Fulmar

An itinerant squadron of fulmars
Had a party round at Bob Woolmer’s.
They boogied and danced
And shimmied and pranced
And then trashed the place, fuelled by Bulmer’s.

this reflects the rebels' image of redcoats & mercenaries as thugs (expressly a gussied-up underclass, too — the landless, itinerant, and uneducated oppressing their betters), and also the way they thought about historical events like the english civil war and the end of the roman republic

Coffee cup from the Vezzi factory (c1720-27), recently sold by E&H Manners, London #c18th #c18 #18thc
White porcelain cup painted with two spider's webs suspended from thistles in a palette of iron-red, green and blue with black outlines; in the interior, an iron-red scrollwork border close to the rim. From the dealer (lightly edited): 'Giovanni Vezzi established this first Italian hard-paste porcelain factory on the Giudecca in Venice in 1720 with a financial guarantee from his father, Francesco, a successful goldsmith. It was remarkable in being the first European factory to have been started by merchants intent on establishing a business rather than by a prince. The technical skills of porcelain manufacture were supplied by the itinerant arcanist Christoph Konrad Hunger, who had been persuaded to flee Meissen in 1717 by Graf von Virmont, representative of the Austrian court at Dresden, and establish the factory of Claudius Innocentius Dupaquier in Vienna. Hunger's stay there was brief before moving on to Venice. The clay used initially by Vezzi was the same as that used by Meissen and was smuggled from Aue in Saxony. Hunger quarrelled with Vezzi and left in 1724. The factory struggled to survive, finally being forced to close and dismantle the kilns in 1727. After the demolition of the kilns a quantity of undecorated porcelain remained, which Vezzi and his collaborators continued to decorate until at least 1735; and so it is always difficult to date the decoration of Vezzi porcelain precisely.'

Peripatetic [pair-uh-puh-TET-ik]
(adj.)
- Tending to walk around from place to place; itinerant.

Used in a sentence:
“The household grew accustomed to his peripatetic habits, though no one could quite recall where he had come from, nor agree upon when, or even whether, he was leaving at all.”
A vintage-style “Grandiloquent Word of the Day” card featuring the word Peripatetic, with its pronunciation, part of speech, and definition (“tending to walk around from place to place; itinerant”), followed by a literary quote. The design uses decorative Victorian typography and an aged parchment background. On the right is a black-and-white, early-20th-century German travel advertisement, showing two people, an automobile, and a motorcycle on a countryside road, evoking travel and wandering.

Excerpt from an excellent essay about how deep the hypocrisy of the right-wing christo-fascists runs. Check out the whole essay and give @drstaceypatton.bsky.social a follow. (most active on fb and substack) Dr. Patton is funny and sharp as hell.

Watching these Christians harass monks is a straight-up confession of what white Christian nationalism really is. It ain’t about Christ. It’s about control and domination and who gets to speak for god in the public square. A Buddhist monk walking quietly through America blows that whole fantasy up. He doesn’t ask permission or perform for their culture war. He just exists in discipline, stillness, and peace. And that drives the religious bigots nuts. Because their version of Christianity has learned to confuse noise with holiness, aggression with truth, and power with god. And when real spiritual seriousness shows up without their flag, slogans, or politics, all they can do is attack it and tell a bunch of monks they’re going to hell. And the irony is obscene. The religion that claims to follow a poor, itinerant teacher who walked everywhere, who owned nothing, who told people to put down their swords, now produces followers who cannot tolerate the sight of men doing precisely that. Walking. Owning little. Practicing peace. Not demanding shit. Not conquering and colonizing. Just being.

Here’s Dr King writing for The Nation, March 14, 1966

www.thenation.com/article/econ...
It is easy to conceive of a plan to raise the minimum wage and thus in a single stroke extract millions of people from poverty. But between the conception and the realization there lies a formidable wall. Someone has been profiting from the low wages of Negroes. Depressed living standards for Negroes are a structural part of the economy. Certain industries are based upon the supply of low-wage, underskilled and immobile nonwhite labor. Hand assembly factories, hospitals, service industries, housework, agriculture operations using itinerant labor, would all suffer shock, if not disaster, if the minimum wage were significantly raised. A hardening of opposition to the satisfaction of Negro needs must be anticipated as the movement presses against financial privilege

