Maryland's Mallows Bay, is a designated national marine sanctuary, has an intriguing history. This 18-square-mile park is filled with the remains of over 100 wooden, flat-bottom ships from World War I, making it the largest ship graveyard in the Western Hemisphere. Today, it is a wildlife oasis.
I did the usual "hmm, is this real, tell me more" about this and found the Mallows Bay Shipwreck Water Trail site, which has photos, videos, and also 3D models of the shipwrecks! Super cool.
[Image description: Three images of shipwrecks in murky green water. In the top image, three ships are nestled together, all covered in plants. In the middle image, the outline of a ship and some structures on it are visible as dark lines through the water. In the last image, there are many ships together, their outlines more visible in some areas than others.]
test weaving of penelope's tapestry on the chiusi skyphos:
reference:
there are some adjustments I need to make for tension, but I'd like to make the next version into a header band for a warp-weighted loom so I can try weaving the whole pot, including telemachus and penelope.
the proportions on the header band have improved, but I think I maybe should have doubled the weft threads for the warp.
also if anyone wants to knit the heddles for me, please be my guest. the last time I tied on heddles, I put the bar in the wrong place and had to redo the whole thing.
in true penelope fashion, I may need to unweave and start over, but at least now I've got the loom weights and heddles in place.
I started weaving the spear, penelope, and the right border via double-weave with the intent to leave the remaining warp threads unwoven (as they would be on penelope's loom on the pot), but predictably this is giving me tension problems. I either need to increase the loom weights or just weave the black layer and leave the orange warp threads unwoven, and then switch colors once I get to the heddle bars in the drawing, with the black warp threads floating on top. (I guess weft-faced tapestry would be a third option, if I add a ton more tension.)
either way, this is going to take me the full three years of penelope's stratagem, or perhaps the entire twenty years of odysseus's absence, primarily because clearing the sheds takes a monumental effort each time with this double-weave setup (which I'm not even sure is how it's supposed to be done, I kind of set it up based on vibes and what I thought made sense from floor loom setups).
i’m going to be really honest with you guys i think the tendency to read the absolute worst possible intentions into every action you don’t agree with is getting too automatic and it’s eating you from the inside out
The first time, she says "To me," and the mirror dutifully shows her her reflection. And she is pleased.
The second time, she says "To the King," and she is pleased to see herself once more.
The third time, she says "To the Royal Advisor," and is once more satisfied to see herself.
The fourth time, she says "To the scribe who takes the King's letters." She is shown the man's wife. And she seethes, but quiets herself, for it is only right that a man loves his wife.
The fifth time, she says "To the Court Wizard," and is shown the man's departed mother as he remembers her from his youth, radiant and smiling and warm and larger than life.
The tenth time, she says "To the Stable Master," and is shown the fastest horse in the stable, majestic and free as the wind even in captivity
"To the baker," she is shown the man's daughter, young and adorable and full of joy and laughter.
"To the artist who did my portrait," she is shown a painting of a woman done by the man's teacher, who he still looks up to now that he is well established himself.
"To the Royal Knight," she is surprised but not displeased to see the castle's entire guard force in the middle of doing drills.
The one hundredth time she asks the mirror, and it asks her "to whom?" she once again says, "To me." And she does the same the one hundred and second, and again and again and again.
It is a different person each time, and they are all beautiful.

i want to do a painting of a tiger taking a bath to put in a bathroom (bathroom-themed bathroom) and to this end i made a little maquette out of clay and i suspect this will scope creep into having both a painting and sculpture of a tiger or perhaps only a sculpture of a tiger. if i do both should they be displayed together or separately
Working on cutting out a large piece of wood to do the painting on, which is a constraint that will either be really fun or really annoying. Maybe both
Wood primed and underpainted and sketch transferred mostly by cutting it out in different chunks and tracing around them. Stripes to be determined. Nobody let me work on this again for at least two weeks
the evil sorceress told me she could conjure my ideal woman to wife and i said nay, a princess’ love can’t be won with such trickery. she said it was a test and that i truly am pure of heart. but i just didnt know how id explain why she conjured a copy of herself
I stole glances at the maid in the corner. She stood eerily still, but her arms moved almost robotically back and forth with a broom. I must have stared too long, because I heard the clink of silverware being put down with force.
“Is dinner to your tastes tonight, princess?”
I turned to face the head maid. it was smiling but, like always, it never reached its eyes. I quickly crossed my arms and put on a pout.
“Hmph! I thought I asked that candy be served as every meal! Candy is the most important part of a princess’ diet!”
It held a hand up to its mouth to giggle. Good.
“Don’t be silly, princess! I believe I’ve already taught you the ideal diet for a human!”
Remaining dinner was shared in silence. I was conscious to exhibit the manners it taught me. If the plan was going to succeed I couldn’t slip up anymore.
Lying in my lavish bed, the head maid closed the storybook. It placed its hand on my cheek for a moment, before turning the lamp off. I kept my eyes closed and my breathing steady. I listened to its heels click as it walked across the room to the chair next to the window and sat down. This will be the hardest part.
One hour.
Two hours.
Three hours.
Finally. Finally I heard it move again, listening for the door to open and shut softly. I waited a few minutes more before gently moving off the bed, my small frame making no sound as my feet hit the floor. As I crept toward the exit, I glanced at myself in a large ornate mirror. A small, youthful body looked back at me. I was starting to forget what I looked like before.
The hallways were cold at night, and deathly silent. As I crept past the dining hall I could hear it again, the soft pat of bristles on tile. Her arms tensed slightly upon my approach. I stared at the maid, in the same exact spot she was at dinner. After a moment, I reached slowly for the broom in her hands. She stopped abruptly and started trembling, a soft voice breaking the silence.
“Don’t… Please. Just stop.”
I obliged, as I didn’t have time for this anyway.
I worked my way through the snaking corridors. I had this layout memorized. The head maid grows complacent sometimes, and I’ve learned to spot the signs of a reused floor plan.
There it is. The door. It’s grand and heavy looking, made of a dark wood and thrice my size. I take one last look around before reaching up on my toes for the handle. It groans open slowly, and a familiar smell hits my nostrils. On the other side are my chambers, just as I had left them a few moments ago. Before I have time to be confused, a hand touches my shoulder gently.
Damn. It got me.
“Now now, princess, whatever could you be doing out of bed so late?”
I swallow hard, straightening my back and turning to pout at it.
“Hmph, impudent maid, one of these days I’ll find where you’re hiding the candy from me!”

