"Rebels! Turn out your Dead!": The Prison Ship Martyrs of the American Revolution | Readex
The modern rush of life in Brooklyn's historic Wallabout neighborhood is a stark contrast to the brutal history beneath the pavement. Just a stone's throw away is Wallabout Bay where, in the winter of 1779, the former hospital ship, HMS Jersey, was converted into a prison ship. This vessel would later become known as "Hell" by all who entered.In an extract of a letter dated 1781, an unnamed prisoner aboard the ship wrote,I am not able to give you even the outlines of my exile; but thus much I will inform you, that we bury 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 prisoners a day: we have 200 more sick & falling sick every day; the sickness is the yellow fever, small pox, and in short every thing else that can be mentioned.I had almost forgot to tell you that our morning's salutation is, 'Rebels! Turn out your dead!'

The House with Good Bones Audiobook by @tkingfisher.com feels like what I would imagine it would be like if @thebloggess.bsky.social were to narrate a horror novel. The accent, the unflinching wit, the slow descent into societal horror. It's all there. #horrorbooks #horrorwriters
Anyone else feel like when they go through periods where you don't have time to read, write, or create you just don't feel like yourself anymore? I'm coming out of a slump where I have been bogged down with other things & now I'm starting to feel like me again. #writerstruggles #writingcommunity
