FATHER FLYNN MEMORIAL AT PASSAGE WEST IN CORK

Such was his reputation for curing speech impediments that the BBC producer Hywel Davis made a half-hour documentary based on his life

HE HAD A REPUTATION FOR CURING SPEECH IMPEDIMENTS It has taken me many years to establish the story behind this memorial which has 1881-1961 on the base instead of 1881-1962. Such was his reputation for curing speech impediments that the BBC producer Hywel Davis made a half-hour documentary based on his life entitled ‘It happened to me’, broadcast in June 1961. As a result, O’Flynn received…

The Water Outlaws by S. L. Huang

Mountain outlaws on the margins of society, the Bandits of Liangshan proclaim a belief in justice—for women, for the downtrodden, for progressive thinkers a corrupt Empire would imprison or destroy. They’re also murderers, thieves, smugglers, and cutthroats. Together, they could bring down an empire. 

Now available in paperback!

Somewhere Beyond the Sea by TJ Klune

The long-awaited sequel to The House in the Cerulean Sea is a story of resistance, lovingly told, about the daunting experience of fighting for the life you want to live and doing the work to keep it. Welcome back to Marsyas Island—home to six magical and purportedly dangerous children. This is Arthur’s story.

The West Passage by @jpechacek

When the Guardian of the West Passage dies in her bed, the women of Grey Tower feed her to the crows and go back to their chores. No successor is named, and no hand takes up the fallen blade, so the West Passage—the ancient byways of the beast—goes unguarded. This is a weird and delightful journey across a deliriously medieval landscape where decay thrives in abundance and giant Ladies rule a palace the size of a city. 

Blood Debts by Terry J. Benton-Walker

On the thirtieth anniversary of the largest magical massacre in New Orleans history, Clement and Cristina Trudeau mourn their father and care for their sick mother. But their mother isn’t sick, they learn: She’s cursed. Cursed by a member of the same magic council over which she used to preside. Cursed by someone who will come for Clement and Cristina next. 

Now available in paperback!

Bury Your Gays by @drchucktingle

After so many years, Misha’s big Oscar moment is here. All he has to do? Kill off the gay characters in his long-running streaming series, “for the algorithm.” Misha refuses, but that’s hardly the end, because monsters from his old horror movie days have begun to step out from the silver screen and stalk him. 

The Brides of High Hill by Nghi Vo

The Cleric Chih accompanies a young bride to her wedding to Lord Guo, the aging ruler of a crumbling estate, but amid the elaborate courtesies and extravagant banquets, they realize something haunts the shadowed halls. As the big night nears close, Chih will learn that not all monsters dwell in shadows; some hide in plain sight. 

Remedial Magic by Melissa Marr

1) An unassuming librarian falls in love with a powerful witch. 

2) Previous librarian discovers she too is a witch…

3) …and that she must attend magical community college to learn how to save her new world from annihilation. 

Swordcrossed by @fahye

Part-time con artist / full-time charming menace Luca Piere didn’t expect to get blackmailed into teaching a chronically responsible merchant Matti how to wield a sword. He also didn’t expect to find his charge so inconveniently handsome, or to get so entangled in his tale of intrigue, sabotage, and matrimony. 

It’s important to read Swordcrossed because while you’re reading gay fiction, you can also study the blade.

Day 22 - Nuh-uh! That's not a TV!

#My art #Requestober #The Property of Hate #TPoH #Hero #RGB #You're all good anon! :D #As a quick reminder/rundown - slots are open either until they're filled with requests or the day passes without a request #So there's a limited number of slots just through the passage of time >:3c #And I almost called this one on a technicality since I've drawn RGeeBs bunches but didn't remember drawing his human form - #But then I went and looked and no yeah I totally did once lol silly me! It's been a bit but that counts! :D #I actually haven't been caught up in a while so excuse if their designs look on the older side lol #I mostly went based on the one from last year - I'll catch up again after a while :) #They are both still quite fun to draw haha ♪ Hero's got such a cute and sweet design even with all the replacements! #And while I love RGB's TV head he's quite handsome as a human - and his proportions are still the same! #Funnest legs to draw in the West (lol) #Forced to be a bit on the vulnerable side! Crouching down for her to inspect and hunched on in himself hehe #Be subjected to scrutiny! Turned this way and that! Gotta get used to your sounds coming out of this ''new'' face hehe #Cute lads <3

the scene where the cooks of erebus and terror argue about whether to add more salt to the [rotting, lead-poisoned] tins is genuinely one of my favourites in the whole show btw