The first page and a half of Hate In Precarious Times. This passage was written in 2018/9 but published 2021. We have known since 2016.
Towards the end of high school, I read Biedermann und die Brandstifter (Biedermann and the arsonists) by Max Frisch. It was a compulsory text for our German class and a book that has stayed with me all my life. Primarily, I think, because at some fundamental level, it terrified me, articulating a basic truth about our capacity to blindly walk into a catastrophe. Despite our intelligence and ingenuity, reasoning and rational calculation, fantastic imaginings and foresight, the play shows just how reluctant we are to acknowledge what is readily apparent if it challenges what we want to believe. Written in 1958, the play centres on the activities of two arsonists disguised as itinerant salesmen who convince people to let them stay in their house only to burn it down. In the play, Biedermann is fully aware of the arsonists. He sits down to breakfast and obsessively reads reports about them in the local newspaper; yet, when they knock on his door, he can’t bring himself to think that the cordial Schmitz and, later, the candid Eisenring are the criminals his town is being terrorized by. Consequently, he lets them in. As Schmitz and Eisenring make their preparations to burn down Biedermann’s house, he watches them take barrels of gasoline up the stairs. When Biedermann asks what they are doing, they tell him they’re going to burn down his house. He laughs, still unable to believe the two ‘salesmen’ are really going to do what they are so clearly now doing. Finally, he even helps measure the fuse and then gives them the matches to start the fire. Frisch was, of course, at pains to make it clear that Biedermann was not unique in his inability to see what was really happening. The German word bieder means ordinary or conventional but also has connotations of conservative and upright. Biedermann is, thus, the worthy everyman who believes his own sense of propriety makes him immune. [See alt text in next image] Among the many interpretations of this story, the most popular is as an allegory for the ease with which the German people enabled the rise of Nazism. In our current political context, it is therefore an especially relevant literary work given the current resurgence of populist nationalism, neo-fascism and white supremacism that is threatening to overturn the international, liberal democratic consensus. The threat is most evident in the rise of Donald Trump, a man with deep authoritarian tendencies who loves strong leaders like Putin, Erdogan and Duterte; he boasted that he’d like the American people to listen to him in the way the North Koreans listen to Kim-Jong Un and constantly refers to [2] mainstream media as ‘the enemy of the people’. Aside from these dictatorial aspirations, Trump exemplifies the problem because he rose to power on a racist, white nationalist ticket that included the demonization of Muslims and Mexicans. This agenda was signalled prior to the election through Trump’s promotion of Birtherism, the racist conspiracy theory about President Obama’s place of birth, and then confirmed by early nominations to his administration that included Jeff Sessions as the attorney general. This is a man known for his attempted prosecution of civil rights activists known as the Marion Three and whose last act as the attorney general was ‘to sabotage the legal instruments of federal civil rights enforcement’, which will have a disproportionate effect on black communities across the United States (Bennett and Takei 2018). There was also the short-lived appointment of Michael Flynn as the National Security Adviser, who proposed that ‘fear of Muslims is rational’, and Stephen Miller, whose portfolio includes the Muslim ban and the policy separating migrant children from their parents. This politics was also signalled through the appointment of Sebastian Gorka as a security adviser and a man fond of wearing medals with a connection to Hungarian Nazis.

Poem formatted on a green gradient, like the color of pickles. "Like a ten-gallon pickle jar lid, I will not move" I will not budge, no matter their begs, tricks, or tears. They summon itinerant basketball players to grip my lid. Their fingerspans do not move me. They drag in mechanics with tools. What deprives cars of their nuts fails. I am uncrackable, timeslipped from a future that sears, where pickles themselves decide when to leave my sterile sanctum As the red sun strikes just right after the crescent moon’s fully kissed Pisces in the sky, And I ascend to astral planes.

