PHM characters as text posts: pt. 8/?
Part 7
(Eva Stratt they could never make me hate you!!!)
also, google is free, but pick up a textbook every once in awhile. Find articles written by POC and keep up to date with how you can be a better ally. I took a black feminist theory class in college…taught by two white women.
You heard me right. Two. White. Women.
Which is fucking insane in itself, but on the first day of class one of the professors was reading an article, written by a black woman…and decided that it was completely acceptable and appropriate to drop the n-word (hard r) and every single person in class was fucking MORTIFIED. Even in the context of education, there was no reason for a white professor to so casually and subtly use that word. (They were called out for it immediately after and profusely apologized)
My point is that covert racism is still racism, and unfortunately it is alive and well.
I also have all of the articles and works saved from this class if anyone would like to do some heavy and necessary reading! I have hard copies, but I’m sure I can find the links for the articles as well.
Just after doing a little research on google, I found these articles to be incredibly helpful on breaking down covert racism, racism, white privilege, etc.
covert racism
systematic racism
racism and health
becoming trustworthy white allies
what is white privilege
books on systematic racism, racial justice, and anti-racism
race equity tools
Bottom line, white people have no excuse to not stand up for BIPOC. There is no excuse for racism. There is no tolerance, and we have to do better. I firmly believe that the first step in becoming a better ally is to educate yourself.
went to miami to recover father sotirios. and made some new friends.
these animals... they are wise. I recruited them to avenge my dear brother. I was then escorted out of the sea world.
Better than the 1596 Marseille dolphin exorcism I suppose.
In 1596 dolphins were infesting the port of Marseille. Back in those days, y’see, dolphins didn’t have the cuddly image they enjoy today. They were pests and were causing damage.
So the cardinal of Avignon sent the bishop of Cavaillon to do something about them. In front of a huge crowd, the bishop sprinkled some holy water into the waters of the port and told the dolphins to begone. Whereupon the dolphins indeed turned tail in terror and fled, and were never seen again.
Still not as dramatic as Saint Bernard excommunicating the flies though.
What happened to the flies?
Saint Bernard of Clairvaux built a monastery in 1124, but it was plagued by flies. So the good saint promptly excommunicated them. By the next day the flied had died in such quantities that they had to be shoveled out.
Still not as nutty as the Basel rooster trial though.
*everyone in unison* um what rooster trial?
In 1474, a rooster in Basel did the heinous and unspeakable act of laying an egg. As everyone knows, an egg laid by a rooster will hatch into a basilisk (or cockatrice).
So to avoid the creation of a cockatrice (or basilisk), the rooster was tried, found guilty, and burned at the stake along with its egg. A huge crowd was present.
The “rooster” in this case was likely a hen that had developed male characteristics (it happens).
Still not as properly legal as the Savigny pig trial though.
Ok, clearly you want an excuse to talk about the pig thing, and I now DESPERATELY want to hear about the pig thing, so PLEASE tell us about the Pig Thing.
In 1457 a sow killed Jehan Martin, a five-year-old boy in Savigny. For that crime she was put on trial and judged guilty, and sentenced to be hanged from a tree.
Her piglets, however, were judged to have been innocent of the murder, and so were returned to the owner, with the caveat that he had to surrender them to the law if they were later found to have eaten any of the boy.
Not to be confused with a whole bunch of other, similar porcine trials.
I won’t mention the 1454 excommunication of eels in Lake Geneva then.
OK what did the eels do, and more pressingly why were they in communion with the church in the first place
Animals are expected to be part of the Church by default, that’s why they take excommunication so badly.
Felix Hemmerlin’s treatise on exorcism, cited by e.g. Wagner’s Historia Naturalis Helvetiae (1680), informs us that around 1221-1229, eels once infested Lake Geneva in huge numbers. So Saint William, bishop of Lausanne, excommunicated them and banned them from the lake, forcing them to live in only one part of it.
Plot twist: as far as we know, Saint William was never bishop of Lausanne.
There’s no way you have historical Christianity nonsense more silly than this to share
I’ve been trying to stay on brand and talk about animals only, but sure, few intersections of Christianity and the legal system get sillier than…
… the Cadaver Synod.
Pope Formosus (“Good-looking”) was pope from 891 to 896, and apparently accumulated a few enemies. After his successor Boniface VI enjoyed all of a 15-day papacy, the next pope elected was Stephen VI.
And he hated Formosus.
How much? He had the corpse of Formosus exhumed, dressed up in papal vestments, and put on trial for his failings as a pope.
End result? Formosus was found guilty of papal fail. The corpse was stripped of its clothes, three fingers on its right hand were severed (no blessings for u), and it was tied to weights and dumped in the Tiber.
