"#Whaling was also one of the few industries where #BlackAmericans, both free and formerly #enslaved, could make money and become wealthy. Individuals of all backgrounds could rise through the whaling industry ranks based on skill rather than birth."

I'm happy to give three cheers to #MobyDick's #Daggoo, #Tashtego and #Queequeg.

Okay I finished #OliverTwist & I'm onto my next classic, #MobyDick

On chapter 11 and I'm on #AO3 for some #Queequeg #Ishmael slash bc they're cute af 😄

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.

"WI is currently considering a similar bill to W.VA's. ID has a bill on the table that would “prohibit certain materials from being promoted, given, or made available to a minor.” Which materials? [those with] “any act of masturbation, homosexuality, sexual intercourse, or physical contact w/a person’s clothed or unclothed genitals, pubic area, buttocks or, if such person be a female, the breast.”

The Mountain State’s House overwhelmingly passed a bill that would make schools, libraries, and museums criminally liable if books have too much sexy stuff in them.

@yasha. #Moby-Dick. #Ishmael's voice -- its humor, beauty, capaciousness. #Ahab's rage. #Queequeg's coffin turned lifeboat. His love for Ishmael. And the #whale, regal, beautiful, and relentlessly victimized. Every time I reread it, I see and hear and experience something new.

#Moby-Dick was published today in 1851 in London by Richard Bentley. My life -- and many others who love literature, love #whales
love #Ishmael's voice, love #Queequeg's body & soul, even love, b/c so visceral, the representation of #Ahab's pain, & even love, perhaps most of all, the brilliant, funny, heartbreaking chapters about the whale's anatomy -- was transformed after reading it for the first time when I was 16. & transformed anew with every rereading. 🐳