Epstein.
A cult. Kidnapped children. Sexual abuse. Blood sacrifice. Mutilation. A world-wide organization. Covered up by the CIA. This sounds like a bad Ludlum novel, but it was reality. In Wash-ington, D.C. In 1987. In Unholy Alliance, I wrote extensively of another such cult, this one based in Chile. Called Colonia Dignidad, it was run by a former World War II Luftwaffe officer and defrocked (?) Baptist minister, and was involved in the trafficking of children from various countries, torture of political prison-ers, and other Nazi pastimes. It was covered up by the Pinochet government and by its secret service, the dreaded DINA. It was finally uncovered, raided several times, and its back broken. We think. Its owner and founder was apprehended and is now awaiting trial as you read this. There is a lot of hysteria on the subject of "satanic cult survivor syndrome," and much of the skepticism which greets these claims is well deserved. However, when confronted with a real-life children-sex-sacrifice-CIA cult what are we to believe? How do we answer the skeptics who insist that it's a figment of overactive imaginations and underactive libidos? How do we answer the believers who accept that there is a worldwide satanic conspiracy involving stolen children and cult members impregnated to give birth to sacrificial babies? The Finders case has robbed us of the luxury of disbelief. And the CIA has robbed us of the answers we need to put the Finders in some sort of per-spective, some method in which to handle this bizarre information in a way more suitable to our early 21st century sensibilities. One set of sinister questions remains, and has yet to be answered: not in the Customs documents, not in any of the news reports. The answer may be buried Bobby in the MPD files marked SECRET (if they still exist at all) or in the CIA's own files on the matter. What did the Finders do with the children after they"found" them? Where did they go? Where was the school in Mexico? What did they do there? How many more were there? And….. where are they now and what are they doing? And to whom? Item: When Lee Harvey Oswald made his famous trip by bus to Mexico City in 1963, ostensibly to obtain a visa for Cuba, he sat next to an Englishman by the name of John Howard Bowen, alias Albert Osborne. Bowen was an "itinerant preacher" of the Baptist persuasion, an elderly gentleman who traveled frequently to Mexico, according to Warren Commission exhibits (mostly FBI interrogation reports). When confronted by the FBI, Bowen claimed he had borrowed the identity of Albert Osborne, an Englishman who was also an itinerant Baptist preacher, when investigated by the Mexican authorities at a time when he couldn't find his own identification. He claimed that Osborne was an Englishman but that he, Bowen, was born in the United States. Unfortunately, the other passengers on that fabled bus trip to Mexico City identified Bowen as an Eng-lishman, and eventually the FBI concluded that Bowen and Osborne were one and the same. 16 What is interesting is the fact that Bowen-Osborne was a devoted Nazi both before and during World War II, opposing America's entry into the war, and ran a fascist camp for boys in rural Tennessee until it was closed down in 1942.17 At the time of the Kennedy Assassination in 1963, there were persistent rumors that Bowen-Osborne was running a school for assassins in Mexico, somewhere in Pueblo, under the guise of a "missionary effort." (When Bowen was first interrogated by the FBI, he claimed that he had been ordained a minister in 1914 by the Plymouth Brethren in Trenton, New Jersey. The Plymouth Brethren is the sect to which Aleister Crowley's parents belonged and from whom he "discovered" his true identity as the Great Beast 666.) Even the Warren Commission could not accept the testimony of Bowen-Os-borne, and they were easy marks. Gradually, stories of Bowen's connections to American paramilitary organizations began to circu-late, including his involvement with the Minutemen. It was Fred Crisman's purported relationship to the same paramilitary group that led to his interrogation by Jim Garrison in 1968. A Mexican school for assassination. The recruitment of young boys. Nazis. The Christian Right. 1963.

Aymeric mentions him a little here in Cherchez Les Femmes, when she and Gisèle are playing their Victorian truth or dare game, but the order was founded by Saint Valerian centuries ago. A poet and itinerant mystic, he was also an anguissette, though this was scrubbed from church record at some point
Aymeric nodded, his dark brows furrowed once more, this time in deep contemplation of her words, rather than concern for her well-being, for his expression turned thoughtful, his generous lips pursed. "Tis remarkable to hear you describe it as such. Saint Valerian wrote prolifically on the matter of mortification of the flesh, of the transcendent nature of surrender. He spoke of it in much the same way: that submission, even pain, drew one closer to the Fury, for he believed Her wrath an act of mercy-of love, even. Betimes I believe it true, when I dare wield the lash, and lose myself in it. And I have seen it in Estinien's eyes, when I do. I wonder...was it peace he sought, when he begged it of me?"

Oh I remember this from the itinerant preachers who showed up every year or so at my undergrad in the mid 90s (Bro. Paul and Sis. Pat)--they went on about all kinds of relationships being sinful (gay, interfaith, childfree marriage) but just called interracial/cultural marriage "difficult"
