: 1763–1798, founding member of the Belfast and Dublin united Irishmen, key figure in the struggle for Irish independence in the later 18th century, famously involved in the Rebellion of 1798, often considered as the father of modern Irish republicanism.

The Wolfe Tones: Band formed in 1963, named after the above, most prominent genre: music relating to the Irish struggle for independence through the centuries.

@werewolfetone : Tumblr blog run by Wolfe Tone, who has never died, but was actually bitten by a werewolf, obviously. Commonly goes by Jory these days, just avoid inviting him to any political activities taking place by the rising of the moon. PSA: pikes won't stop a werewolf.

Dear god. please make all superyachts explode tomorrow. amen.

Now that I have your attention, I'd like to direct you towards my friend Ahmed's fundraiser. He and his family, including his wife and three small children, are trapped in Gaza amidst active genocide and an aid blockade causing devastating famine during a bitter winter where scarce survival goods cost exorbitant prices. He needs €1,000 per month to be able to feed his family and purchase supplies, and clothing without using his evacuation funds, which he has already had to do and threatens his family's ability to escape when the border finally opens. We need to raise €117 PER DAY within the next 5 days to be able to provide for the month of November.

PLEASE give what you can to help them make it. Ahmed has told me that this fundraiser and those who run and contribute to it are all he, his wife, and children have. Their survival is up to us.

€0/€117 DAILY GOAL.

Vetted by el-shab-hussein and nabulsi (line 68). I've also seen multiple modes of verification, set the family up with their beneficiary, and have witnessed several successful bank transfers. Ahmed has also given me forms of verification to provide to donors who request it. DM me if it will secure your donation.

Hello!

Let me introduce you to my friend @ameinababa2024 .

She is the wonderful mother of four children: Jude (12 years old), Habiba (10 years old),  Omar (six years old) and Maryam, who is only 1 year old. She lived most of her life during this terrible genocide.

Amina studied graphic design. Three months before the war, she finished her studies and started working. Her husband was also working as a driver.

And then the war came. They found themselves jobless. They were displaced, forced to live in a tent which has been floodeed by the first rain of the season. Winter is coming, and Amina's family urgently needs your help.

Her daughter Jude also needs treatement for her glandular problems, which she can't receive under these circumstances. And let's not forget that Maryam is a baby who needs milk and diapers.

Please, help her. Her fundraiser has been vetted here.

Donate whatever you can, and if you can't, please share.

Don't worry, you just haven't gotten the hang of handling your air friar (have you not studied the instruction manual prior to activating him?)! This model is called Saint Joseph of Cupertino, and is an absolute premium household investment!

Here's how it works: If you pray to him nicely enough, he will make you ace your exams!

In order to take proper care of your Saint Joseph of Cupertino, you should provide him with some enrichment. Many owners of Saint Joseph of Cupertinos and similar models go the generic route of playing Gregorian chants or the Name of the Rose audiobooks to their air friar in order to give their living space a monastic feel, but we recommend something more personal. As the goldfinch is the animal associated with Saint Joseph of Cupertino, perhaps a nature documentary will keep him occupied and will prevent excessive flying around and unwanted preaching!

With a little enrichment and proper care, you will soon be able to enjoy all the benefits of your air friar!

Saint Joseph of Cupertino- for intellectual high flyers, and everyone who wants to be one!

my stupid fucking aunt loraine bought us an air friar for our wedding present 🤦‍♀️ the apartments barely big enough for the two of us now weve got this dumb asshole flying around preaching at us ... every time i get a migraine he tries to give me herbs and poultices 🙄

[grants-blue-eyed-stare]

I saw the post @werewolfetone made about Hodgson and need to pop off with information in my brain. I LOVE his story about going to church becuase the symbolism is so, uh, meaty? Yeah I’ll go with that. *Ahem ahem* here is my simplified literary analysis of that scene :)

Simply put, 19th century Britain is Protestant and most of the people on the expedition are, too. They view Catholics as being damned to hell for practicing the wrong religion. Young Hodgson really thought he was going to be damned, too. He betrays his religious by accepting the eucharist. In Catholicism, when a clergyman blesses the eucharist, it literally becomes the body and blood of Christ. Now is when things come together. In literature, the general name for eating anything symbolically is communion. It can have so many different meanings, including cannibalism. Hodgson has equated church communion and cannibalism communion, he thinks he is twice damned for consuming body and blood now as he did of Christ in his youth. Each are a sin and he repents, vowing to never commit the sin again.

This may be me applying this symbolism a little bit further than the writers intended, but I find it interesting that he confesses his sins to Goodsir. In Catholicism, there are seven sacraments in which members of the church must complete. Only two of these generally exist in Protestant religions. One sacrament unique to Catholicism is confession, going to a clergyman to ask for the forgiveness of sins. In Protestantism , confession is done by confessing directly to God through prayer. Although Hodgson is Protestant, he confesses to Goodsir, a character who is also imbued with religious symbolism as a Christ-like figure. With this, Hodgson’s fate is sealed. He has defied his religion, has defied God, and faces certain doom.

Religious symbolism actually goes wild in the Terror, it’s really fun to pick apart. In that one scene when Goodsir enters Hickey’s tent, Goodsir is literally stepping into the darkness from the light. There is religious symbolism as Goodsir stepping out of God’s light into the darkness with the devil. He has rejected God, and he knows it, by becoming another one of Hickey’s rats and doing his bidding. Since there is no one there to keep order besides the devil himself, he must punish himself by death.