Museums
International framework sets out five core principles
The updated global framework sets out shared ethical principles to help museums protect cultural heritage, strengthen public trust, manage collections responsibly, and serve society.
The code is structured around five core principles:
Society: Museums serve society.
Professionalism: Museums operate and communicate with professional expertise, knowledge and standards.
Education: Museums offer diverse experiences for knowledge-sharing and reflection.
Collections: Museums research, collect and conserve.
Governance: Museums are not-for-profit, permanent institutions.
Palestinian exhibit at human rights museum 'should be rectified': federal heritage minister
Heritage Minister Marc Miller said Monday the Canadian Museum for Human Rights in Winnipeg has erred in how it curated an exhibit about displaced Palestinians.
The federal cabinet minister said in an interview with The Canadian Press on Monday that the museum should change how it portrays the current conflict between Israel and Palestinians and update the museum's oversight.The exhibit, which opened to the public Saturday, focuses on the Nakba — the forcible displacement of about 750,000 Palestinians from the region during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war. Nakba is Arabic for catastrophe.
One of the exhibit's panels discussing Israel's military occupation of Gaza says that after "the Hamas attack that killed about 1,200 people on Oct. 7, 2023, Israel launched a large-scale military campaign in Gaza.
"The museum says it has referred to the Oct. 7 attack as a terrorist attack "on numerous occasions" and there is no doubt the intent of the attack was to murder Jews, a spokesperson told CBC News in a written statement on Monday.
The museum's research has shown people of other nationalities and religious identities were also murdered by Hamas during the attack, which "informed the use of the word 'people' in our exhibit text," the spokesperson said.
The museum's CEO told The Canadian Press earlier this month that many exhibits are meant to tell one community's story and raise awareness, instead of telling a comprehensive story about multi-faceted events.

As America turns 250, museums and parks fight to preserve the country’s troubled history
As the United States marks its 250th anniversary, the debate over historical inclusion has become part of a larger national argument over how the country should tell its story: as a celebration of founding ideals and national achievement or a more nuanced reflection that includes slavery, Indigenous dispossession, immigration, exclusion and the struggles of marginalized groups to secure the rights promised in the nation's founding documents.

Odds and ends
Archaeologist Stephen Loring, whose work is being disputed by the provincial government, says archaeology is “wildly political” and can be m
A veteran archaeologist whose work is being disputed by Newfoundland and Labrador’s Provincial Archaeology Office is speaking out about what Innu say is an effort by the provincial government to erase their history.
Stephen Loring, an arctic archaeology and museum anthropologist with the Smithsonian’s Arctic Studies Centre in Washington, says it’s “convenient” for the province to claim that the Indigenous People who lived in Labrador prior to European contact disappeared or went extinct, rather than acknowledging the archaeological evidence and oral history linking Innu to the territory for 8,000 years.
Loring says the province’s position that Innu have only been in the Labrador portion of Nitassinan, the Innu homeland, for around 300 years appears to be an attempt to disenfranchise Innu from their history and culture so the government can weaken the Innu’s position in their land claim negotiations and in their right to participate in future land-use and economic development in the province.
Research on Innu history in Labrador 'demolishes' government's 300-year argument, says MUN archaeologist

Peter Whitridge, an archaeology professor at Memorial University, is one of the eight social scientists who penned a letter to the provincial government this week in support of the Innu Nation, who maintain their history spans thousands of years.
