🐋✨ Ah, yes! The literary classic 'Moby Dick' isn't just for whale enthusiasts anymore; it's the new benchmark for testing productivity apps! 🔥 Because if your to-do list can handle the sheer verbosity of Captain Ahab's obsession, surely it can manage your grocery list of two items and a reminder to "breathe." 📚💀

I'm counting the days when we can successfully communicate with sperm whales 🐳. We will finally be able to apologise for almost making them extinct because of our thirst for money and "progress".

And we could tell them one of the greatest books ever written by our civilization is about them! 😍

Melville would be proud. 🫶🏾

If #MobyDick has taught me anything, it's that #sailors are #gay, #GayMarriage was always legal under #MaritimeLaw, and whaling ships are just big gay orgies, and that's why they don't want women there to tempt them into being straight.

This is simply a straightforward reading of the text. If you don't like it, maybe you don't like classic #American #Literature. 🇺🇸 📖 🫡

Zettel 645

Herman Melville: Immer wenn ich merke, daß ich um den Mund herum grimmig werde; immer wenn in meiner Seele nasser, niesliger November herrscht; immer wenn ich merke, daß ich vor Sarglagern stehenbleibe und jedem Leichenzug hinterhertrotte, der mir begegnet; und besonders immer dann, wenn meine schwarze Galle so sehr überhandnimmt, daß nur starke moralische Grundsätze mich davon abhalten können, mit Vorsatz auf die Straße zu treten und den Leuten mit Bedacht die Hüte vom Kopf zu hauen – dann ist es höchste Zeit für mich, so bald ich kann auf See zu kommen. Das ist mein Ersatz für Pistole und Kugel. Mit einer stoischen Sentenz stürzt Cato sich in sein Schwert; ich gehe still an Bord. Daran ist nichts Überraschendes. Von Zeit zu Zeit hegen fast alle Menschen, ob sie’s wissen oder nicht, in etwa dieselben Gefühle für das Weltmeer wie ich.” – Moby Dick

Well, I'm battened down as much as I can be, and since I'm flying solo this weekend, I might as well take advantage of the fireplace and settle into this week's book club reading.

#Movies . . .

A good movie that I missed when it was released but just watched on #PrimeVideo.

#InTheHeartOfTheOcean (2015) is directed by #RonHoward, who's filmography of films he has directed is almost as substantial as #Spielberg's with #Splash, #Cocoon, #GungHo, #Backdraft, #ThePaper, #Apollo13, #TheMissing, #CinderellaMan, the #DaVinci Code Trillogy,
#13Lives & this movie(among others) to his credit.

Heart of the Ocean is a prequel to #MobyDick in which #HermanMelville is told the reportedly true story of the whaling ship Essex which sank when attacked by a whale, which he uses to write his book.

#ChrisHelmsworth stars in the movie & #CillianMurphy & #BrendanGleeson play supporting roles.

It's an excellent cast & a very good movie which I'd rate a 7 out of 10, even though it only was moderately successful financially & only given luke warm ratings elsewhere.

Some years ago—never mind how long precisely—having little or no money in his purse, and nothing particular to interest him on shore, Song Lan thought he would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world.

There Are Giant #Mammals Alive Today That Were Adults During the American #CivilWar
The #bowheadwhale, a giant, #Arctic-dwelling species bigger than a bus, evidence suggesting they live over 200yr. There are currently bowhead whales swimming around #Alaska that were alive when #MobyDick was written in 1851.
Other large #whales also enjoy relatively long lives; #bluewhales, can reach up to 90 years of age. Nevertheless, none can rival the extreme longevity of the #bowhead.

A friend just showed me #MobyDick chapter 10.

ToDo: continue this as a #gay #erotica between #Ishmael and #Queequeg. Forget the fucking whale, these two literally proclaim their #marriage and willingness to die for one another, kiss each other, then go to bed together.

If #interspecies #war sounds like a concept that only exists in #scifi and #fantasy, remember that humans have fought wars against #emus and #whales.

The book #MobyDick was, at the time, #RealisticFiction about the ongoing counter-attacks that #SpermWhales were doing against anything that looked like a #whaling ship, and the ongoing efforts of the whaling ships to fight them, effectively a war between whales and #whalers.

It's not fiction, it's the result of #specieism.
