1/x On a June morning in 1904, a thousand women and children boarded a paddle steamer in New York for a Sunday school picnic. Within an hour, more than a thousand of them were dead, in a burning ship, in a river, in sight of the shore. The General Slocum. A 🧵 #maritimehistory

1/x So, in the last week I witnessed a bit of an ugly discussion on X between John Konrad of GCaptain and others about the status of merchant mariners during wartime. This has spurred me on to make a series of threads about the merchant navy during WW2 and I'm going to start with a statue.

1/x In December 1950, an American freighter with berths for 12 passengers loaded 14,000 refugees and carried them through a minefield to safety. Nobody died. Five babies were born. It remains the largest rescue by a single ship in history, and it ended on Christmas. A small 🧵 #maritimehistory

We don’t talk enough about how much of our days have become entangled in determining what’s real. What’s genuine. What’s human or what’s synthetic. What’s worth our time after having already spent it. It’s a grotesque skill we’ve all been forced to master, and a waste of energy none of us can spare.

2. A stranger noticed you and smiled you just didn't see it

3. Someone still remembers something kind you did years ago

4. You've been the reason someone didn't give up

5. Your name has come up in conversations you'll never hear

6. Someone defended you when you weren't in the room

7. There's someone who checks your messages and smiles

8. Your life inspires people who never say a word

The DOJ will indict one man over something that happened 30 years ago as a pretext for invading Cuba, but it won’t indict *any* men Jeffrey Epstein trafficked girls to as recently as 7 years ago as a pretext for protecting those men. Time to remove the word “Justice” from the department’s name.

Constantly having to write letters to the government explaining that some LGBT asylum seekers are also Christian and the fact they believe in God doesn't mean that they're lying about their sexuality, and so they really cannot be sent back to countries with The Death Penalty for homosexuality.

How you talk about marginalized people matters. Period. If you can't be bothered to learn to not use slurs, you're expressing a disregard for those identities, and as a public servant, pretty clearly communicating what does and does not matter in your worldview.
