Please make a post about the story of the RMS Carpathia, because it's something that's almost beyond belief and more people should know about it.
Carpathia received Titanic’s distress signal at 12:20am, April 15th, 1912. She was 58 miles away, a distance that absolutely could not be covered in less than four hours.
(Californian’s exact position at the time is…controversial. She was close enough to have helped. By all accounts she was close enough to see Titanic’s distress rockets. It’s uncertain to this day why her crew did not respond, or how many might not have been lost if she had been there. This is not the place for what-ifs. This is about what was done.)
Carpathia’s Captain Rostron had, yes, rolled out of bed instantly when woken by his radio operator, ordered his ship to Titanic’s aid and confirmed the signal before he was fully dressed. The man had never in his life responded to an emergency call. His goal tonight was to make sure nobody who heard that fact would ever believe it.
All of Carpathia’s lifeboats were swung out ready for deployment. Oil was set up to be poured off the side of the ship in case the sea turned choppy; oil would coat and calm the water near Carpathia if that happened, making it safer for lifeboats to draw up alongside her. He ordered lights to be rigged along the side of the ship so survivors could see it better, and had nets and ladders rigged along her sides ready to be dropped when they arrived, in order to let as many survivors as possible climb aboard at once.
I don’t know if his making provisions for there still being survivors in the water was optimism or not. I think he knew they were never going to get there in time for that. I think he did it anyway because, god, you have to hope.
Carpathia had three dining rooms, which were immediately converted into triage and first aid stations. Each had a doctor assigned to it. Hot soup, coffee, and tea were prepared in bulk in each dining room, and blankets and warm clothes were collected to be ready to hand out. By this time, many of the passengers were awake–prepping a ship for disaster relief isn’t quiet–and all of them stepped up to help, many donating their own clothes and blankets.
And then he did something I tend to refer to as diverting all power from life support.
Here’s the thing about steamships: They run on steam. Shocking, I know; but that steam powers everything on the ship, and right now, Carpathia needed power. So Rostron turned off hot water and central heating, which bled valuable steam power, to everywhere but the dining rooms–which, of course, were being used to make hot drinks and receive survivors. He woke up all the engineers, all the stokers and firemen, diverted all that steam back into the engines, and asked his ship to go as fast as she possibly could. And when she’d done that, he asked her to go faster.
I need you to understand that you simply can’t push a ship very far past its top speed. Pushing that much sheer tonnage through the water becomes harder with each extra knot past the speed it was designed for. Pushing a ship past its rated speed is not only reckless–it’s difficult to maneuver–but it puts an incredible amount of strain on the engines. Ships are not designed to exceed their top speed by even one knot. They can’t do it. It can’t be done.
Carpathia’s absolute do-or-die, the-engines-can’t-take-this-forever top speed was fourteen knots. Dodging icebergs, in the dark and the cold, surrounded by mist, she sustained a speed of almost seventeen and a half.
No one would have asked this of them. It wasn’t expected. They were almost sixty miles away, with icebergs in their path. They had a responsibility to respond; they did not have a responsibility to do the impossible and do it well. No one would have faulted them for taking more time to confirm the severity of the issue. No one would have blamed them for a slow and cautious approach. No one but themselves.
They damn near broke the laws of physics, galloping north headlong into the dark in the desperate hope that if they could shave an hour, half an hour, five minutes off their arrival time, maybe for one more person those five minutes would make the difference. I say: three people had died by the time they were lifted from the lifeboats. For all we know, in another hour it might have been more. I say they made all the difference in the world.
This ship and her crew received a message from a location they could not hope to reach in under four hours. Just barely over three hours later, they arrived at Titanic’s last known coordinates. Half an hour after that, at 4am, they would finally find the first of the lifeboats. it would take until 8:30 in the morning for the last survivor to be brought onboard. Passengers from Carpathia universally gave up their berths, staterooms, and clothing to the survivors, assisting the crew at every turn and sitting with the sobbing rescuees to offer whatever comfort they could.
In total, 705 people of Titanic’s original 2208 were brought onto Carpathia alive. No other ship would find survivors.
At 12:20am April 15th, 1912, there was a miracle on the North Atlantic. And it happened because a group of humans, some of them strangers, many of them only passengers on a small and unimpressive steam liner, looked at each other and decided: I cannot live with myself if I do anything less.
I think the least we can do is remember them for it.
can non-lesbians stop doing shit like this?
There is everything to despise about this woman.
