I don't mix smut with politics coz I don't shit where I play.
But if the Cheeto in chief up north keeps picking fights with my country I'm gonna keep calling him a moron.
The Gulf of Mexico was part of Mexican America long before the Mayflower's pilgrims even set foot on this continent.

La thèse aura ma peau. Je fais des recherches sur un monétaire romain à l'origine d'un denier qui a servi de modèle à une émission gauloise et je tombe sur sa page Wikipédia... en latin. 🤣

Bro I fucking hate constellations. "This constellation is named after a Greek hero. This one's a triangle. This one's the SOUTHERN triangle." Ptolomy was off his shit with naming constellation, Petrus Plancius could use some help.

A couple of months ago I worked on this piece of Plancius for @oceanwideexpeditions #madeincommission
She returned to Vlissingen for maintenance in May before heading off again on new adventures.

"Sorry, this seat is taken".
After a long day and more to come I went for tea to Plancius in Amsterdam, across from Artis Zoo and next door to the Resistance Museum where my next 'do' was.
OK, ok, I took the seat across the aisle.

It's not going be a snowy Christmas in Southern England
So, the next best thing is this gorgeous Snow Petrel, which flew past the Plancius as we headed to Antarctica from South Georgia in Jan 23

For my fellow map-heads, this is apparently the "Orbis terrarum typus de integro multis in locis emendatus", a 1593 engraving by Jan Van Doetecum, original map by Petrus Plancius.

The tragic story behind the phantom Willoughby's Land in the Barents Sea is a remarkable episode in early explorations of the Northeast Passage.
After sighting land at 72°N in 1553, did Sir Hugh Willoughby and his crew accidentally poison themselves when forced to overwinter in the Arctic?
