Very with you on the haunted object as a story! I'm a sucker for big or small "creature" monsters.

Really interesting find! When I was at Poplar Forest in VA there was a massive rats nest on display which was a source of some of the house's original 18th/19th century textiles.

Great interview! Jamelle B always has a thoughtful perspective. (I appreciated the Dune reference)

In sincerity I did log on for a reason. A new issue of the Journal of Medieval and Early Modern Studies is out, edited by colleague/friend Marcel Elias. It's about how to do postcolonial medieval studies bigger and better. You'll like it. (I'm in there). Go read.

It's Friday! Let's end the week with a map & some eels!

Here is John Speed's 1611 map, "The Kingdome of Great Britaine and Ireland." There are Dutch eel ships on this map. Can you find them? (the answer is at the end of the thread)

Wait, you ask...WTF is an eel ship? 1/5
🗃️🧪
A map of of England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland. It is quite busy with roads, and towns, and counties. There are monsters in the sea, and several ships. There are 2 large insets, one showing the a view of the city of London and one showing the city of Edinburgh. There is a smaller inset above the Edinburgh one showing the northern tip of Scotland and the Orkneys. Above the inset for London is the coat of arms for the Order of the Garter, with a lion and unicorn. The arms have the order's motto around them: "honi soit qui mal y pense" (shame on him that thinks ill of it), and below it the popular Puritan phrase, "Semper Idem" (always the same). It is a very detailed and pretty map. "Always the same" and "shame on him that thinks ill of it" is strident rejection of the Growth Mindset ideology, and I am here for it.

I need you to read this thread to understand why so many historians are revolted by this regime's crimes against the past

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

#Miniatures #miniatures Two mounted 25mm cavalry (likely from Mega Miniatures in the early 2000’s). Fun to paint and a nice addition to a late medieval historic or fantasy command stand.

Thinking about this today for no particular reason. I think it’s possible that differences in the secret service coverage could be because they were different threats? Hinkley was very close, with a handgun while the Butler PA shooter was far away, Reagan was seriously injured so def no fist pump
