"Sodomy and the pirate tradition" (B. R. Burg, 1983)
Short intermission from fanart: I recently learned that there is a 1983 book called "Sodomy and the pirate tradition" and it got fucking Blackbeard on the cover 🤣🤣🤣
Just wanted everyone to know about that.
The author is still alive and seems very cool. His attitude on the back cover was basically:
I'm not saying all pirates are gay and I'm definitely not trying to argue the obvious and indisputable fact that they had tons of gay sex.
I want to look at what homosexuality being okay and even encouraged meant for pirate society.
When I posted this on Reddit a month ago I was informed that he is still very much alive and super excited about OFMD, hadn't watched it yet though because he's hard of hearing and wasn't sure how to at the time the commenter talked to him which is both heart-warming and heart-breaking. 🥺
I hope he's figured it out by now.
(I was able to get a free ebook version through a university library BTW. Haven't gotten around to reading it yet though)

never make a suicide joke again. yes this includes “i wanna die” as a figure of speech. swear off of it. actually make an effort to change how you think about things.
find something to compliment someone for at least 4 times a day. notice the little things about the world that make you happy, and use that to make other people happy.
talk to people. initiate conversation as often as you possibly can. keep your mind busy and you wont have to worry anymore
picture the bad intrusive thoughts in youe head as an edgy 13 year old and tell them to go be emo somewhere else
if someone makes you feel bad most of the time, stop talking to them. making yourself hang out with people who drain you is self harm. stop it.