Needless to say Stephen VI came to a sticky end. An angry mob deposed him, he was strangled in prison, and Formosus’s corpse was fished up and reburied with honors. And the later popes passed edicts ensuring this kind of silliness would not happen again.
Tune in next time when I tell you about how a lawyer defended a city’s entire rat population.
Please, the rats, give us the rats, i beg....
The story of the rats of Autun is also the story of Barthelémy de Chasseneuz (or Chassenée, etc.), a highly original and highly talented defense lawyer. That’s him here.
When the town of Autun was infested by rats in the early 1500s, they were accused of eating the province’s barley crop and were duly summoned to be judged in an ecclesiastical court of law. Chasseneuz was the defense attorney.
How do you defend an entire swarm of rats? You don’t, is the answer. You delay. Chasseneuz’s original defense was “my clients live all over the place, one summons won’t be enough”. So he got a court summons to be posted in all the infested parishes.
When the rats didn’t show up after the elapsed time delay, Chasseneuz proceeded to explain at length why. The rats didn’t come to court, he said, because of their enemies the cats, which are everywhere and always vigilant and hungry. “You cannot expect my clients to undertake a journey which would put them in mortal danger”, he argued in complete seriousness. “Thus they have the legal right to turn down a summons that endangers them”.
As far as we know, the rats never did appear in court, and remained unprosecuted.
Chasseneuz went on to have a distinguished career as a lawyer and was allegedly killed by a poisoned bouquet of flowers.
at least now we know why he has yet to return when Britain is in peril
We need a flick where King Arthur wakes in modern Jamaica and is very confused.
I think that would be so much funny. He wakes up on a remote beach in Jamaica and he only speaks/understands Brythonic and Medieval Latin. Locals assume he was a tourist who fell from a cruise ship or received a head injury and floated away from a resort. The authorities cannot match his description to any missing persons reports and his fingerprints and DNA produce no hits on INTERPOL. They suspect he may be Welsh or French because the language he speaks resembles Welsh or Breton but France and the UK both state he is not a citizen of their country. Stateless and deeply confused, he is taken in by the community near the beach where he was found, being cared for by a number of local families and doing odd jobs. He slowly learns English and adjusts to the contemporary world, uncertain if his belief that he is the legendary King Arthur was formed by whatever traumatic event caused him to end up Jamaica or if he is actually King Arthur and Prydain is in eminent peril. Mysterious letters from Morgan begin to reaffirm his belief he is King Arthur. He must choose between staying in Jamaica and continuing the happy life he has made for himself or finding a way to get back to Britain without any documentation.
ancient king white boy stuns locals by ordering in perfect Jamaican Patois
He gets to Britain and everyone expects him to sound like a posh noble Englishman because that is the picture Malory painted but he prefers to speak Welsh and when he has to speak English, he speaks with a thick Jamaican accent.
also the way he pulls britain out of said peril really pisses off the right wingers, at least in part because he recognises that he cannot do it alone and chooses those he trusts (his jamaican community) as his knights
Absolutely, Guinevere is the Jamaican nurse who took him in in this universe and many of his friends in the Jamaican community that took him in are analogous with/reincarnations of common characters from Arthurian mythology. Except for Merlin. Who is the original Merlin. Who is living a retiree lifestyle in The Bahamas for plot and wizard foresight reasons.
Unrelated side note, I love slipping in an occasional Prydain in place of Britain just to remind everyone King Arthur was not English. The landmass is Ynys Prydein to him. ☝️

what is your LEAST favorite stitch?
I don't like counted work at fucking all. So: the cross stitch.
reading this as someone who does cross stitch but is scared of the other kinds of embroidery is like overhearing an incredibly tall and buff person say they have beef with Mr. Tom, the kitten that chills at the bookstore
FUCK Mr. Tom and his stupid little fluffy tail ok. And his little charted designs.
Okay, but this neglects the true villain of embroidery stitches: the French knot
Don't you dare malign my girl again
Ok the french knot is very useful but it is a BITCH to do it consistently
We talk about how this website’s hate mail game is insane, but this might just be a new level
The suffering of the victims will not be erased by silence. Justice is not a slogan, but a responsibility. The voices of the victims must remain present until accountability is achieved and every human being's right to life and dignity is respected.
To everyone who hears but doesn't speak, to everyone who sits but doesn't move, to everyone holding their phone right now but not participating: do something for justice.
In Gaza, life is nonexistent. The tents are dilapidated, healthcare is nonexistent, and there's no cleanliness, water, food, medicine, hospitals, education, work—everything. Despite all this, my family and I cling to Gaza and Palestine. We still have hope.
