I have one subscriber on beehiiv and it tells me the clicks I get so I know nobody is as invested in this as I am BUT STILL we have to proceed as if it is so or we die. Here’s a relevant sample.
Should I drop the dialect in the Harry and Ellis stories?
Oh, uh, I should probably say, Harry and Ellis is a m/m romance set in early eighteenth-century Britain between Ellis, an Irish Traveller in exile who has taken to the London underworld as gangleader, thief, and highwayman and Harry, an English orphan who knows he is worth more than the brutal apprenticeship he fled. Both are determined to get what’s owed them from the world, and England will regret these two little hooligans falling in love.
My childhood (1980s) unicorn postcard collection. I believe these were all by the same artist, Andy Mack / Aardvark Art.
OH MY GODS!!!!!!!! That’s the artist! I looked him up and I FOUND THE POSTER! I’ve been looking for this for DECADES! My mom destroyed it in like 1992, and I could never even find anything *about* it! I’ve searched for it every few years forever, but without an artist name I never found anything, just completely unrelated pictures.
Here it is! I feel like I’m going to cry! I’ve found it!
The Danish Viking Ship Museum has announced that they are currently excavating a cog. The ship is located in the Oresund and is believed to be 600 years old. What is exciting about it is that it is very large. ‘Svaelget 2 measures about 92 feet long, 30 feet wide and 20 feet tall. Experts estimate its cargo capacity was 300 tons,’ according to the article. If you would like to read more, please take a look at the full article.
I was thinking about your post about the art-looker, and wanted to tell you that my Dad was kind of an art-looker villain. At some point in the 80s, he went to London to observe some specific paintings, and then discovered that the paintings were in the private residence of the Queen and normal people couldn't look at them. He was disgusted, and tried to sneak off the tour of Buckingham Palace in order to find the paintings. He spent some time wandering around before he was caught, and because he's Irish and it was the 80s, police were rapidly called because they thought he was scoping the place out to plant a bomb or something. After some intense interviews they decided he wasn't a terrorist but was indeed an idiot who wanted to see some Vermeers.
