I’m internally debating whether I will refuse to watch Hamnet on principle because I found the novel’s central literary premise—that there’s nothing in Shakespeare’s work that can be interpreted as responding to his son’s death—faulty.
From King John, the first play after Hamnet’s death:
From King John, the first play after Hamnet’s death:
![CONSTANCE
Grief fills the room up of my absent child, Lies in his bed, walks up and down with me, Puts on his pretty looks, repeats his words, Remembers me of all his gracious parts, Stuffs out his vacant garments with his form;
Then, have I reason to be fond of grief?
Fare you well. Had you such a loss as I, I could give better comfort than you do.
[She unbinds her hair.]
I will not keep this form upon my head
When there is such disorder in my wit.
O Lord! My boy, my Arthur, my fair son, My life, my joy, my food, my all the world, My widow-comfort and my sorrows' cure!
She exits.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7atr6fz5wmah35t6jc4l2rj6/bafkreigm26fsgwmt5npyifmcadl6syvoa7na2d77wexi47ws6oncdhsy7y@jpeg)

I've finished another Historical Self-Portrait, set in 1725! You can see it in color if you join my Patreon, free tier and up. This one is based on a painting by Jean Etienne Liòtard and inspired by Lady Mary Wortley Montagu's Turkish Embassy Letters.

The Queen of Smokey Mountain, out on sub again soon: Renata is a girl with the secret ability to talk to bugs, lifted out of poverty into the dazzling world of Philippine beauty pageants. The script is complete, though I’m making some revisions, and the artist is the amazing Amanda Castillo.

My grandfathers lived through the 1930s, when Filipino men were literally being hunted down. The government gave Filipinos incentives to go back to the Philippines if they promised never to return. And yet almost all Filipinos in the U.S. chose to stay. I honor the Manongs by supporting immigrants.

The image that gets used for Ea-Nassir (pic 1) is about 1000 years too old to be him. Pic 2 and 3 are dudes from around 1900 BCE, which was Ea-Nasir time.
