I posted this to my main already but would you believe me if I told you that this was THEE final page of a book entitled "rum, sodomy, and the lash: piracy, sexuality, and the masculine identity"?
Because it is. No conclusion, no attempts to tie it back to anything resembling the thesis, just this and then the footnotes and bibliography.

In the vein of my last post ...
would you be interested in me posting more of my non-medieval research adventures?
yes
no
I haven't posted my research here as much lately because I've been deep in a rabbit hole of researching the 18th century and the age of sail for one piece fic but I do have to share this absolutely baffling assertion that there were no homosexual interactions in the 18th century navy because it was illegal
And he also seems to be arguing that because historical accounts were full of apocrypha and rumors, they should be considered fictional which is like you're SOOOO close to grasping that there is no capital t True History because it's inherently biased by way of being written by the prevailing social order but that doesn't mean we should think that any historical document regarding real life piracy is fictionalized 😭

I just found this image and words cannot describe how much I love it. I don’t know where it’s from, but it looks like he’s having a jolly time
Chansonnier de Zeghere van Male, a flemish 16th Century Songbook, here the letter M. This large songbook from 1542 is celebrated as much for its bizarre illuminated capitals as for its record of late medieval music.
to raise money, Wikipedia should do that thing CNN did where they sold shirts with headlines on them. I would kill for a shirt that had the article title and Wikipedia layout for Homosexuality in Medieval Europe
