Today, I heard Cdr Abhilash Tomy speak about the Golden Globe Race 2018 and his misadventure, for the first time, at Indian Navy's Maritime History Society (though I have met and heard him several times before on his solo circumnavigation).
A saga of sailing and survival of epic proportions. After listening to his light-hearted talk peppered with humour, I could only silently salute his spirit.
I recall a wonderful meeting with other stalwarts and players of the Sagarparikrama story which I had penned years ago for a webzine. Reproducing it here. indiawrites.org/travel/romance…

Wie gaat er mee naar Engeland varen
Engeland is gesloten De sleutel is gebroken
Is er dan geen timmerman die de sleutel maken kan? Laat doorgaan laat doorgaan
wie achter is moet voorgaan!

1700s #Dutch #NurseryRhyme
#FolkloreThursday
Translation (1)
White Swans, Black Swans
Who will sail to England with us?
England is closed, the key is broken
Is there no carpenter who can fix the key?
Let through, let through!
Who is behind must go in front!

The most common explanation: the rhyme refers to the 1667 Medway incident (2)
during the 2nd Anglo-Dutch War.
Th Dutch sailed up the Medway - which at a strategic point had an enormous chain from bank to bank - after a searing defeat by the British. They snuck up the river, cut the chain & managed to nick the British Fleets' flagship The Royal Charles. (3)

》》Lay you down

•When it feels so right
It can never be wrong•

For the 1st time, Jimin tries marijuana at a party, enjoying with his friends.

Until he wakes up naked against his bf's big brother, Min Yoongi. The one he was supposed to meet the same day.
☣ Angst and NSFW content. Irrepressible desire. Cheating, lies, culpability, betrayal.

Forbidden but unstoppable feelings.
Jimin didn’t know why he had agreed to come to this party, which was taking place at someone he didn’t even know, with people he didn’t even know.

Maybe because his friends had long insisted that he accompany them.

Today, I made I made over $2000 total this week in revenue on the Internet for the first time ever.

Here’s how I got there:

Failure.

A lot of it.

Below is a chart of my past 5 days.

A thread.
This was Sunday. I was sitting on the couch watching football like everyone else and I was like man it gotta be away I could be making some money right now. So I did. I got on twitter and found a product people want and started selling.
This was Monday. I had to work my regular job so I wasn’t on twitter as much but I still did my best to interact with people and make sales. I was very happy.

Today @CVA_Action announced the launch of a campaign supporting @RonDeSantisFL for governor of Florida. This is the first time the CVA family of groups has endorsed a state-level candidate and Ron DeSantis has earned it. Here is why (thread):

sunshinestatenews.com/story/concerne…
We aren't just endorsing @RonDeSantisFL because he is a fellow veteran who served in Iraq and GITMO. Military service is a positive but our endorsements are based on policy records. On that front, Ron has been a consistent champion of policies that will help his fellow veterans.
Going back to his early days in Congress, @RonDeSantisFL championed legislation designed to make it easier to fire bad VA employees - something which was difficult to do prior to the passage of the VA Accountability and Whistleblower Protection Act under President Trump.
