A Story Is True, A Story Is Untrue… @odysseusilver - Tumblr Blog

although i largely love terror/polar exploration fandom and think it's significantly more sensitive and thoughtful than most historically fixated spaces, there is also an undercurrent of subconscious racism and uncritical buy-in to the great man theory + belief that white men's stories no matter how relatively mundane/unremarkable are the center of everything. but then everyone thinks you're crazy for noticing it

#very true #at the same time people also always try to bring this up (which is good!!!) but literally add nothing new to the conversation OR #just don’t educate themselves and it ends up just being the same repetitive posts of #oh we should listen to native peoples and understand that the fandom is mostly white and in turn has some racism issues #and then people proceed to not listen to native fans #or adress their underlying racist or exclusionary beliefs/viewpoints #it’s a doozy if you can’t tell #the terror

#he is CORRECT but also I’m annoyed by the poor research #like no Fitzjames did NOT have polar experience and the victory point note was NOT the only written record #there were more inaccuracies but those were the two main ones I remember off the top of my head #I did enjoy the Jacko bits though #the terror #watcher

I perceived its effects on you. What I assumed was sorrow, loneliness. And worst of all terror at the thing you were becoming. There is an element of this journey in the dark that... I'm only now beginning to appreciate. What's that? How good it feels.

Dave K has a few more playlists for us this winter! Here's the first one:

And here is the caption he shared to go along with it:

I wasn't expecting this particular band to feature so prominently in any of our characters' lists. (I had to do a deep dive for my own education, which I ended up digging a lot more than I expected.) It's just that as a story for Modern Tommy came together in my head, it featured a central tragedy, and it occured to me that one way to be close to the parents we've lost is by following the trail of breadcrumbs left in our memories of what was playing on the stereo when we were growing up. Our Tommy didn't sell the vinyl when he cleared out his folks' house. He took it all home.

#DAVECHELLA PART TWO OH MY GOD????#AND MY BOY TOMMY???? OH DAK I LOVE YOU #Also the fact that this is the same time last year the tozer playlist dropped #AND they both have hey Joe on their playlists…#dak I see what you’ve done #but also WHAT DO YOU MEAN CENTRAL TRAGEDY #this has literally made my year istg #davechella #the terror

Remains of the Terra Nova Expedition copper etching, 8” x 10”. Including excerpts from Apsley Cherry Garrard’s book.

Part of my series of prints on historic polar exploration.

polaresque

am I reading this right. cherry wrote little notes to cheer his friends up on their way back from the pole, and then ended up finding them again himself while searching wilson's dead body?? christ

#I’m going to fucking walk off the edge of the ice barrier #OWWWWWWWWWWW #why do all these fucked up things happen to cherry #I feel so bad for him my god #apsley cherry-garrard
