Letter from J[ulia] M[errill] Moores to John Muir, [ca. 1870\u27s].

King Death.King Death was a rare old fellow! He sat where no sun could shine; And he lifted his hand so yellow, And poured out his coal-black wine. Hurrah! for the coal black wine!There came to him many a Maiden, Where eyes had forgot to shine; And widows with grief [illegible] laden, For a draught of his sleepy wine. Hurrah! for the coal-black wine! The Scholar left all his learning; The Poet his fanced woes; And the Beauty her bloom returning Like life to the fading rose. Hurrah! for the coal-black wine!All came to the royal old fellow Who laughed till his eyes dropped brine, 00856[Page 2]So he gave them his hand so yellow And pledged them in Deaths black wine Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah! for the coal-black wine!If this is not the one – let me know – and & I will try again – but I think I am right this time. The direction on the yellow envelope is written by Charles’ Aunt Kate So I send it. Merrill sends his love – he is going to Danville Ill. to visit his cousins for a fort night after school is over. Good night J.M. MooresChar. remarks, that “That Cornwall don’t know much about [underlined: punctuality] – He gets his exclamations wrong.

My Wife\u27s Gone to the Country: Hurrah! Hurrah!

Hurrah!I don’t care what becomes of me,My wife’s gone away.” VERSE 2He kept the ‘phone a going,Told ev’ryone he knew,“It’s Mister Brown, come on down town,I have some news for you.”He told a friend reporter just why he felt so gay,Next day an advertisement, in the papers read this way.

I\u27m Afloat! I\u27m Afloat!

I\u27m afloat! I\u27m afloat! on the fierce rolling tide,The ocean\u27s my home, and my bark is my bride!Up! up! with my flag! let it wave o\u27er the sea,I\u27m afloat! I\u27m afloat! and the rover is free!I fear not the monarch, I heed not the law;I\u27ve a compass to steer by, a dagger to draw;And ne\u27er as a coward! or slave will I kneel,While my guns carry shot, or my belt bears a steel!Quick! quick! trim her sails, let her sheets kiss the windAnd I warrant we\u27ll soon leave the seagulls behind;Up! up! with my flag! let it wave o\u27er the sea!I\u27m afloat! I\u27m afloat! and the rover is free!I\u27m afloat! I\u27m afloat! and the rover is free! The night gathers o\u27er us, the thunder is heard;What matter, our vessel skins on like a birdlWhat to her is the dash of the storm ridden main?She has brav\u27d it before, and will brave it again!The fire gleaming flashes around us may fall;They may strike, they may cleave, but they cannot appal;With lightnings above us, and darkness below,Through the wild waste of waters right onward we go;Hurrah! my brave boys, ye may drink, ye may sleepThe stars fiend is hush\u27d, we\u27re a lone on the deepOur flag of defiance still waves o\u27er the sea,Hurrah! boys hurrah! the rover is free! Hurrah! boys hurrah! the rover is free

Mothers behaving badly: chaotic hedonism and the crisis of neoliberal social reproduction

This article focuses on the significance of the plethora of representations of mothers ‘behaving badly’ in contemporary anglophone media texts, including the films Bad Moms, Fun Mom Dinner and Bad Mom’s Christmas, the book and online cartoons Hurrah for Gin and the recent TV comedy dramas Motherland, The Let Down and Catastrophe. All these media texts include representations of, first, mothers in the midst of highly chaotic everyday spaces where any smooth routine of domesticity is conspicuous by its absence; and second, mothers behaving hedonistically, usually through drinking and partying, behaviour that is more conventionally associated with men or women without children. After identifying the social type of the mother behaving badly (MBB), the article locates and analyses it in relation to several different social and cultural contexts. These contexts are: a neoliberal crisis in social reproduction marked by inequality and overwork; the continual if contested role of women as ‘foundation parents’; and the negotiation of longer-term discourses of female hedonism. The title gestures towards a popular British sitcom of the 1990s, Men Behaving Badly, which popularized the idea of the ‘new lad’; and this article suggests that the new lad’s counterpart, the ladette, is mutating into the mother behaving badly, or the ‘lad mom’. Asking what work this figure does now, in a later neoliberal context, it argues that the mother behaving badly is simultaneously indicative of a widening and liberating range of maternal subject positions and symptomatic of a profound contemporary crisis in social reproduction. By focusing on the classed and racialised dynamics of the MBB – by examining who exactly is permitted to be hedonistic, and how – and by considering the MBB’s limited and partial imagining of progressive social change, the article concludes by emphasizing the urgency of creating more connections between such discourses and ‘parents behaving politically’

Distinguished Gallantry in Action

Among the many paintings of Abraham Lincoln hanging in the Civil War Institute, there is one face that may not be as familiar. Peering out from a small wooden frame in the main office sits Philip Goettel, a Civil War soldier. His posture is relaxed as he sits in a chair proudly displaying his Union uniform. A caption with the mere word “Father” appears below him, along with a significant date: 1863. Truly, the year 1863 would be a pivotal year in Philip Goettel’s life. He would be wounded, scale a mountain under fire, and earn a Medal of Honor.