#bcs it’s RIGHT before the epic franklin-crozier argument. #you can do soooooo much w the almost perfectly parallel hierarchies of the ships’ crews #(almost because There’s A Spare Captain On Erebus!) #also a cook is kind of like a captain. to me. or sacred king adjacent at least #i have watched Most of black sails. commensality would be a beautiful name for ship sent to discover the north west passage #mr diggle you will always be famous to ME! #terrorposting #beeps

Maybe it's because I'm currently reading The Brothers Karamazov, maybe it's because I'm looking forward to Passages and enjoying all the Heartstopper content, maybe it's because I'm constantly thinking about how hot Colin Morgan is... but these three really need to play brothers in a West End play.

The power of the cheekbones alone would destroy me.

All Hail West Texas in conversation with Northwest Passage:

A vast and beautiful landscape stained by colonialism and the miracle of human connection that covers it.

Desperately clinging to a marriage like a bending branch.

Escape and the mirage of independence.

A guy is arrested for a desperate choice.

Um. Oil.

About two thousand years later people in what is now China – where potential domesticates were also plentiful, though not so plentiful as in the Hilly Flanks – moved the same way; from them descend the societies of the East.

"A rising tide lifts all the boats," said President John F. Kennedy. Never was this truer than between 1500 and 1800, when for three centuries Eastern and Western social development both floated upward (Figure 9.1).

Davey tries to keep his head down the next day at school. He’s become unused to making himself small – truly, the newsies have spoiled him. But he’s re-learning, albeit slowly, the many ways in which he clung to corners and shadows, all the ways he kept his eyes down and his feet forward, all the little tricks he used to turn his body into simply a thing that moved him, rather than a person of any kind. It’s not as easy as it used to be – it feels a bit uncomfortable, turning himself into a ghost when he’s spent so long being alive. He doesn’t just mean the strike, incredible as it was; just existing with the newsies, with Jack, it felt like a piece of him that had been left neglected all his life had suddenly flourished, tasting sunlight and being invited to grow. Davey, he has learned, is loud. He likes being loud. He likes yelling over the newsies to ‘shut ya dumb asses up, the one with a brain is talking!’, and he likes making his weird jokes and laughing at theirs, laughing with his whole body, and he loves ranting about Swift and Diogenes and King Lear without having anyone tell him, ‘Davey, no one cares.’.

It's a shame, to run gracelessly into existence, only to crawl your way back to the empty cracks and crevices no one cares to look in. But Davey’s done it before - he’ll be ok. And besides, he’ll be able to exist again later. Loud and shameless and loving every bit of it. He can get used to that, to living in sips, as long as he gets to taste something.

He makes it through the school day easily enough. The boys on his side of the classroom don’t pay him any heed – he has his shoulders tucked up to his ears, eyes pointed squarely at the ground, everything about him small and unthreatening, just the way it used to be.

(He feels dirty, doing this again. Or – perhaps not dirty, but… Dusty. That unnoticeable kind of grime, ever present and ever ignored.

God, Davey realizes. This used to be his life.)

Razor from Franklin expedition, England, 1800-1845. This retractable blade razor is a relic of a doomed Arctic expedition. It was found in the North West Territories of Canada. In 1845, Sir John Franklin (1786-1847) embarked on his third arctic expedition to discover the North West passage. This fabled sea route lay between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, and discovering a navigable passage would give Britain supremacy over trade moving between these oceans. A whaling crew spotted Franklin’s two ships, the HMS Terror and Erebus, off Canada on 26 July 1845. They were then never seen by Europeans again. Over the next 150 years, researchers and historians have pieced together the expedition’s movements. They have achieved this through the discovery of a number of corpses and relics such as this. The expedition ended with the loss of all 129 members. It appears to have met incredible hardship, including disease, poisoning and, ultimately, cannibalism. Investigations among the local Inuit people suggested some of the expedition team, desperate to escape, were still alive as late as 1850. This iron razor was bought in 1919 with six other artifacts reputedly from the Franklin expedition.
