Hi what’s up.

Some stories really make you stop and think… 💔 How could anyone treat an innocent child that way? What do you think should happen when parents fail to protect their own child? I’d really like to hear your thoughts.

8/6/2026 Sunrise after storm and dolphin 40+ days on the sea! I was a bit tired after rowing longer shifts in 3 hours on/3 hours off at a low or no speed wind/current! But turning around and seeing the sunrising from afar boosted me up a bit! Since my food pedal was lost to the sea during the knockdown a few days ago, I rowed in Ran’s seat, or in my seat but using his foot pedal! Changing seats changes the views and has given me different perspectives. In a pair setup, rowers do not change seats much, if at all, considering factors like weights, placements of personal items, etc. Now that I have less options, i actually find enjoyable to have varieties and adaptations as a result. So, let’s not be afraid of making changes, you may find it rewarding. Then, it comes the reward: a group of playful dolphins flopping around us, “catch us if you can!” Yeah, of course, I thought and automatically picked up the speed of my sleepy oars, and shouted out, “I’ll follow you if I can!” — it’s a beautiful morning, and it’s a new beginning, of a day…

DEBUNKING BS MEMES: The Whole Truth, Not Half of It I LOVE posts like this. 😂 Nothing like watching history get strategically cropped, rearranged, and repackaged into something a little more comfortable. So what do we have here? Were Europeans enslaved in North Africa? Yep. Did slavery continue in parts of the Ottoman Empire after Black Americans were emancipated? Yep. Awww, look at that. We found some truth! Now let’s see what happened to the REST of it. 😂 The popular estimate says roughly 1 to 1.25 million Europeans were enslaved in North Africa over centuries. That figure comes from historian Robert Davis and is an extrapolated estimate whose methodology has been disputed. But here’s my favorite part. To make this comparison work, we’re going to count Europeans enslaved across North Africa over centuries, but when it’s time to count enslaved Africans, we’re only going to count those transported directly to what became the United States and the 13 colonies. Oh. 😂 How convenient. Because if we counted the entire transatlantic slave trade, we’d have to mention the approximately 12.5 MILLION captive Africans forced aboard slave ships, about 10.7 MILLION of whom survived to disembark throughout the Americas. But shhhh. Don’t mention the Caribbean. Don’t mention Brazil. Don’t mention the rest of the Americas. Just draw a little circle around the United States and voilà! ✨ History has been successfully resized to fit the meme. European slavery was real. Nobody needs to erase it. But you don’t get to minimize one historical atrocity by strategically shrinking the numbers of another. That’s the beauty of a half-truth. You don’t have to lie when you can just leave out everything that ruins the story you’re trying to tell. Nice try, though. 😌 Context will ruin a good BS meme every time.