Any donation will be our only lifeline. You are our hope, our only lifeline. Any donation will help my family through this painful ordeal.
DONATE PLEASE
Been really enjoying the fox symbolism and I've seen a couple of lamb references... but I haven't seen any where the lamb survives.
"He's shy!" "Rocky is protecting his Grace!" Rocky is trying to keep Grace from running full tilt to examine this new facet of reality with the enthusiasm of a bored scientist who finally has a unknown treat after three years of star trek reruns.
Doodles about Human Rocky and Adrian, plus eridian grace and his minor hearing issue maintenance.

"-Rocky is strangely adamant about the fact that he'll always be there, in the end. He might take a while, he might be slower, but he'll get to me at the end of the day. I assume that this is due to him loosing his crew, and having an intense alien mixed case of separation anxiety and PTSD. It will be noted, however, that while the author does have 'doctor' in his title it's not that kind of doctor, and he does not have any ability to diagnose."
there's a few more but I can do that later
Some spoilers for Virtual Insanities latest chapters!
Rather fond of the fics that just put these two through more hell, so ofc I’m loving Virtual Insanity by @bronzeplates rn
I’ll honestly probably do more drawings like this for the fic as chapters come out cause it’s pretty fun. Plus, Art Fight is wrapping up and I’ll have bit more freedom with what I spend my time drawing.
I also have a few sketches in the works of my own designs so I’ll be posting those sometime soon as well!!
OH MY GOD OHMYGOD IM GONNA EAT THIS OH MY GOD I NEED TO CRASH MY CAR
are you JKIDDING ME??? The rendering??? the line work????? omfg i’m gonna die you can’t do this to me
GOD i love the little doodles. and the big doodles. jesus i just fuckin love this dude
[Image ID: Several drawings all on the same page. There is a large drawing on the left side of Ryland Grace and Simon cuddling each other, a jacket covering Grace's face. Beneath it there is a much smaller version of the same drawing but as a doodle instead of the fully rendered drawing. Up in the top middle-ish there is a doodle of Ava and Grace looking concerned and both facing Simon. Simon is facing the two of them blood on his mouth and a thought bubble to the right of him with a doodle of a chicken leg. In the top right corner there's a doodle of Simon with an annoyed expression. Next to him there's written "this mf". Below this is a drawing of both Simon and Grace. Simon is standing and Grace is still lying down on a cot. Simon's arm is outstretched and a jacket, which he has just thrown, is covering Grace's face. In the bottom right corner is a drawing of Simon, sitting down with one arm in front of him. A speech bubble, with kind of pointy edges to show he is yelling, has the words "Stop! Don't- Fuck. Don't move" written in it. Underneath his arm is a much smaller drawing of him, one hand showing a thumbs up, and the other holding a blood bag. There is blood on his face and dripping down onto his shirt. "Yum" is written to the right of him. /End ID]
thinking about statues of Grace being built all around Erid years after his passing so he can continue to watch over Eridians as they sleep
[Image ID; A drawing of Ryland Grace as a statue. The statue of him is made to be sitting with his legs crossed and looking down. It looks like there are pieces of Eridian jewelry around his neck, both arms, and a small piece on his right leg. An Eridian is sat in his lap with music notes above it. The statue is on top of a hexagonal platform. A plaque with the words "Savior Grace" in all caps is attached to the front of the platform. /End ID]
Sherlock and Moriarty meeting Jon and Gerry would be a hell of a meeting of the minds.
Meeting of the minds in question imo

Spoon in the shape of a fish. Carved from some Sycamore I found just outside Wivenhoe, Essex.
op i love your fish so much i made it a png
they are now a school of fish
Posts that prove that despite about 300 thousand years of technological development, humanity at its core hasn't really changed all that much
[Image ID: There are now ten spoons in the shape of a fish from the first post that have been placed in a photo of the ocean. /End ID]
Has this been done yet
Edit: was not expecting this to blow up, and I've seen some people mistake this as an original idea, so here is the original post this is based on
[Image ID: A series of four drawings arranged like a vertical comic panel. The first is of Ryland Grace sitting up in bed, visibly panicked, his glasses hanging off of his right ear, with the words "Shoot I'm late for school" written in red and in all caps and are to the left of him. The second drawing of him is of him sitting in the same position with the words "Oh yeah I'm 40" written in red to the left of him." The third drawing is of him laid back down with a peaceful expression. The fourth and final drawing of him shows him sitting back up, glasses flying off of his face, more panicked than the first drawing. The words "I'm a teacher!" are written in red and in all caps and are to the left of him. /End ID]
