I love memetic communication when it gets to the point of being incomprehensible because can you imagine showing someone this picture
And asking them what Greek god it represents

Inspired by @focsle ‘s Whalin Lad Generator (perchance link here), I made a Dubiously 18th/19th Century Royal Navy Sailor generator, inspired by Master and Commander/the Aubreyad, The Terror and other Age of Sail stuff!

Every time we open a box here in the store, it reveals some kind of treasure. Today’s treasure is a map!
This is an embroidered map of Ireland, which is said to have been made in 1793. The outlines of the counties, as well as the decorative border have been stitched in what looks like chenille thread in muted colours. Smaller details such as the names and ship at the bottom have been worked in finer thread.
We love the area under the ship where the splitting fabric has been darned, it almost makes the sea look more realistic! A great example of the age of an object adding to its beauty and charm.
What treasures would you like to see from our store? With museums currently closed under UK lockdown restrictions we are missing browsing museums and galleries. If you are too, we would love to share more objects with you to help with your cultural fix! Comment below, or send us a message and we will try our best to help!

I learnt something today that I think is just beautiful. My grandmother was a very sick woman and pretty much housebound for the last of her life. She derived great pleasure from watching her neighbour’s backyard chickens. She adored these chickens. Every time I called, she had new chicken drama to tell me—think Linda Belcher and the raccoons. It turns out that at some point, their neighbour was no longer able to have chickens because due to a disability he could no longer afford to keep them. My grandfather, upon learning this, immediately used his spending money to keep the neighbour in both chickens and chicken feed so that my grandmother would have chickens to watch since my grandfather didn’t have time to keep chickens at their home. He did this for ten years, guys. TEN YEARS he secretly funded his neighbour’s backyard chickens so that my grandmother would have chickens to watch every day until the day she died. That’s true love.
I only use my ability to draw passable horses for evil. Related: centaur equestrianism.

for the love of god please listen to old users when we say this site works differently. that you can’t just sit around with a blank blog. make posts or reblog, but do something at least. this site works because we don’t have an unavoidable garbage algorithm forcefeeding us posts based on our likes. we do not need another fucking twitter, tiktok or instagram.
