“Don’t call Trump supporters nazis, it hurts their feelings.”
Yes, this is real (link to tweet). Yes, Tucker Carlson is literally repeating Nazi propaganda that aided the genocide of the Romani during the Holocaust. Yes, I am furious.
(Also, although there is a large population of Romani in Romania, they aren’t indigenous to Romania. They’re a diasporic group originally from northern India.)
Lee Pace being forcibly outed is one of the reasons I don’t get on board with “only real life gay people can play gays in the movies” bandwagon.
I get the idea behind it, wanting representation and I too am tired of straight men being called “brave” for taking on the role of a gay man.
But this attitude led to Lee being pushed out into an open and I’m firmly against people ever having to come out if they don’t feel comfortable and safe.
Push for better representation, push back against straight men acting like them just kissing a man should net then an Oscar, but don’t push people into positions where we act like we are entitled to know their sexual identity.
witches on this site who act like walmart selling witch costumes and starbucks making ‘witch’s brew’ drinks is cultural appropriation and then go n steal up bits of native american, african, african american, etc. culture… save everyone the time n just say ur racists!
They also love forgetting the people persecuted the most during the witch trials were Jewish/RRomani or just Not White in Europe
listen just because a song was written before 1920 and has a fiddle in it doesn’t make it a sea shanty
I saw a ‘sea shanty playlist’ with finnegans wake in it and I almost died
a sea shatny is an unaccompanied work song with a call and response structure just because a folk song is about the sea doesn’t make it a shanty
actual tall ship sailor here! this isn’t quite accurate. there are two main categories of sea shanty: working shanties and fo’c’sle shanties.
working shanties are (obviously) songs sung while working. they typically have a steady beat and a call and response format – useful not only for keeping a massive crew all hauling on a line / heaving on a capstan together, but also for not becoming mind-numbingly bored as you do this for hours on end (raising an anchor could literally take an hour in the days before hydraulic windlasses and propeller-driven ships. last time i did it, even with using the ship’s engine to get us over the anchor, it took about fifteen minutes of constant work to get the anchor up). there are subcategories of working shanty based on what kind of work you’re doing (short haul, long haul, capstan e.g)
fo’c’sle shanties (short for forecastle, where the common jack tar would sleep/hang out) are another story. they were sung purely for entertainment, sort of like campfire songs. as such, they are much freer in form – they often aren’t call and response, and they rarely keep as steady a beat.
either of these two categories can be accompanied! the shantyman would often play the fiddle while standing on the capstan as it rotated, and of course in fo’c’sle shanties anything goes. besides, if you wouldn’t slam a traditional irish tune for having guitar playing chords behind the melody (an innovation that only came about in the 1970s, and piano accompaniment in the 1920s, prior to which everyone just played the melody in unison), there’s no need to slam a shanty for having accompaniment, even non-traditional accompaniment. it makes stuff sound nicer!
