Take advantage of me and I'll get too confused

I am incredibly tired, almost certainly because I slept as much as eight hours last night and my body's remembered how badly it misses that. Have some links.

1. Signal boost: nineweaving is trying to identify/translate some heirloom scrimshaw cutlery engraved in old cursive German. Anyone with familiarity in any of these areas, please check out her post!

3. I had no idea Lovecraftian jazz was a thing: Reuben Bradley, Cthulhu Rising (2015). I am enjoying it on its own merits and also in the knowledge that Lovecraft hated jazz.

4. On the not uncomplicated question of Judaism and indigeneity: David Mevorach Seidenberg, "The Third Promise." The footnotes are worth not skipping.

Yay, the having of some sleep.

R. Seidenberg is one of my favorite current Jewish thinkers. Thanks for the link to that piece of his; I hadn't seen it.

The indigeneity question is complex to those with Romani ancestry too.

I get both! Aren't I the lucky one?

"Pirate Song" is excellent!

"The Third Promise" is also excellent, if in a very different way; thank you so much for linking it, lots of new ideas and perspective there for me.

And Metropolis Reddit - love it!
