i never fail to be amused at everyone suddenly discovering the pope is catholic

Thanks for this!

Frisland was one of the islands described in the Voyage of the Zeno brothers, a sixteenth-century literary forgery. This text, & its islands, continues to fascinate us, as demonstrated by a recent issue of Martin Mystère: www.sergiobonelli.it/prodotto/le-....

No crying, no literature.

Let’s do a special issue!

The phantom island "Frisland".

Here is the non-existent phantom island next to Iceland: "Frisland". A couple of years after this map was printed, the island finally got erased from maps. But lots of maps of the North Atlantic from the 1560s through the 1660s do have this island.

Water your word documents once weekly, preferably with your tears

Correct.

That's gonna be in 12 volumes, right?

The dead reader is a legend of #bookhistory fame and #booksky fear. 📚 #amreading

Good point!

*eras and errors (to be honest)

Oh yes!

Since March 1st 2026, everyone sensed this would be a long year full of eras for the history books. #skystorians

Agreed. The solution is called „unfollow“

I would like to see this.

Honestly, get some air.

Every day you open this app, you decide to enter this space. But my posts are my posts. I do not have to post about the mess of the world every day, or at all. I post my stuff, my (not so funny) jokes, and comments. We all cope differently. So leave me alone with your rules about what to do.

This is the way!

It doesn’t have to be an organ, so no panic. I have heard from #skystorians that an oboe is fine too. And a bassoon. And an octobass of course. 🎼

If you are a writer, try this at home: speak to your word document, play music to your printed out texts in the making. You’ll be surprised. #writing

As you can see: this was a special tree for big bound books. Pamphlets grew on smalles bushes only. #bookhistory

How can you be talking about HISTORY with everything that's going on. 18th century history? Women's history? Waves hands.

Friends, it is precisely because of everything that's going on that we need to talk about history much, much more.

This image from 1588 shows a tree with big bound books grewing instead of fruits. This tree starts in a house organ that is played from a well-dressed woman and a man. The image of part of. abook praising the art of making books, you may find it here if you fancy: http://diglib.hab.de/drucke/uh-20/start.htm

Back in 1588, everyone still knew that book trees grow better when there's music around, and when you speak to them. Attention and house organ music were the key.
