Hey, guys! The second page of Chapter 2 is up on Hiveworks. This little comic is still getting on its feet, just wobbling around on shaky baby deer (goat?) legs, so any likes and reblogs you can spare will go a long way toward Bybloemen finding its audience!
She also has an Etsy shop where she sells beautiful prints of minimal marine art. Her pieces depict the unique scale patterns of different sharks and include information on each shark type with every order.
Melissa’s Twitter said she is using the proceeds to study in Antarctica!
Shoutout to the teenage white boy who cruised by the museum today on a skateboard, stopped in the middle of the street to listen too my coworker playing the fife, yelled “YO LEMME HEAR DAT FLUTE MAN. HIT IT BITCH” and then zoomed away never to be seen again
This reminds me of an encounter I had at Fort Nisqually (an 1840s-era living history museum). As I was leaving a costumed volunteer docent was heading in, and these two dudebros drove by (shutter shades, spiked hair, tank tops, muscle car, blasting music, the whole bro shebang) and one yelled to the other, over the pounding bass, “HOLY SHIT DUDE LOOK, A FUCKING PILGRIM!!!” and the other yelled back “A FUCKIN PILGRIM MAAAAAAAN,” and then they were gone
World’s Most Predictable Woman‘s audiobook library
aw jeeze, @seriesfive, good eye- that is, in fact, a typo. I was transcribing the quote from the audiobook rather than a print source, it was indistinctly pronounced, and I apparently didn’t question it. (This post is five years old now, so I… I assume that’s how that happened, anyway). It definitely should be “ascetic.”
USS Jeannette Polar Expedition Logbooks Transcribe-a-thon
On July 8, 1879, the USS Jeannette set sail from San Francisco in a daring attempt to reach the North Pole. Just two months after setting sail, the Jeannette became trapped by ice and drifted for almost two years before being crushed by ice floes and sinking north of the Siberian coast. Miraculously, its four logbooks, which contain meteorological conditions, instrument readings, and sightings of ice floes and auroras, survived.
Help us transcribe the logbooks on August 23 from 10 am to 12 pm. Join us in person or online! A subject expert will give a brief presentation, and a National Archives staff member will provide guidance on submitting your transcriptions to our citizen archivist dashboard. Learn more about how to participate in the transcribe-a-thon.
In the past two weeks I have watched The Terror, Hornblower, Master and Commander, and started rereading Temeraire. In honor of this hole that I have fallen into, I’ve made a drinking game:
Drink every time:
– There is a long shot of a ship that slowly zooms out
– Someone gets flogged
– Something terribly nautical and fascinating happens (drink twice if you have no idea what part of the ship that word refers to)
– Something homoerotic happens
– Someone drinks grog and/or gets their grog ration cut
– Someone British insists on following tradition when it is impractical, irrational, irrelevant, or outright dangerous
– Two men have an intensely emotional heart to heart while standing at attention and calling each other “Sir”
– Two men engage scathing insults by standing at attention and calling each other “Sir”
– You realize that serving in the British Navy in the 19th century was actually horrifying and pretty awful
