Here lay all my hopes and dreams @thunder-core - Tumblr Blog

Have you ever wondered how people experience the constant stream of information about ongoing world crises?

While the impacts of ongoing war on the psyche of survivors is extensively studied and documented, resources regarding the experience of the bystander (any person outside of the direct impact zone of conflict) are few and far between. Now, more than ever, with the onset of social media and the implementation of infinite scroll, we are constantly offered difficult pieces of information which change the way we perceive the dangers of our reality.

Over the past few years I've been dealing with intense feelings of guilt regarding my comfortable student lifestyle in Eastern Europe, while much of the world has been burning. I've been feeling powerless in the face of these large-scale ongoing conflicts, and as if none of my monetary contributions have made a difference. It's a very isolating experience, given that many people around me don't seem to want to think about issues which "don't concern them".

This is why I decided to create a small survey with which to explore this topic, together with the question of whether the ordinary person feels they have the power and desire to change something in the world.

The poll will be open until April 15th, at 12:00 UTC +2 o'clock and the results will be used as data for a new independent article.

Do you like answering questions in polls?

Are you 16 or older?

Your opinion matters to me and perhaps the results of the survey can help you feel less alone, too.

PLEASE CONSIDER JOINING MY ANONYMOUS POLL AND REBLOGGING SO THAT WE CAN GET A BIGGER DATA POOL! If you enter your preferred email address at the end, I'll make sure to send you a notification about the results once the survey closes, and once the article gets written :)

This form is completely anonymous and the results will be used as data points for the creation of an independent article on the current glob

This article has no political or institutional affiliation. I'm just a girl who wants to hear about other people's experiences in these difficult times.

I asked my friend to name all the jobs on a ship and this is her official list

First hand man

Captain (first hand man’s bff) (looks like captain crumch)

Person in the birds nest (might be dead)

2 people to clean

1 or two cooks

2 sail men

3 bodyguards

One who literally knows where you’re going (could be captain or not) (the captain doesn’t know where they’re going)

A scientist

An animal (mascot)

Kind of like a guy you don’t know what his job is but he’s just kind of there below deck and we don’t know why he’s there

Jester

One person who’s really old and one person who’s really young and they’re in cahoots (they’re the main characters)

Suddenly struck with a need to explain to you how boat pronouns work (I work in the marine industry).

When you're talking about the design of the boat, you say "it".

When the boat is still being built, your say "it".

When the boat is nearing completion, you can say "it" or "she".

When the boat is floating in the water you probably say "she", unless there is still a lot of work to be done (e.g. no engine yet) then you say "it".

When the boat is officially launched and operating, you say "she". If you continue to say "it" at this point you are not incorrect but suspiciously untraditional. You are not playing the game.

If you are referring to a boat you don't really know anything about you may say "it" ("there's a big boat, it's coming this way"). But if you know its name, it's probably "she" ("there's the Waverley, she's on her way to Greenock").

If you are talking about boats in general, you say "it" ("when a boat is hit by a wave it heels over")

If you speak about a boat in complimentary terms, it's "she" ("she's a grand boat"). If you are being disparaging it may be it, but not necessarily ("it's as ugly as sin", "she's a grotty old tub").

If she has a boy's name, she's still she. "Boy James", "King Edward", "Sir David Attenborough"? The pronoun is she.

If it's a dumb barge (no engine), you say it. But if it's a rowing boat (no engine), you say she.

I hope this has cleared things up so that you may not be in danger of misgendering floating objects.
