James @studiousbadger.eurosky.social · 18/09/2026A century earlier, on 18th Jan 1881 the 'Visiter' ran ashore off Robin Hood's Bay, North Yorkshire. No local boat could be launched due to the violence of the storm, so the Whitby lifeboat was brought OVERLAND 6 miles to the bay itself. Through 7ft snowdrifts 200 men cleared the way by hand. 16938

James @studiousbadger.eurosky.social · 23/08/2026Absolutely this. Academic freedom cannot be a cover for discredited/pseudoscientific claims of racial superiority. Science is not a tool to be used to insinuate an answer while giving the speaker somewhere to retreat to when challenged. 093