Ok ok, Goodsir’s death. There are so many layers. First he is really stepping into his Christ-like role of sacrificing himself to save others from damnation. This has layers, too. In the Bible, Jesus accepted crucification and death to forgive the sins of humans, saving them all from damnation in hell. In this case, the sin committed is murder and cannibalism. From Hodgson’s confession, we know that Goodsir forgives him for his sin. From the entire series, we know Goodsir truly cares for all the shipmen. As a Christ-like figure, he cares for and forgives them despite their atrocities.

To understand the depth of his sacrifice, we have to understand Hickey’s symbolism. Hickey is pretty obviously a devilish or satanic figure. He has manipulated the men to become his rats. Hickey is the devil and they are simply misguided sinners who have been led into the darkness by him. They can be saved from the darkness they have been trapped in.

Goodsir’s sacrifice is meant to save them from the darkness. His sacrifice has also saved others from being murdered and cannibalized. By explaining his sacrifice to Crozier who could warn the men, he gave the them a chance to survive and return to the light and righteousness. Finally, they eat his body and blood to add on to the Christ-like figure symbolism. Crozier is the only one to resist the devilish temptation of cannibalism. He is forced into it by Hickey, reminding us that he is just a mere mortal who sins,

When bro is making himself poisonous he wipes an unidentified liquid upon his body. GUESS WHAT it’s symbolism for baptism. This is a common type of religious symbolism in literature. Baptism is believed to forgive all sins, so Goodsir is cleansed of his own sin. Most importantly, he is forgiven for the butchering of Gibson which he obviously repents for after the devil forces his hand by threatening to harm an innocent Hodgson. So, in The Terror canon, Goodsir is in heaven. Good for him. :)

To top-off the Christ-like symbolism, the wrist wounds he inflicts upon himself are adjacent to the palm wounds Christ receives from crucification.

Now I need to figure out what the images mean… Another time!

Adding some of my own favourite people have always been people stories:

A medieval university professor ranting about how his students are lazy party-people who only carry a book around to look smart, and always arrive late and unprepared. (I wish I could tell off the top of my head when and where this was from; I think it was from a 15th century central European source, I might have it in my old notes somewhere)

The Dominican friar Felix Fabri (1438/1439–1502) completed two pilgrimages, on which he kept a journal, which was later published. He surprised his European travelling companions when, renting donkeys from a local businessman for, if I recall correctly, a guided tour to Mount Sinai, the donkey driver-guide recognised him from his first pilgrimage a few years prior. He kissed Felix on the cheek, tried to make conversation with him (Felix had a limited knowledge of Arabic) and showed him preferment throughout the tour by continously giving him a fresh donkey to ride, sharing his water with him and trusting Felix with his whip. Felix, moved by the trust and affection shown to him, recorded the encounter for posterity. The name of the donkey driver was Cassa, an enslaved person. We still know Cassa's name, and can read about his incredible kindness to a near-stranger today.

Mary Henrietta Stuart, Princess of Orange (1631–1660), upon realising that her infant son, the future William III, was not a healthy child whose physical development seemed to be delayed, nicknamed him her "Piccinino" after the 15th century Italian mercenary captain who rose to military fame despite having been of low stature and impeded by a limp and generally poor health.

Justine Siegmund (1636–1705) became an accomplished midwife and gynecological practitioner who published a manual on midwifery in 1690. She chose her profession after having had a possibly traumatic experience having been wrongfully diagnosed as being pregnant by a midwife at 20 or 21, wanting to improve future conditions during pregnancy and childbirth for other women. In a dispute over Siegmund's practices with her former supervisor, a doctor and professor at the university of Frankfurt an der Oder, his colleagues sided with her.

Lionel Sackville, 1st Duke of Dorset (1688–1765) proving that kids will always be kids when he, aged about 3, did what no adult dared to and interrupted King William III in his study to tell him tea was ready, and the Queen already waiting for him. The encounter ended in William putting down his pen straight away, and lifting Lionel into his toy cart, pulling the little boy, presumably at quite some speed, through the gallery.

Samuel Graves (1713–1787), an admiral in the Royal Navy, very likely helped protect his niece's best friend from an arranged marriage. Mary Anne Burges's (1763–1813) parents were intent to marry her off in her late teens, stating that the family money could not support all their daughters in the event of her father's death. While there was a proposal later in life (which Burges turned down), it appears that she had no sexual or romantic interest in men, and was not particularly secretive about that. Burges went on to spend prolonged "holidays" living with her best friend Elizabeth Posthuma Gwillim's family, her aunt and uncle Graves, where the girls could be, by all accounts, carefree teenagers. Graves, who appears to have shared his wife's beliefs in women's rights, particularly in their choice to marry or remain single to a significant degree, grew to be a paternal figure in her life. Burges, a published author, remained single for life and later designed Graves's memorial in the local church.

Henry Clinton (1730–1795) fell in love with Mary Baddeley (1756-1820), whom he employed as his housekeeper while stationed in Boston in 1775. Knowing she had previously experienced sexual harrassment, he initially kept his feelings to himself out of respect for her needs. The two eventually became a couple following a one-year separation, shipwreck, and the birth of her son John by her rakish husband. Clinton treated John like a child of his own, and even had wanted to be present for the birth, which an order to march south mere weeks before the likely due date however prevented. John named some of his own children after his quasi-step-siblings from Clinton's marriage to his wife Harriot (d. 1772) and in time also became a loving father and husband to a large family.

litany against the GOTification of history.
