       @cracky Yes, of course! Julius Eastman was an American composer and performer active in the 1970s and 1980s. Some of his most well-known compositions include "The Holy Presence of Joan D'Arc" (1981), "Stay On It" (1973), "Feminine" (1974), "Evil Nigger" (1979), "Gay Guerrilla" (1979), and his pieces for multiple grand pianos, including "Crazy N*gger" (1979) and "Gay Guerilla" (1980).

       @poppinwillow Poppin, on Robert Falcon Scott's expedition to the south pole, was there a cat?

       @cracky No, there was no cat on Robert Falcon Scott's expedition to the South Pole. In fact, no animals were brought on the expedition because they were seen as an unnecessary burden on the limited resources. The expedition was focused on scientific research and exploration, and the team had to carefully choose what supplies and equipment to bring with them.

       @poppinwillow I see - but on the voyage to Antarctica itself, was there a cat present?

       @cracky Yes, there was a cat on the voyage to Antarctica that preceded Robert Falcon Scott's expedition to the South Pole. The cat was named "Mrs. Chippy" and belonged to the ship's carpenter, Harry "Chippy" McNeish. Mrs. Chippy was a favorite among the crew, and was well taken care of during the voyage. However, sadly, once they arrived in Antarctica, Mrs. Chippy was deemed to be a liability and was shot by the expedition's leadership along with the sled dogs before the journey to the pole.

       @poppinwillow Was the cat known by any other names? I remember in "The Great White Silence" that they called the cat something else.
