sorry for never using this account but please read & share my Big Pennatch Story i’m very proud of it 🥹🥹🥹
Two years ago, I discovered a love story hidden within Scott’s last Antarctic expedition—between two of his officers, Pennell and Atkinson. They survived the tragedy which took Scott’s life and shocked the world, but further dangers still lay ahead for them.

The Love Story Hiding in a Legendary Tragedy
Captain Robert Falcon Scott’s doomed journey to Antarctica captivated the world. But hidden within the legend was a story that has never been told—a love affair between two of the crew who survived.

Our first piece of the year is live—and it's a big one! With the recent release of the classic BBC sci-fi show Blake's 7 on Blu-ray, @scenicrailway.bsky.social looks back at the infamous 1980s clash between fans and creators that became known as the Slash Wars. 🚀 Read or listen to an audio version:
The War That Almost Broke a Classic Fandom — Fansplaining

You do not need to be an academic to visit an archive.

You do not need a degree to visit an archive.

There is no terrifying Don at the door grilling potential visitors.

If it's your first time, a nice archivist will help you.

It's our shared history, our preserved records. Go explore it.

every time i see someone call spirk the oldest slash ship, i'm filled with the urge to go "☝️ actually the holmes/watson girlies have been here for a hundred years now", and i refrain because i know the natural conclusion of this game is "☝️ actually, gilgamesh/enkidu"

if i ever watch iwtv you will never catch me posting about it not once... from the outside it seems less like a tv show and more like some kind of virulent discourse brainworm

Coca wine was a popular alcoholic beverage in the 19th century. Each bottle contained approximately 6 milligrams of cocaine per ounce. One popular brand, Vin Mariani, was enjoyed by Jules Verne, Alexander Dumas, and Arthur Conan Doyle. Thomas Edison claimed it helped him stay awake! #skystorians
