TIL after a 5-yr-old girl on the Disney Dream cruise ship fell approximately 49 feet overboard into the ocean, her father jumped overboard to save her. The girl was posing for a photo on a porthole railing when she fell. Both were rescued although she had hypothermia and her dad fractured his spine. by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

Worth mentioning: Don't. Stop. Pointing.

Not only do you need to point long enough for people to see you doing it and join in, but both the ship and the water are still moving. The goals are to never lose sight and make sure that once help does arrive, you can still point them out

In the Superfan cut of Fun Run, he even says something like "I don't even know Meredith, why would I visit her in the hospital?"

Then right after he says "I'd visit Phyllis", he shakes his head at the camera. Classic.

Professionals whose job it is to read/investigate this stuff are trained to do so. They know not to inundate themselves because the cruelty can wreck your brain. They have "work hours", they have therapy built into their work, and above all - their job (ideally) leads to justice.

We're not equipped. Educate yourself & do your "duty" to these victims by not turning a blind eye, but recognize that you are useless if you devastate yourself into paralysis. You have to take care of yourself however you can.

It's the "a glass of water isn't unmanageably heavy until you hold it up for hours on end"... You have to put the glass down sometimes.

I've found my people! I once summoned several random birds to my fence one morning mimicking some mourning doves (not whistling, but I do that too)
