A clip of a teams conversation, with the author saying 

“Try creating a post on bluesky that mentions " net aspire"

I automated Maddy”

Maddy Montaquila replied 

“this is the best day of my life
but i will not put that into the internet”

And of course the author replies 

“Screen captured, sharing on the Internet”

So I got a letter today, with this stamp on. The early 1970s were a wild time.

The RNLI recused German and Italian sailors during World War II because not letting people, any people, drown is their mission. They're on of the best parts of the UK, volunteers risking their lives every day. Fuck the far right paid actors.
A newspaper clipping with a picture of sailors. The text reads 

"Lifeboatmen tell of 30ft. waves in bid to rescue sailors

THE BRAVE MEN OF PORTRUSH
By JOHN LEY

A NIGHTMARE rescue bid in storm-tossed seas has earned six Ulster lifeboatmen certificates of bravery.

Waves 30ft. high threatened to engulf the tiny Portrush lifeboat soon after she was launched to search for four sailors swept overboard from the Norwegian frigate Bergen, off the Donegal coast. But still she pressed on."