I fucking hate this people. I fucking HATE these people

This is true btw. I did a report about Ann Boney in school and Read actually liked her back so they ran away together and were considered the two most terrifying pirates across the seven seas
Lesbian Pirates
Give us this film
Just fyi - many of the illustrations and statues of them show them with their breasts exposed. This is not because they are sexualising lesbians but because these women often used to open their shirts and expose a breast when they killed a man just so the man’s dying thought would be the realisation that he was killed by a woman.
tits out for murder!!! a true aesthetic!!!
Help with flashbacks
There’s a lot of posts out there with helpful things to do.
I want to make one that’s more simplistic. I know I get overwhelmed easily. Follow this if you’re struggling right now. Step by step.
The most important thing to do is ground yourself.
That was the past. This is now.
Take a deep breath. Put your hand over your heart. Slowly inhale. Feel your heart. You’re here. You’re alive. You’re okay. Count to ten. Exhale slowly. Count to ten.
Do this and focus on your heart rate. Keep your hand over your heart. Feel it. It should slow down. Do this as many times as you need.
Look around the room. What do you see? Name all the blue items. If you’ve been through this before then pick a different colour.
Put on some music. Soft, soothing music. Or something hardcore that pumps you up.
Sing along. Feel the beat. Bounce your knee to it.
If you can… Light a scented candle or something similar. Smell it. Do you? What does it smell like? If you can’t. That’s okay. Carry on through the post.
The past is the past. You are here now and you are alive.
Play a distraction game.
Start with the letter A.
( Name)’s favourite animal is (animal) and their favourite food is (food) and they live in (place)
Example: Ashley’s favourite animal is an ant eater and her favourite food is apples. She lives in Arizona.
Go through the alphabet.
Breathe. You’re okay. You’re here. And I’m proud of you.
If you’re calm enough, and if you’re able, write about the flashback. You can even send me an ask about it. It really does help.
If you need to. You can cry. I know it’s hard. But it really does feel like a weight has been lifted. You aren’t weak if you need to cry.
You are safe. You’re okay. Let it out.
Remember. You are not weak. You’ll get through this. You always do.
I’m proud of you.
Do you ever think about how sperm don’t work right at body temperature and that’s why males have external testicles? Design-wise that is such a huge risk to take. Your most important organ is swinging free outside your body, vulnerable to injury or attack. All because one (1) type of cell, your fucking gametes for christ’s sake, cannot function at the normal body temperature of the organism they belong to. What the fuck. I never want to hear a man try and say females are biologically inferior ever again.
While I’m at it also they have to share one hole that they both pee and have sex out of. That’s fucking gross and unsanitary. Everytime a man cums in you you’re also getting all the pee that was in his urethra enjoy that thought ladies. You know how many holes birds have? One. They pee, poop and have sex all in the same hole it’s called the cloaca. You know how many holes women have? Three. Because we evolved one. Evolution-wise, men fall somewhere between a chicken and a human female. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.
“Evolution-wise men fall somewhere between a chicken and a human female” lol
Chidera Eggerue, 23, used to resent her drooping breasts and dreamed of the day she could get a boob job. Now she is encouraging women to love their bosom buddies – no matter the size or sag.
“For the women who look like me: Your saggy boobs matter. And from now until you die, what’s going to matter, ultimately, is your character. Sometimes people are scared of what they haven’t been taught to accept. We still have to exist loudly, though.”

Glad to see her over here on Tumblr
Garden variety man mansplains to women what we are or aren’t allowed to care about.
Neckbeard better be careful pussyhat granny on his left is looking like she’s about to give him a taste of what savagery women are put through constantly every-damn-where on this planet.
Why does this man think what he says matters?
Leave it to males to shove their way into a WOMEN’S march and tell women how we should behave
Anyway i very much resent the bonds between women being derogatorily waved off as “cis-terhood” as though they’re less valuable than the time spent pouring energy and resources into coddling males like we’ve always been made to do
Males and TIMs need to be fucking banned from attending any feminist or women’s events, period. They have nothing valuable to contribute. They just get in the fucking way and make women uneasy. It isn’t FOR them.
this is mind blowing , it shows how men will steal everything from women and mark it as theirs , how come the TW are becoming the default women (sisters) and biological women get the dismissive (CIS-ters) , why dont he stand against men the actually victimize TW or thats a hard target for him and his elk .
Because that would be risky and he likes telling women what to do
I honestly would bet all the money in my bank account that a large portion of these guys are just average white misogynist males who want to see how much bullshit they can get liberal feminists to gobble up for their own amusement.
Absolutely
Raise your hand if you’re a bi woman who completely understands when lesbians don’t want to date bi woman because people can date whoever they want and chasing after/berating people for not dating you is creepy and misogynistic 🙋♀️
