Wow, very interesting! Thank you for sharing. I've been fangirling Blackbraid for a while, too. (Missed the Hki concert!) Europeans were colonised too, by Romans who spread x-tianity, also by missionaries w/in the country. Our tribes had warpaint, too (chalk with Celts, Nordic hist. corpsepaint).

🤭 As a sailor I usually don't take pleasure in a tall ship's mishap, but the American Bark Eagle losing it's GOLDEN figurehead during a training cruise is just the state of the nation in one perfect image.
