#OTD in 2012 – Death of Bernard Noël 'Banjo Barney' McKenna, a musician and a much-loved founding member of The Dubliners.

Barney McKenna was the last surviving founding member of the Irish folk group the Dubliners. With Luke Kelly’s powerful voice and force of nature on stage, Ronnie Drew’s gravelly memorable vocal sound, it was McKenna’s playing of the tenor banjo, coupled with John Sheahan’s fiddle, that gave the Dubliners their original instrumental quality. In the process, McKenna redefined the role of the banjo…

maybe it's just the Radical Rediker talking, but there's something pointed in the way that, say, popular pirate media like Pirates of the Caribbean dilutes the pirate's freedom to "bring me that horizon" as opposed to, say, "plenty and satiety, pleasure and ease, liberty and power" (Bartholomew Roberts).

broadly speaking, most pirates chose the life in order to escape and revenge the hard labour, corporal punishment, overworking, and unequal pay of merchant/navy/privateer ships; or the privations of their sudden unemployment once a war was over, ignored as soon as their ability to die for the state was unneeded. yes, many were thugs, but, consciously political or not, they were responding to a particular, material reality.

the pirate's desired freedom was from the effects of exploitative modes of statehood and capital production. but popular media usually shifts this into a general desire for freedom: freedom to roam, freedom to love (usually merely a cross-class white, heterosexual union), or freedom from the personal pressures of social norms. it's a vague, ahistorical, post-Enlightenment, libertarian ideal rather than a response to a real social and economic situation.

to be clear, this only really applies to specifically the late golden age of piracy, in the first quarter of the 18th century. earlier generations of pirates/buccaneers often displayed nationalist/religious motives, and were lauded, tolerated, or even encouraged by the French and English states for aiding their fights against the Spanish and Portuguese. only the last gasp of age of sail pirates had a truly anti-national energy, and both figured themselves, and were figured by the imperial powers, as the enemies of all nations.

but if we are to valourise the late golden age pirate, at his best, his ideals were for true democracy, and the abolition of nation, hierarchy, and labour exploitation; not "the horizon". he was striking out in response to specific political, social, and economic oppressions, rather than a general individual restlessness, and that reality - and its similarities to our own - are important.

I dunno, I just... have a lot of thoughts about the defanging of piracy in modern media. obviously there were a lot of things bad about them, too, and the level of egalitarianism varied between individual people and ships. but again, if we're going to be valourising them anyway... there were idealists. and they weren't subtle about they wanted.

"I shan't own myself guilty of any murder", said William Fly in 1726. "Our captain and his mate used us barbarously. We poor men can't have justice done us. There is nothing said to our commanders, let them never so much abuse us, and use us like dogs. But the poor sailors --"

#pirates #history #pirate history #Togas does meta #Rediker is Marcus Rediker and I've only just started finally reading some of his work properly but god it's good #also if you've watched Black Sails I'd love to know how much of this energy is in there #it's a bit too ~gritty for my tastes but I get the impression it's also a bit vague about freedom over material historical politics #but i could be wrong! #obviously PotC has an ingrained anti-EIC vibe but even then it's more about ''they're enclosing the sea against us wild rovers'' than #''company captains beat us half to death just for the wealth we facilitate to be funnelled to the top while us sailors are left to rot'' #and christ knows it's not interested in historical realities XD

it’s just occurring to me how much Matt Smith’s portrayal of Prince Philip seems to have inspired the actual writing of Daemon Targaryen in HOTD and that is hilarious to me like this is ur Prince???

+ One extra under the cut so I don't jumpscare anyone with a naked Smurf (It's not sexual)

Also whilst I was drawing it I was thinking about how Archie's ears are usually always covered by his hat so theoretically the skeleton earring could be canon fjdksf

Under here for nudity but I'm back in a Hunter mood and I rlly like drawing vitiligo and wanted to draw smthing full body :) Not entirely sure why 'showering via leaf' was the answer but here we are

Land Rover Series III (1971–1984), a well-traveled Brit, admirably individually built for a reasonably relaxed life on Ibiza far from the norm

I fucking love thinking about love. I wail and pull my hair and gnash my teeth thinking about love. About the ache in your lungs when you yearn for someone, the way your heart rises into your throat because there's no room left in your chest for anything else but love. Now you can't get the words out, but that's fine. They probably wouldn't be big enough for your love either.

Yeah.

#I miss my boyfriend #I love him like no shelli has ever loved #and I want my favs to be loved #I want them to be humbled by love #any kind of love #sobbing #shelli speaks #don't look at me #listening to wild mountain thyme by the irish rovers tears streaming down my cheeks #sorry if this is cringe
