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.

Hey have you read either of these whaling journals? And if so, what did you think of them? Someone I know got em for me at one of the bookshops on Nantucket recently & I’ve not started reading them yet so I don’t have any thoughts on the content, but they seemed like something you might be interested in so I thought I’d ask if you’d read them

Ooh I haven’t! The first is a bit early for me, but I trust anything touched by the Philbricks. Def eyeing that second one cos not only is it right in my window of historical interest, but written by a greenhand no less, who tend to be my favorite journal keepers. I’ll have to track that one down for myself!

Even though I haven’t read them I imagine they’re probably very interesting compared to the average whaling log, if someone went through the effort of transcribing them and publishing them.

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

[khismael]

A feeling weighed down with pain, my little one, when I see the misery in your beautiful eyes 🥺. No shelter to warm your tiny body, as the tent 🎪 is a torment only those who have experienced it can understand. I see you playing with sand, your only toy ❤️‍🩹. The war has left us no choices to make. War 🍉🇵🇸 is cruel, my tired little princess 💔😞.

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.

Tagging for reach under the cut.

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.

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.

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 🙄

Last song I listened to - “Son of a Preacher Man” by Dusty Springfield (i know. i know)

Currently reading - for school/work I’ve been being subjected to brazilian naturalist novels (o cortiço, bom-crioulo, etc.) and for fun i’m rereading the name of the rose :)

Currently watching - not really currently but i watched mixte w my aunt and it was really nice! shame we won’t get a second season tho :(

Currently obsessed with - drawing parallels between álvares and saint-just……….. recreationally. also just second gen brazilian romantic poetry in general.

[acrossthewavesoftime]

Thank you for the tag, dear @nordleuchten!

Last book I read: A book about the historic development of the shapes of glassware.

Book I recommend: That is strongly dependent on the person asking for a recommendation.

Book I couldn’t put down: There were several throughout the years, but perhaps the most formative for me was Tintenherz (Inkheart) by Cornelia Funke.

A book on my TBR: A recent release on medieval art. I am very much looking forward to it.

A book I’ve put down: I put down Twilight back in its heyday, and as a teenager, I wished that I could just put down some mandatory reads for different classes (the modern American novel, perhaps due to my teacher's picks and the fact that those were presented to us German high schoolers with little to no context on the socio-political backdrop of the plot, never grew on me), but then read them anyways because I wanted good grades.

A book on my wishlist: Technically not a book in the sense that it has never been published, but I would like to get my hands on the manuscript of Samuel Graves' memoirs, which he appears to have written with the intention of publishing them following his return from the North American Station in 1776, now safely tucked away in an archive. One day, hopefully...!

A book you would give to a friend: Again, that would depend on the friend and their interests and/or current state of mind. If it were a specific friend, I would gift @marquisevonobst Marjorie Bowen's William of Orange-trilogy, first edition, of course.

A book of poetry/lyrics you own: W. B. Yeats. Selected Poems. An unpleasant man from what there is to know about him with a very interesting oevre, to be sure, but The Wild Swans at Coole and The Lake Isle of Innisfree will never not touch me.

A non-fiction book you own: Jörg Lahme: William Drennan und der Kampf um die irische Unabhängigkeit (William Drennan and the Fight for Irish Independence)

Currently reading: For Reasons that Be, I don't get around to read much presently, and am thus reverting to passages from old favourites. Soon, however, I shall be able devour books again.

Planning on reading next: See, I found this odd, wild silk-bound volume of French plays with erotic subtexts from the 18th century a few months ago at the used book shop of my trust - for the princely sum of 3 whole, entire Euros. I had to have it and am curious as to its contents.

If you feel so inclined, @marquisevonobst, @my-deer-friend, @werewolfetone, @chiropteracupola, feel free to join in!
