you can tell this website is autistic as hell because someone posts a video with a mildly catchy phrase in it and no one shuts up about it for an extended period of time. or image even. image with a mildly catchy phrase in it even. we love phrases here on tumblr dot com love to repeat them. due to the autism

Thinkin about that one whaler who complained about his shipmates in his journal being like ‘no one on this ship reads educational books, no one reads the bible, everyone only wants pencils so they can draw ships and obscene pictures’ and I’m just like…..where are they….where are the dirty drawings this fellow was complaining about…I wanna see some 19th century whaler’s amateur pornographic scribbles so bad WHERE ARE THEY?

[focsle]

Idk why this particular one has gotten so many notes, but here’s the fellow’s actual words. His name was Jon Langdon, and he signed aboard the bark St. Peter in 1849 at age 21.

[…] topgallantsails. The weather is very pleasant To day is spent like every other sunday in eating and sleeping angry words and a dial of swearing &c. Interesting and instructive books are seldom found in their hands and the perusal of the sacred pages of the Bible is beneath their notice altogether but the slate and pencil are in great demand for drawing Ships obscene pictures &c &c. Took in fore topgallantsail at 2pm.”

[focsle]

Another fellow from another voyage aboard the whaler Saratoga, William Chappell, also complains about his shipmates’ taste in literature. 1853.

“[it grieves me] to see how wreckless and indifferent my shipmates are to this great subject It is painfull to see how dilligent they are in reading the trashy novel to the neglect of the bible”

What trashy novels are you reading lads I wanna know.

[kingfucko]

did you say you wanted to see the victorian whalers' porn? ok

[marzipanandminutiae]

(the porn from the first letter has not survived because "slate and pencil" means "[small portable] chalkboard and chalk.")

(the porn in the extant examples has survived because it's scrimshaw which means someone went to the trouble of etching porn into a whale's tooth and then meticulously inking it)

you all hate the position i sleep in because you haven’t advanced to my level and you’re jealous of my mental acuity and caustic wit as well as being extremely good at sleeping

i ended up liking how gendered french is solely because i can say that i want people to use he/him pronouns for me the same way they use it for angels, blood and blunts

[tamsylum]

i asked a trans friend to give me her fem version of this and she said that people should use she/her with her the same way they use it for the sea, flesh and stuffed toys

[samwisegamgeeee]

I don’t speak French but I speak Spanish and I’m nonbinary so the whole gendered language thing is… difficult. I couldn’t get this post out of my head and so I wrote a poem. It's a first draft but i just had to get it out there

It’s called “Masculino como el amor, femenino como la espada”

Si tienes que usar el masculino conmigo, usa el masculino cómo lo usas para el azúcar para el lobo el amor y el mar. Pero si tienes que usar el femenino, úsalo cómo lo usas para la tierra para la anaconda la guerra y la mar. Llámame masculino cómo el día cómo el melocotón el pecho y la cometa. O, llámame femenino cómo la noche cómo la piedra la leche y la mano. Masculino cómo el viento, femenino cómo la tormenta. El hueso, la sangre. El mito, la magia. El sol, la luna. Si tienes que usar el masculino conmigo, o si tienes que usar el femenino, llámame femenino con la boca y la lengua o llámame masculino con los dientes y los pulmones. O si puedes llámame por mi nombre. Llámame yo.

Translation: Masculine like love, feminine like the sword

If you have to use the masculine for me, use the masculine like you use it for sugar for the wolf love and the sea. But if you have to use the feminine, use it like you use it for earth for the anaconda war and the sea. Call me masculine like the day like the peach the chest and the comet. Or, call me feminine like the night like the stone the milk and the hand. Masculine like the wind, feminine like the storm. The bone, the blood. The myth, the magic. The sun, the moon. If you have to use the masculine for me, or if you have to use the feminine, call me feminine with your mouth and your tongue or call me masculine with your teeth and your lungs. Or if you can call me by my name. Call me myself.

no one speak to me this poem cut me open

[cahootings]

“their relationship is too deep to be sexual” what’s deeper than dick in hole. please tell me

[cahootings]

a really good point but considering any stabbing is a thinly veiled penetration metaphor dick in hole prevails

[cahootings]

this post was a joke but I love the direction we’re going

please for the love of god look at this ceramic i found at the thrift store

[skylerwitherspoon]

a couple months ago I saw this post reposted on Instagram, and sent it to my then fiancé, who joked about making these for our wedding favors. I was like "i am absolutely not joking, I would do that." (I was stressed about what to do for favors and was open to anything)

......so, we did. he found a fish he could 3d print, he edited it to have the words, and we printed and spray painted and tied string to 80 of these

....so anyway thanks @bulletsgirl because that was a weird fun part of my wedding and it also made the favors low-pressure in a way (because we knew a lot of people wouldn't want them even if they were perfect sjfkgk)

[librarycard]

this is legitimately the most heartwarming wonderful beautiful hilarious thing ive ever seen in my life. i wish you both so much joy

@1kittynoir1 replied to your post:

What did it get used for? 👀

It's not done yet, but it's the facing, collar, and cuffs for the patchwork dressing gown I'm working on! It was less than half a metre of silk/rayon velvet that I dyed in college because the sample we did of that colour was so nice I wanted a bigger piece. (It was PRO MX fibre reactive dye in the colour Marine, and I don't have my dye sample book with me right now but I think it was at 4%. It shows up more green on some fibres and more blue on others, but is always gorgeous.)

I had no specific plans for it at the time, but eventually the perfect project came along, and there was just enough!

I've been working on this thing (intermittently, in short busts) for a few years now, and am finally done the patchwork and on to the construction. I've posted occasional updates on @vincentbriggs and will post photos there when I'm done.

I've also been filming the whole process, so I'll have a video about it up on my youtube channel eventually, but that'll be a while after it's finished because I have so so so many clips and it's going to take a horrifyingly large amount of editing.

It's based on this c. 1835 original, which is a good 50-100 years later than what I usually sew, but I like it and I wanted one.

If anyone's wondering how many triangles mine has, it's 6,957.

Since I've got the time consuming part out of the way I'm hoping I can get the construction done before winter officially ends.

Edit: Why does everyone think I had a bad time working on the triangles?? I loved working on them, it was so satisfying to put lots of little bits of colour together. The reason I worked on it intermittently is because I could not put it down once I got working on it, and would work on it all day for several days straight until I was very tired and sore, and then I had to put it away to stop myself, and then I'd forget about it for a few months.

Also, they're machine sewn. Most of the actual garment construction will be by hand, but the patchwork is all by machine.

[pterribledinosaurdrawings]

Haha! Hoohoo! I saved this very heavy short section of cardboard tube that came in a thrift store bag with some fabric wrapped around it, and it just happened to be the perfect thing to stop this office chair from sinking. (following this tutorial.)

Also I finished my dressing gown this morning, but haven't got any photos of it on me yet.

[pterribledinosaurdrawings]

#op have you. considered an adhd diagnosis

I have actually asked about one, but all the options were super expensive, alas. but fortunately everything that's ever been wrong with me will be magically cured as soon as I finish moving and have an actual sewing room that's separate from my bedroom.

Now I shall re-add the finished pictures, since this version of the post doesn't have them!
