NEW FITZNEWSLETTER open.substack.com/pub/jamesfitzj…

@robynow_ Vengaboys! They still exist, wow. My fellow Dutchies, I feel proud.

innocently attempting to visit the transport museum only to find the entrance had been transformed into the horrific intersection of kaiju con, a vengaboys concert, and Celtic winning the league

@LtJWFairholme @Xdrawrrrr In some strange alternate timeline it's possible apparently 😂 The two men who Sir John Barrow asked favours for before his retirement. Creates a bond haha.

@CaptFitzjamesRN @Xdrawrrrr RICHARDSON???????? And Fitzjames???? I’m creasing

So I managed to find a sample and. Well. I can't say I expected any of that (except for the narration being AI) 💀💀💀💀

"Col. Sabine made very severe reflections upon Austin – if he had been sent in 1819 instead of Parry, we shd have had the Croker Mountains still barring Lancaster Sound." [Sophie Cracroft's 1851 journal] 🥲🥲🥲 Croker Mountains will never be forgotten.

@Xdrawrrrr Yeah it's probably supposed to be Franklin and Richardson, the story makes no sense now. 😂 AI is a shitty writer, humans have nothing to fear.

@CaptFitzjamesRN I had no idea he was a real person, and considering he's around the same age as Franklin and was on the coppermine expedition, I wonder if the AI got Franklin and Fitzjames confused?? This is hurting my head I'm sticking to human made yaoi from now on 😭

@Xdrawrrrr en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Rich… He's real but went on earlier expeditions with Franklin and went on an FE Search. Unless it's not supposed to be this Richardson. Strange AI story, a human can write a better one.

@Xdrawrrrr John Richardson and Fitzjames! Well I certainly never expected that one. 😂 This AI story just grabbed a bunch of names and phrases from allover the place.

@Kelvinthegoatt Yessss and the real ones will listen!

@CaptFitzjamesRN The word must be spread🙂‍↕️

有時唔明點解我啲post流量咁少

@Kelvinthegoatt I don't know that much about Nelson & Hardy so learning through you! Not many people are interested in my special guys but I try to promote them as much as I can and if I can get a handful of people invested, I'm happy.

@CaptFitzjamesRN It happens on tumblr too😞 I guess not many are invested in hardy and Nelson.. but thank you! It means a lot

@justanormaIgirI We'll be so powerful! Together we can save our husband's reputation, let's write anonymous letters to all the newspapers and pamphlets etc.

Oh..... 👀

@ortrudethevegan Thank you! You can watch my talk on the RGS's website. 😄

@CaptFitzjamesRN Wow! Impressed!

Sherard Osborn speaks at the Royal Geographical Society for the first time and he's so nervous. I can relate, that was me on 27 April 2026 at the same RGS!! [Sophia Cracroft's 1851 journal]

@er_ebuss That is very kind, but I'm always speaking too fast at the start because of nervousness, but then I'm fine once I get going. 😅

@CaptFitzjamesRN Thank you! I can’t even imagine how much time i have to spend public speaking to get to your level of smoothness😅

First conference kinda nervous (they are really actually going to kill me there)

@petitetuunbaq @Ceres_mea As a John Ross enjoyer I am very willing to see any negative tea about Evil Nephew. I'm fair though so looking into what it all means!

@CaptFitzjamesRN @Ceres_mea omg tea

I found some incriminating evidence that shows if true (would the person involved lie? No, it's not John Ross haha) that James Clark Ross was indeed Evil Nephew and lied so he could get his ass back home asap on his Franklin Search Expedition. Rossier ain't on FitzBarrow level.

@Celadona12 I might be wrong and it's actually about another expedition 😅 but still, juicy! I've asked the JCR scholar what she thinks.

@CaptFitzjamesRN Oh my…

@On_TheArrow I might be wrong and it's actually about another expedition 😅 but still, juicy! I've asked the JCR scholar what she thinks.

@CaptFitzjamesRN 😳 oh no

@Ameseriens Or maybe it was about a different expedition... but it's told in a conversation about the FE Searches. 🤔 I will definitely look into it before I officially slander JCR. 😅

@CaptFitzjamesRN 👀👀👀 BIG DRAMA IF SO!!!!

@panfriedgeek He was bribing someone with alcohol to lie for him.... I haven't looked if someone has already published this whole thing somewhere. Gotta check.

@CaptFitzjamesRN omg? 🫪

@erebuspalooza @emacebarry Oh, they're yours! 💖

@CaptFitzjamesRN @emacebarry I made sure to bring some over from Glasgow!!!!

jirving grave ?!?
